Thank you for choosing Focal loudspeakers and for sharing our ‘Listen Beyond’ philosophy. These high-
performance loudspeakers feature Focal’s very latest improvements in the design of speaker drivers
whether it is for high-fidelity sound or Home Cinema. To get the very best out of their performance, we
recommend that you read the instructions in this user manual, then store it in a safe place to refer to in
the future.
Handling (fig.A)
Chora 816/826 loudspeakers weigh almost 20kg. We strongly advise having 2 people lift them
during unpacking and installation.
Chora loudspeakers have sharp corners. Take care not to injure yourself when handling your
loudspeakers.
Fixing the base (816, 826) (fig.B)
To secure the base to the loudspeaker, place the loudspeaker horizontally on a firm surface (e.g. a table),
taking care not to damage the woodwork. Align the base opposite the fixing holes, position the 4 screws
supplied and tighten them using the Allen-key provided. Make sure the base is the right way up (upper part
at the front of the loudspeaker).
Then simply attach the rubber feet or spikes depending on the type of floor your loudspeaker will stand
on. For hard floors, we recommend using the rubber feet.
If installing your loudspeaker on carpet, using the spikes will provide greater stability.
Fixing the silicone feet (806) (fig.C)
Silicone feet are included with the Chora 806 library loudspeakers. If positioning the loudspeakers on a
shelf or furniture unit, make sure you stick on the silicone feet before installation.
If you wish to install your loudspeakers on the Chora feet (optional), please refer to the assembly
instructions supplied with the feet.
Grilles (fig.D)
Chora loudspeakers are supplied with grilles to protect the speaker drivers. They are easy to fit or remove
thanks to their magnetic attachment system.
We advise removing them when you are listening to music to get the best performance from your
loudspeakers.
