Customer Review Summary
The Focal Sub12 is an outstanding product that significantly enhances the audio experience when paired with the Trio11 and another Sub12. The sound quality is magnificent, showcasing Focal’s commitment to excellence in manufacturing, proudly made in France.
Having deliberated for quite some time about expanding my stereo system, which features ATC 110 speakers, I finally decided to incorporate a subwoofer. My main speakers were already impressive, but I found that they struggled to reach the desired levels when played loudly. As a former user of the Focal Sub6, I was confident that the Sub12 would meet my needs perfectly.
Utilising the Trinnov ST2 Pro as a crossover, I made a few adjustments and was very pleased with the resulting sound. After consulting with Focal, I opted to keep all the settings on the back of the subwoofer at zero, which worked remarkably well for me.
However, I did encounter a minor issue: I received two subwoofers that had different colour tones. Given the price point of around £5000, this discrepancy was somewhat disappointing, which is why I’ve rated the build quality slightly lower.
All in all, I am extremely happy with my purchase and the performance of the Focal Sub12!
