Focal Kanta N°2 Floorstanding Loudspeakers (each)

The Focal Kanta N°2 hits a sweet spot in the Kanta lineup, delivering the scale and bass of a true three-way floorstanding loudspeaker without requiring the room or physical presence of the larger Kanta N°3.

It combines dual 6.5-inch Flax woofers, a dedicated 6.5-inch Flax midrange, and Focal's IAL3 pure Beryllium inverted-dome tweeter in one of the most distinctive loudspeaker designs Focal has produced.

For someone looking to step beyond Aria Evo X into a more serious Focal system, Kanta N°2 is a natural place to land.

Dual 6.5-Inch Flax Woofers

Kanta N°2 uses two 6.5-inch Flax woofers with Focal's NIC motor technology.

The dual-woofer configuration gives the speaker impressive low-frequency capability while maintaining the speed and control of a smaller driver.

Bass response reaches 35Hz ±3dB, with useful extension down to 29Hz.

That's enough low-frequency performance to build a serious full-range two-channel system without automatically needing a subwoofer.

Focal Flax Cone Technology

Focal's patented Flax sandwich cone places high-quality French flax fiber between two thin layers of fiberglass.

The construction gives Focal the combination it wants from a loudspeaker diaphragm: low weight, rigidity, and internal damping.

The result is fast, controlled bass combined with a natural midrange that doesn't add unnecessary coloration to voices and instruments.

It's one of the technologies that gives Kanta its character.

Dedicated Midrange with TMD

Kanta N°2 uses a dedicated 6.5-inch Flax midrange driver with Focal's TMD — Tuned Mass Damper — suspension.

TMD helps stabilize the driver's suspension and control unwanted resonance, particularly through the critical midrange frequencies.

This is where vocals, guitars, piano, strings, and much of the information that gives music its character lives.

Giving that range its own dedicated driver allows the dual woofers to concentrate on bass while the midrange handles the part of the music where clarity and natural tone matter most.

NIC Motor Technology

Focal's NIC — Neutral Inductance Circuit — technology helps stabilize the magnetic field surrounding the drivers as their voice coils move.

That improved magnetic stability allows the drivers to behave more consistently throughout their excursion.

The result is better control, greater definition, and lower distortion, particularly when the system is playing at higher levels.

Pure Beryllium Tweeter

High frequencies are reproduced by Focal's 27mm IAL3 pure Beryllium inverted-dome tweeter.

Beryllium's combination of extremely low mass and exceptional rigidity allows the tweeter to respond quickly while extending all the way to 40kHz.

It's one of the defining technologies separating Kanta from Focal's more accessible loudspeaker ranges.

The benefit isn't simply more high-frequency information. It's the ability to reproduce fine detail, ambience, space, and transient attack without making the tweeter itself the focus of the listening experience.

Focus Time Driver Alignment

The shape of Kanta N°2 isn't purely cosmetic.

Focal's Focus Time architecture angles the individual driver sections toward the listening position so the drivers are positioned at a more consistent distance from the listener.

This helps their output arrive together, improving coherence, imaging, and the stability of the soundstage.

It's part of what allows Kanta N°2 to create a large, precise presentation without requiring an enormous enclosure.

High Density Polymer Front Baffle

The sculpted front baffle is molded from a single piece of Focal's High Density Polymer, or HDP.

Focal developed the material specifically for Kanta. It provides greater density, rigidity, and damping than conventional MDF while allowing Focal to shape the area surrounding the drivers to minimize diffraction.

The result is both functional and visual—the curved one-piece front baffle has become one of the signatures of the Kanta family.

Focal + Naim

This is where being a Focal Powered by Naim store makes a real difference.

Focal specifically recommends the Naim Uniti Nova PE with the Kanta N°2, and it's an excellent example of how simple a serious high-end system can be.

The Nova PE handles high-resolution streaming, DAC, preamplification, and amplification in one component.

Add a pair of Kanta N°2s and you have a complete Focal and Naim system without filling the room with separate electronics.

At The Grid, you can experience that combination properly and compare it with other amplification options depending on your room, music, and listening preferences.

Two-Channel or Home Theater

Kanta N°2 is an outstanding two-channel loudspeaker, but it can also become the foundation of a complete Focal home theater.

Combine it with the Kanta Center, matching surrounds, architectural Atmos speakers, and properly selected subwoofers and you can maintain the same Focal character throughout the room.

At The Grid, we can design the entire system around it—including processor, amplification, subwoofers, television or projection, screen, acoustics, seating, lighting, networking, and Control4 automation.
