Focal Chooses SPARK Microsystems’ UWB Wireless Tech for New HiFi DIVA UTOPIA Speakers

--News Direct--

SPARK Microsystems, a Canadian fabless semiconductor company specializing in next-generation short-range wireless communications, today announced its collaboration with Focal, the renowned French audio brand, in the development of the revolutionary DIVA UTOPIA loudspeaker. This collaboration brings together Focal’s expertise in high-fidelity audio with SPARK’s Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, delivering a high-performance wireless audio experience.

SPARK’s UWB technology enables wireless data transmission between two speakers, delivering uncompressed audio with ultra-low latency while preserving the sound quality associated with wired connections.

The DIVA UTOPIA is Focal’s first connected, wireless active loudspeaker, designed to meet the demands of those seeking exceptional sound quality with the convenience of modern wireless technology. SPARK’s SR1020 wireless transceiver leverages UWB technology to supply the data transmission between the two speakers, delivering uncompressed audio with ultra-low latency, setting a new standard for wireless audio performance.

“Our collaboration with Focal showcases the advantages of SPARK’s UWB in delivering high-resolution audio without the limitations of traditional wireless technologies,” said Julie Delamarre, SPARK Microsystems, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales. “The DIVA UTOPIA is a great example of how a UWB wireless connection ensures every note is transmitted with the highest fidelity.”

SPARK’s UWB connectivity allows for a seamless wireless connection between the two DIVA UTOPIA loudspeakers, maintaining a stable and lossless signal at 96kHz/24bit resolution. This advanced technology eliminates the need for wires while preserving the quality of sound typically associated with wired connections.

With support for major streaming platforms and wireless protocols, the DIVA UTOPIA offers a versatile and intuitive user experience. SPARK’s UWB technology supports multiroom configurations, making it easier than ever to integrate the DIVA UTOPIA into a complete home music ecosystem.

"The DIVA UTOPIA represents a new era in high-fidelity audio. By integrating SPARK Microsystems' UWB technology, we have created a loudspeaker that not only delivers exceptional sound quality but also offers the freedom and flexibility that today’s consumers demand,” said Rejean Bedel, Focal & Naim, Group Marketing Manager. “This partnership is a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation and redefining the listening experience."

The DIVA UTOPIA loudspeakers are now available exclusively at qualified Focal Powered by Naim stores. For more information, visit Focal's website.
