Focal launched the first Spirit One headset from 2012. At the time, we speculated that Focal should continue to launch headsets. Sure enough, after the Spirit One, the Spirit One S was introduced. These two headphones are called "Mobile Headphones". Light and good, the sound is level enough. Later, the Spirit Classic looks like the Spirit One, but the details are more refined and the texture is better. Focal is classified as “Hi-fi Headphonesâ€, and what about this Spirit Professional? The model tells you directly that this is a professional version.
Designed by Swiss industrial design company
From the above classification, you can probably tell the difference between the Focal headset product line, but Focal is also very cute, each Spirit headset looks very close, far from the point, really can not distinguish the model difference. Focal is useful to do this. Their headset products have evolved into four models after more than two years of development, but they have been thoughtful before the launch of the first Spirit One, looking for a Swiss industrial design company. Designing a classic look for Focal, each Focal headset introduced later has different grades and different appeals, but the same industrial design can establish the super high recognition of Focal headphones. So, when we see the Spirit Professional headset, although it is not always possible to see the model, but we must know that it is Focal headset, not wrong!
In terms of level, Spirit One and One S are getting started, while Spirit Classic is advanced, and Spirit Professional? That is designed for the professional market, three categories of products, each with its market segmentation. I have a Spirit One headset myself, the sound sounds very easy, the phone can be pushed, and the price is very real, but if you encounter a real high-end headphones, Spirit One still has to be defeated, so when I know that Spirit Professional has When I introduced Taiwan, I was very excited to borrow from the agent to see if Focal’s “upgrade†was felt.
The answer must be said first? Still selling a pass?
Well, don't sell off, Spirit Professional and Spirit One are really different grades, and the difference in sound is absolutely "feeling." As for the difference, please read the official and continue reading.
The diaphragm is made of a composite film of plastic film and titanium alloy.
From a design point of view, Spirit Professional is exactly the same as Spirit One, but the color is cool and black, in line with the professional version of the studio. what? Can't a sound engineer wear colorful headphones? Sorry, that's the DJ's patent. The sound engineer is hiding in the studio. The requirements for the earphones are precise and durable. Therefore, the Spirit Professional's earmuffs turn black and are stain-resistant.
In addition, considering that the sound engineer needs to wear headphones for a long time, the Spirit Professional weighs 280 grams, the same as the Spirit One, and the texture of the Spirit Classic is heavier, 310 grams.
If you only look at the specifications, it is difficult to compare the difference between Spirit Professional and other Focal's own headphones. For example, the four Focal headphones are all made of Mylar/Titanium diaphragm, which is a composite diaphragm combined with plastic film and titanium alloy. The caliber is 40mm, but Focal has designed four headphones with different grades and uses. In terms of efficiency, the Spirit One and One S are the highest with 104dB, while the Classic and Professional are 102dB. The impedance is all the same, both 32 ohms. What about the frequency response? The four models are also the same, all are 5Hz~22kHz. Such a small difference in specifications, what is the consumer should pick?
Pick it with your voice! This is the correct solution!
Clean and transparent high density
How is the difference in specifications so small? But when I put the Spirit Professional on it, the difference in the "100% sensation" sound is guaranteed to be known. Does that mean that Spirit One is not good, and it makes a very good listening impression for Spirit Professional? Sorry, this is not the case, but the difference in sound orientation, making the sound performance of Spirit One and Spirit Professional very easy to distinguish.
Spirit One's market focuses on the design and sound of the Philharmonic, so the sound adjustment is biased towards soft, warm and comfortable, but Spirit Professional is the main studio market, the product trend to meet the needs of the studio, to take accurate and durable routes, and The term "accurate" is to present the essence of the recording, not soft, warm and comfortable. So the personality of Spirit Professional is very clear, it is clean, transparent, plus high-density sound.
When talking about high-density sounds, many readers will find it difficult to understand. What kind of sound is high-density? It's easy to talk about, you can hear about Spirit Professional, but it's still not clear. If I tell you that Spirit Professional has a "highly controlled low frequency", it may be easier to understand. To make the sound soft, warm and comfortable, let the low frequency loose, but the professional version can't do this. They are accurate, so the headphones can't be soft-toned, so you can't hear the intensity and intensity of the recording. Therefore, if you directly compare the A/B, the sound of Spirit One will appear softer and have more low frequencies. However, the texture of Spirit Professional is more rigid, and the feeling of low frequency feels less, but the force is much tighter. This is High density sound orientation.
However, the high-density sound of Spirit Professional still depends on the amp. I use the MacBook Air's headphone output to directly push Spirit Professional. The high-density sound is inferior, but when I add the Meridian Explorer, The sound density of Spirit Professional is easy to hear. In other words, the general mobile phone or notebook can also push Spirit Professional, but the control is not enough, the sound will sound loose, if you really want to push Spirit Professional, plus the quality of the amp help will be great.
Close to the nature of the recording
Of course, the direction of the precise route of Spirit Professional, if you are "low frequency control", you may feel that the low frequency is not enough, but if you want to "close to the essence of recording", then Spirit Professional should be your dish. For example, Fairfield Four sang "I couldn't hear nobody pray", which is a male accompaniment of four voices, although there are only vocals, but the recording is very full and thick, with Spirit Professional to listen, the vocal lines are quite clear The thick voice of the bass is low and magnetic, and the baritone and tenor of the vocal are soft. Even if you listen closely to your ear, you can still feel the relative position of the recorder. If you put it on the Spirit One, the texture will be much softer, and the lines of relative sound will not be as good as Spirit Professional.
See the personality of Spirit Professional? For the needs of the professional market, this is a headset that pursues neutral performance. The recording is thick, Spirit Professional sounds thick, the recording is light, and Spirit Professional does not sound strong, and the recording time is early. , Spirit Professional can clearly hear the noise floor of the analog master.
My recent music lectures, operas are much more, especially Puccini, so when I usually prepare materials, I often need to use headphones to listen, but I chose Puccini recordings, all of them are Karajan, Pavalo, Freney's old recording, listening to the Decca version of the "Bohemian" recording, the sound is very good, but the analogy still leaves the mastering noise, using Spirit Professional to listen, the sound is very accurate, There is no low-band rendering at all, but if the volume is too large, it will appear slightly dry, and it will be replaced by Spirit One. The water is more, but the two are compared. The sound line of Spirit One is more ambiguous, without Spirit. Professional is so transparent.
Writing here, I think even if I continue to cite ten albums as examples, the conclusions are the same. Spirit Professional has a clear market orientation, it is used for the studio "monitor", so the direction is very clear and straightforward, as far as possible without dyeing, although I think Spirit Professional still has the slightly warm texture of Focal, but Basically, if you want to have clear music lines, well-controlled, high-density mid-low frequency, then in the Focal family of headphones, non-Spirit Professional.
