'À la carte' concept

NEW

For years the Utopia range has been a
myth for all music and car lovers. It has
become a benchmark thanks to our unique
technologies.

With our rich history and strong DNA, we
set ourselves a huge challenge: to renew
the range and establish a new reference of
high-end drivers in the market.

And thus Utopia M was born, the quin­tessence of our expertise and our latest
patented technologies.

Utopia M is an innovative, 'à la carte'
concept, that lets you build your own bes­poke system depending on your vehicle, the
only limit being your creativity and that of
the installer fitting it.

When devising its unique design, a mix
of tradition and innovation, our designers
drew on the codes and richness of French
architecture.

This work was possible thanks to the deve­lopment of our patented 'M'-profile 'W'’
sandwich cone, which pushes the bounda­ries by perfectly combining the 3 criteria
essential for creating the ideal driver: rigi­dity/lightness/damping.

In combination with our patented TMD® sur­round, distortion is reduced, thus increasing
the precision and realism of the midrange.

Our Beryllium tweeter also benefits from
these innovations and includes an 'M'-shape
inverted dome combined with our TMD®
surround, which provides a striking level of
detail.

With Utopia M, the legend continues...
