Sib XXL: user manual

Thank you for choosing the Sib XXL loudspeakers. We are pleased to share 
our philosophy: "the Spirit of Sound". Sib XXL fits right into the Focal 
tradition and, as such, benefits from outstanding technological expertise in 
stereo and home theater.

In order to get optimal performance, we invite you to read carefully these 
instructions and keep that booklet handy so that you can refer to it later on.

Features

Aluminum dome tweeter with OAL (Optimum Acoustic Loading) phase plug:

 exceptional bandwidth up to 35kHz 

for wide dispersion, smooth and dynamic treble, compatible with new high performances audio format.

Polyflex

®

 cone woofers:

 high performance synthetic cone for high dynamic bass impact and detailed mid-range.

OPC

®

 (Optimum Phase Crossover):

 phase optimization for a precise, natural and stable soundstage.

Braced curved precision MDF cabinets:

 rigid cabinet without any internal resonance for lower coloration.

Front laminar port:

 for a vigorous bass reproduction.

Magnetic shielded:

 Sib XXL can be placed near a CRT without distorting the picture.

Run-in period

The speakers are complex mechanical devices and require an run-in period before they deliver their best performance. 
They must get adapted to the temperature and humidity conditions of their environment. This run-in period 
depends on the encountered conditions and can last several weeks.

In order to shorten this period, we advise you to let your loudspeakers operate for about twenty hours at medium 
level, playing standard musical programmes, but with a large amount of bass.

Once the components of the loudspeakers are completely stabilized, it is possible to enjoy the real performance
of your loudspeakers.

The Focal-JMlab guarantee only applies if the enclosed guarantee card is returned to us within 10 days of purchase.
