Focal Trio11 Be
3-way active monitor
An 11-inch bass driver gives Trio11 Be a broader low-frequency brief within Focal’s nearfield and midfield range. Its switchable two-way mode lets you compare full-range balance with a bass-limited perspective.

MODEL COMPARISON
How it compares
Trio11 Be remains the current SM6 model. It is larger and heavier than Trio6 ST6 and uses a single two-way Focus option rather than Trio6’s two Focus modes.
For music or production, compare its cabinet size and listening distance with the space you have available.
DESIGN
What makes Trio11 Be distinctive?
Check transfer without changing seats
A footswitch selects the two-way Focus mode for a reduced bass response. The footswitch is not supplied; factor it into a workflow that needs hands-free comparison.
SYSTEM SETUP
Connections and placement
Source and volume control
- Use a compatible balanced XLR line-level connection from a DAC or preamplifier with volume control, a monitor controller or an audio interface. Confirm output level and volume control before connecting. Amplification is built in; do not connect a power amplifier’s speaker output.
Room and listening position
- Match left/right placement around the listening position and check reflections from desks and nearby walls. Use measurement to assess the bass response at the seat.
