Manufacturer’s Description

Clear Mg Professional is the essential pair of headphones for discerning sound engineers and producers. To equip these open-back headphones’ 1 5/8″ (40mm) full-range speaker drivers with M-shaped inverted domes; Focal engineers designed a new material: a magnesium cone. This offers extreme precision. The tonal balance is remarkable, as is the bass articulation and the level of detail across the full sound spectrum.

The curve of the headband, high-resilience memory foam earpads, evenly-distributed weight… Everything has been covered to allow you to forget you’re wearing headphones at all. Meanwhile, the black and red colours combined with the “honeycomb” signature on the earcups offer a touch of modern elegance.

PERFORMANCE

FOCAL SPEAKER DRIVERS

Clear Mg Professional incorporates 1 5/8” (40mm) full-range speaker drivers with magnesium ‘M’-shaped inverted domes. Thanks to this brand new cone, combined with the frameless 1″ (25mm)-diameter and 1/4″ (5.5mm)-high copper voice coil, the sound experience is made extremely precise, delivering impressive detail across the full spectrum while preserving excellent tonal balance.

Running-in period

These headphones require a running-in period in order to operate at their best.
They will run themselves in naturally after several hours of listening time.
If you want to speed up the process, we recommend playing very bassy music through them for at least 24 hours at a relatively high volume.
This will stabilise the speaker drivers and allow you to get the very best out of your headphones.

DESIGN

Comfort and openness

The headband design creates a constant curve, wherever the head turns. The weight of the headphones is distributed evenly, preventing the localised pressure point phenomenon. The solid aluminium yoke is covered with a structured black paint, for sleek design and scratch resistance. Instead of the traditional vertically rotating mechanics, these have been moved within the headband for even greater comfort. This allows excellent sealing, particularly beneath the ears, to prevent any acoustic leakage, synonymous with significant bass loss. Finally, the highly resilient memory foam earpads complete the comfortable, open feel.
