Focal Vestia No.1 may sound like a new fragrance, but in fact it’s the smallest and most affordable model in the French manufacturer’s mid-price Vestia range. It features some interesting technologies along with some staunchly individualistic design choices.
The Vestia No.1 is a two-way design, with a bass reflex port facing forward from the bottom of the cabinet. Above it there’s a 16.5cm mid/bass driver made from Focal’s ‘slatefiber’ arrangement of recycled carbon fibre. At the top of the front baffle there is a 25mm aluminium/magnesium M-shaped inverted dome ‘TAM’ tweeter inside a urethane waveguide. Focal says high-frequency response extends to 30Hz.
On the outside, Focal has attempted to make the No.1 as distinctive as possible, with a choice of finishes that variously involve ‘leather-effect’ vinyl and grained wood-effect material.
