It is possible to customise the FOCAL ELECTRA

nominal sound signature to achieve this:

•

Increase the power from the central speaker using the dedicated setting in the balance tab, by moving it one or two notches to the right.

•

One or two fader notches to the front (i.e. the arrows symbolising the power displacement on the picture of the seats in the balance tab).
