{"product_id":"focal-sm9-pair","title":"Focal - SM9 PAIR","description":"Incredibly high end, French Made Studio Monitors. \u003cbr\u003e\rAs blurbed by TapeOp.com; \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\rFocal markets the SM9 as \u003cb\u003etwo monitors in one,\u003c\/b\u003e due to the fact that in its default state, it's an active 3-way speaker, with a 400 W amp for the forward-facing 8 inch subwoofer, and one 100 W amp each for the 6.5 inch woofer and 1'inch tweeter. \u003cbr\u003eWith a push of the (vaguely-named) Focus switch, the amp for the subwoofer is turned off and the crossover is altered, so the frequency response changes from 30 Hz — 40 kHz to 90 Hz — 20 kHz (both ±3 dB). Focal claims in its literature that this is to check how the mix will sound on your TV or \u003cb\u003emultimedia systems.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\rThe TapeOp review goes on to comment it is unlikely that any TV or Multimedia system could sound as good as the SM9, but that it is a useful feature all the same. \u003cbr\u003e\rAn additional 11 inch passive radiator on the upper surface, which gives it a definitive look and also happens to preclude stacking a second speaker on top of it.\u003cbr\u003e\rBoth Speakers are in full working order, with only superficial markings on the cabinetry. They are however extremely heavy (34kg each) and necessitate an equally sturdy stand to ensure their(s) (and your!) safety. \u003cbr\u003e In addition, the nature of the bespoke Beryllium Tweeters means that they are \u003cb\u003eextremely magnetic \u003c\/b\u003e in the forward facing field, so particular care should be taken when moving them so that no ferrous material gets sucked into the tweeter dome. (Imagine that you are heavily pierced and need to walk by an active MRI machine - be careful!).\u003cbr\u003eOne 6.5 woofer cover not included*.\r","brand":"Focal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47900273901780,"sku":"MSS116946","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/7401\/8004\/files\/JPEGimage-409E-A47F-60-0.jpg?v=1778157040","url":"https:\/\/www.musicswopshop.com.au\/products\/focal-sm9-pair","provider":"musicswopshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
