Focal JMLab, the French speaker specialist, is completing its Profile series with two new devices, dubbed SR908 and IW-908. SR stands for Surround, IW for In-Wall.
The SR908 is a surround bi-polar speaker that takes on the Profile series aesthetic codes. It carries four speakers, of which two dome-shaped aluminium/magnesium alloy inverted dome diaphragm tweeters, and two medium “W” cone speakers.
JMLab claims that an optimized diffusion configuration allows for an 180 degrees homogeneity, so that those who are listening cannot actually locate the loudspeaker. It is a 175 Watt device, with 91 dB sensitivity, and 75-Hz to 30.5-kHz.

The SR908 should ideally complement any multi-channel system.
It comes in “Style”, “Classic”, and “Signature” finish
