From Our Research Team:Focal Quality in a Nearfield Monitor!Following in the wake of the extremely successful CMS 50 and CMS 65 monitors, the Focal CMS 40 offers you the same exceptional definition and precision imaging, in a smaller format that's ideal for nearfield monitoring. A pair of CMS 40 studio monitors can provide you with amazing monitoring accuracy as close as 16" away. They are absolutely ideal for use in monitoring situations where space is limited and sympathetic vibrations may cause objects and surfaces to rattle. They also make wonderful satellites for surround monitoring, and if you have a larger and better-tuned studio, a pair of CMS 40 monitors is a wonderful secondary monitoring source, allowing you to check that your mixes will translate onto smaller speakers. Whatever your setup may be, the unmistakable quality and detail of Focal CMS 40 studio monitors can help you produce better music.Focal CMS 40 Active Studio Monitor Features at a Glance:

February 6, 2012 Music Background: Musician/Video Producer An audiophile-grade professional studio monitor
by Eric Dean from Medical Lake, WA, USA
These studio monitors have exceeded my expectations. They are replacing a high end consumer power amplifier and midrange audiophile speakers combo, and have surpassed the quality of my prior speaker/... read more [+]amp combo by a large degree. The sound is very detailed, neutral, three-dimensional and the CMS 40 has this wonderful capability (when used with good source music) of presenting the sound as if the speakers were not the source, but as if the music was live in the room right before you. However, cabling quality is very important with these monitors, and I would urge whomever purchases these speakers to budget for a high quality, teflon-insulated, balanced interconnect to feed the XLR inputs on the speakers from your converter/preamp, or recording interface, etc., as lower quality cabling will impede the three-dimensional sound attributes and reduce the level of detail as well. Also, a vibration isolation product also benefits this pair, and tightens up the already well-defined bass even further. Highly Recommended! close [-]
November 13, 2011 Music Background: Hobbyist Not the size of the dog in the fight.....
by from Daytona Beach, FL
These monitors are extremely natural sounding and have a huge openness in the high end that other monitors do not have. These monitors don't "hype" certain frequencies like others in the price range ... read more [+]do (the bm5a's hype lows) Some may say they don't good but little do they know these monitors play back what you put in accurately. If they don't sound good its not the speaker. Don't hesitate on the size or the price these monitors are worth their weight in gold. My suggestion is get the sub to match as they lack some of the "moving" frequencies other than that they are amazing!!! close [-]
October 7, 2011 Music Background: Audio Engineer. The best little Monitor Speaker that I ever heard
by Alberto F. Esperon from Merritt Island, USA
I received these Monitor speakers about two weeks ago and I'm blown away by the quality and the definition that it has. Everything that I mix here in comes out the same in the radio and other devices.... read more [+] Is incredible what the speaker do. Great entry level speaker and you will just need a Subwoofer if you want bass. Will recommend for anyone looking for a good speaker to your ears (When you don't have a lot of ears to find the right frequencies lol) Great job Focal close [-]
