3 FOCAL SIB EVO DOLBY ATMOS 5.1.2
Focal’s speaker system won our T3 Platinum Award for its class-leading Dolby Atmos surround and smart design: the front Atmos speakers combine front-firing and upwards-firing drivers in the same unit to deliver a bigger soundstage without taking up lots of room. Don’t let the cuteness of the subwoofer fool you: it’s capable of serious low-end thump.
