However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Key Features
Product Ref: 92652
The Focal Shape 40 Studio Monitor is a compact, nearfield studio monitor featuring a unique design with a side-firing, 4-inch double passive radiator. The 1-inch M-Shaped aluminium/magnesium inverted dome tweeter combines with the 4-inch Flax sandwich cone woofer to deliver an extended low-end range. The Focal Shape 40 is designed without a port so it can be placed near a wall. These monitors can also be used from 60cm away, ideal for larger rooms. The superior-grade technology provides transparent, un-coloured sound, ideal for mixing and mastering applications.
The 4-inch Flax sandwich cone provides optimal low-end response thanks to the high-quality flax fibre core enclosed between two thin layers of fibre glass. The result is high internal damping, combined with the exceptional sound velocity and flexural rigidity. The sandwich technology methods used to create these Flax sandwich cone provides optimal neutrality of sound, ideal for mixing and referencing audio. At the heart of the Shape studio monitor are two Class AB amplifiers that power the drivers for optimal audio performance. The result is controlled and articulated bass as well as a detailed mid-range response. The 1-inch M-shaped aluminium/magnesium inverted dome tweeter provides exceptional high-end detail, combined with the Flax sandwich cone to provide a natural yet rich sound.
One of the most unique features included in the Focal Shape range is the TMD (Tune Mass Damper). The damper surrounds the edge of the Flax sandwich cone woofer, stabilising the dynamics behaviour. This avoids deformation of the cone without affecting the dynamics. This patented technology is used in earthquake-resistant skyscrapers and racing car suspensions to provide added resistance to the resonance frequency to control it. The result is minimised fatigue of the woofer cone over time, providing a natural and rich mid-range.
Another unique technology incorporated into the Focal Shape�s design is the NIC (Neutral Inductance Circuit Technology) providing an incredibly stable magnet circuit. The custom Faraday ring used to achieve this has been optimised using custom materials, dimensions and positioning to ensure the magnetic field no longer affects the positioning of the voice coil. In turn, this ensures the highest-definition audio fidelity and performance possible. The result is high-definition audio that doesn�t compromise the dynamics/contrast.
The Focal Shape Nearfield Studio Monitor is enclosed in an MDF cabinet with natural walnut veneer, which not only looks sleek but provides added acoustic qualities. The rear of the unit features numerous settings for optimal integration including a releasable high-pass filter, adjustable crossover (at 160Hz) and adjustable bass and treble. These attenuation controls allow you to cater to any space or room for optimal audio quality and listening position. The enclosure also features thread for ceiling and wall mounts (fastening accessories not included).
These strong, fixed-height pair of stands have been designed to carry even the largest and heaviest of monitors. Featuring a three-arm design made from solid metal, the weight is evenly distributed throughout the stand, preventing any stress points from heavy speakers.
These speaker stands feature a rubber plate on the top, which prevents the monitor from moving around on the stand. As well as this, the rubber padding offers protection from scratches and dents to the bottom of the monitor. If required you can screw the included plastic spikes into the bottom of the stand, which provides extra support and increased separation from the floor to overcome resonance issues.
