Either of the two Focal 5.1.2 speaker packages featured below will provide you with best-in-class home theater performance without filling up your space with large floor standing and bookshelf speakers. Of course, you will also need to separately supply or select and buy a 7.2-channel or more home theater receiver which has the capability to decode Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound.
Focal Dôme Flax 5.1.2 Home Cinema Speaker System
The eleven-year-old YouTube video above shows off the original Focal Dôme miniature speakers — the new and improved Dôme FLAX speakers and systems with “Made in France” Flax sandwich cones first became available to consumers in 2013 and 2014. The Focal Dôme Flax 5.1.2 home cinema speaker system [manufacturer’s link] [available at Amazon] is probably the very best sounding all-in-one Dolby Atmos and DTS:X ready satellite/ceiling speaker package on the market today!
The five ultra-compact high-gloss lacquered finish aluminum body Focal Dôme Flax satellite speakers [manufacturer’s link] [available – each//pair at Amazon] are perfectly voice-matched, with 1″ aluminum/magnesium alloy inverted dome tweeter and 4″ Flax sandwich cone mid-bass drivers in a sealed enclosure. Each of these 6.8″ high, 5.7″ wide, 5.6″ deep, 4.2 pound versatile placement satellites includes an elegantly-integrated adjustable pedestal stand/wall-mounting bracket, or can be attached to the top of optional matching 33″ tall Dome floor stands [manufacturer’s link] [available at Amazon]. The two 300 ICW4 in-ceiling/wall speakers [manufacturer’s link] [available each at Amazon] for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X elevation/height effects feature the same exact drivers as the five satellites. Dimensions are about 7.6″ diameter and 3.9″ in depth. Cutout diameter is 163mm. Include both a circular and a square paintable magnetic grille.
Lastly, bass is supplied by the wireless flat and compact wall-mountable 16.1″ x 14.2″ x 6.3″ 17 pound Sub Air 110-watt RMS/150-watt-peak powered subwoofer [manufacturer’s link] [available at Amazon] with 8″ cellulose pulp cone woofer and port. Includes a wireless emitter to connect to the subwoofer output on back of your receiver.
How to Buy This Speaker System You can purchase your Focal Dôme Flax 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos home theater speaker system at Amazon.com. This Focal speaker package should be delivered in ONE BOX. Speaker wire, (no subwoofer cable needed), HDMI cables, et cetera are sold separately.
Focal Sib Evo Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 Home Cinema System
Featured during the first twenty six seconds of the above YouTube video, the Focal Sib Evo Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 home cinema speaker system [manufacturer’s link] [available at Amazon] pictured below is far and away the most affordable among Focal’s 5.1.2 Home Cinema Solutions.
Unlike the Dôme Flax system at the top of this page which includes two dedicated in-ceiling speakers for the elevation/height effects, this Sib Evo system directs the Dolby Atmos signal upwards from the top of the front left and right speakers and reflects it off your ceiling. The two 11.6″ high, 7.7″ wide, 7.5″ deep, 7 pound Sib Evo Dolby Atmos speakers [manufacturer’s link] each feature a 0.75″ soft dome tweeter and 5″ polyflex woofer for the front channel, and a 4″ full-range upward-firing driver for the Dolby Atmos channel. The center channel speaker and rear surround effects speakers are three slightly-smaller 9.9″ high, 6.4″ wide, 6.4″ deep Sib Evo 2.0 satellite speakers [manufacturer’s link] [available as pair at Amazon] which each feature a 0.75″ tweeter, 5″ woofer, and rear port. Two wall-mounting brackets are included.
Focal offers optional matching pairs of 35″ tall Hip Evo floor stands [manufacturer’s link] [available at Amazon]. Additional Sib Evo wall mounts are sold individually [manufacturer’s link] [available at Amazon].
Lastly, bass will be provided by the compact, nearly cube-shaped 12″ high, 11.1″ wide, 11.8″ deep, 17.5 pound Cub Evo 200-watt powered subwoofer [manufacturer’s link] [available at Amazon] with an 8.25″ downward-firing driver and a front port. Unlike the wireless Sub Air that’s included with the Dôme Flax system at the top of this page, this Cub Evo sub requires a subwoofer cable to connect it to the back of your receiver.
