FOCAL ALPHA EVO 50 BLACK

Focal Alpha 50 Evo 5-Inch Powered Studio Monitor (Each)

The Focal Alpha 50 Evo 5-Inch Powered Studio Monitor is the most compact member of Focal's redesigned Alpha Evo series — a two-way active nearfield monitor that brings professional-grade transducer engineering to the project studio and home recording environment without compromise. At the heart of the Alpha 50 Evo is a 5-inch Slatefiber cone woofer, a proprietary Focal material constructed from recycled carbon fibre and non-woven thermoplastic polymer, delivering the rigidity of traditional carbon-fibre composite at a lower mass for improved transient response and reduced colouration. The 1-inch aluminium inverted dome tweeter — another signature Focal technology developed and manufactured entirely in-house in Saint-Étienne, France — extends high-frequency reproduction to 22kHz with the precise, detailed character that defines Focal's monitoring philosophy. Both drivers are bi-amplified by 60W of Class-D amplification (35W LF, 25W HF), delivering a maximum SPL of 101dB peak at 1 metre.

Flat, Neutral, and Adaptable to Any Room

What makes the Focal Alpha 50 Evo a particularly well-considered studio monitor is the flexibility of its rear-panel tone shaping, which allows the monitor to be tuned for different room acoustics and placement scenarios without external EQ. A low-frequency shelving filter (±6dB up to 250Hz) compensates for bass build-up near walls, a high-frequency shelving filter (±3dB across 4.5–35kHz) allows tailoring of high-end brightness, and a +6dB input sensitivity switch accommodates interfaces and preamps with lower output levels. As a result, the Alpha 50 Evo performs accurately across a wide range of studio environments, from acoustically treated rooms to untreated home studios. Three input options — balanced XLR, balanced TRS, and unbalanced RCA — ensure compatibility with any audio interface or monitor controller. Sold individually. Available at OneStopMusic South Africa, the Focal Alpha 50 Evo is the ideal compact nearfield reference monitor for South African producers, engineers, and composers who want Focal's French-made transducer quality at an accessible price point.

Focal

Founded in 1979 in Saint-Étienne, France, Focal has spent more than four decades establishing itself as one of the world's most respected manufacturers of professional studio monitors and high-end headphones. Under the Focal Professional banner, the company produces a comprehensive range of studio monitoring solutions — from the compact, project-studio-focused Alpha series through the critically acclaimed Solo6 Be and Twin6 Be powered monitors, to the flagship SM9 three-way reference monitor used in major recording facilities worldwide. Focal's engineering philosophy centres on proprietary transducer technology developed and manufactured entirely in-house in France, including the iconic inverted dome tweeter, W-cone woofer technology (a sandwich construction combining glass tissue and foam for exceptional rigidity and low mass), and the Beryllium tweeter used in the Be series — one of the most transparent and precise high-frequency transducers available in any studio monitor at any price. The professional headphone range — including the Listen Professional and Spirit Professional — brings this same engineering rigour to personal monitoring, delivering studio-reference accuracy in a portable format. OneStopMusic South Africa stocks the Focal Professional range for South African recording engineers, mix engineers, and producers who demand the highest standard of transducer accuracy in their monitoring environment.
