Focal introduced the new Diva Mezza Utopia, an evolution of its prestigious Diva Utopia line, now with a larger and even more powerful design. Wireless, active, and seamlessly connected, the design embodies the pinnacle of Focal’s craftsmanship and technological expertise, touted as a significant leap forward in the French company’s pursuit to redefine home hifi. The Diva Mezza Utopia loudspeakers are once again a complete, all-in-one product, with the power to fill rooms of up to 100m² / 1076 sq ft.
Larger and more powerful than its predecessor, the Diva Mezza Utopia loudspeaker system (pair) delivers the acoustic authority of a full high-end system within an elegantly integrated all-in-one product. Its four 8” ‘W’ cone woofers (at 20.5cm, they are 4cm larger than Diva Utopia) are configured in a push-push layout, creating a low-end foundation to allow the full capabilities of the ‘M’-shaped Beryllium tweeter and ‘W’ cone midrange driver to shine, resulting in what Focal describes as “a wider, more articulate soundstage.”
As an active loudspeaker, the Diva Mezza Utopia integrates a completely re-engineered Naim Audio electronics package. Delivering 500 watts per speaker, the system features a dual-stage power supply. At the rear, the sculpted, high-efficiency heat sink ensures optimal thermal stability and long-term reliability.
To meet the demands of high-resolution wireless listening, the Diva Mezza Utopia once again uses Ultra Wideband (UWB) wireless modules from SPARK Microsystems to interconnect the left and right speakers in uncompressed, high-resolution audio at 24-bit/96kHz. UWB delivers the clarity and precision of a wired connection, without the physical constraints of cabling. No word from Focal yet as to if and when it will be possible to stream a sound source over UWB to this system, given that a number of manufacturers are preparing to announce UWB source transmitters (e.g. Remora Pro). Anyway, for those seeking absolute fidelity, a direct wired connection is also available, unlocking studio-grade resolution at 24-bit/192kHz.
Complementing this UWB wireless interconnect is the Intelligent Dynamics Clocking (IDC) technology, a precision clock-control system that ensures exact synchronization between channels for a coherent, stable soundstage. Data transfer is defined by speed, reliability, and timing accuracy.
Additionally, Focal’s patented ADAPT (Adaptive Acoustic Personal Tuning) technology uses a sophisticated algorithm to calibrate the system to both room acoustics and user preferences. Accessible via the Focal & Naim app, ADAPT delivers a finely tuned, personalized listening experience.
Like the Diva Utopia loudspeakers, the new Diva Mezza Utopia benefits from the Focal & Naim ecosystem through the advanced Pulse Platform. This offers extensive wireless connectivity with support for Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and UPnP, enabling access to streaming services including Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz Connect, and QQ Music (China). The system supports high-resolution multiroom streaming and is compatible with smart home platforms such as Control4, Crestron, Savant, and RTI. Users can also control the system effortlessly via the Focal & Naim app, the included remote control, or voice assistants like Google Assistant and Siri.
Behind the design of Diva Mezza Utopia lies the same meticulous craftsmanship and passion that define all Focal products. The body is crafted from high-density polymer using a low-pressure molding process, ensuring precise construction, efficient material use, and acoustic optimization. The speaker rests on a double-level, beveled base and features signature floating side panels – a signature of the Diva Utopia range. These panels are made from felt, an eco-friendly yet refined material, presented in a new ivory hue that highlights the speaker’s contours and adds brightness to any environment. The design is further elevated by distinctive touches, including a dual red and black grille on the tweeter and a brushed aluminum band encircling it. Together, they form the iconic ‘signature watch’ detail – an emblem of Focal’s Utopia excellence.
The new Diva Mezza Utopia all-in-one system will be available from July 2025, exclusively through the Focal Powered by Naim network of authorized retailers for $69,000 USD and $97,249 CAD.
