SAINT-ÉTIENNE, France, Nov. 6, 2025 — Focal is redefining home cinema with Mu-so Hekla, an elegant all-in-one system that fuses exceptional performance with effortless ease-of-use. Designed to transform everyday moments into deeply immersive, emotion-filled experiences, Mu-so Hekla is the perfect balance of power, beauty, and versatility for modern living, integrating seamlessly into your everyday routine.

SPECTACULAR IMMERSION

Inspired by Iceland’s Hekla volcano, the system delivers powerful, enveloping sound thanks to Dolby Atmos^® technology. Whether it’s films, music, or video games, Mu-so Hekla enhances every piece of content with breathtaking spatial audio, powered by the acoustic and electronic expertise of Focal and Naim.

From Stereo to Dolby Atmos^®, Mu-so Hekla offers a suite of Customizable Audio Modes. Accessible through the Focal & Naim app, they include Sphere Music and Sphere Movie – both specially designed by Focal and Naim engineers. The Sphere module, found within the Naim Pulse Platform, ensures true high-fidelity sound reproduction through ultra-optimized, latency-free computing power, delivered via Hekla’s dual-core processor.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, SIMPLY CONTROLLED

Mu-so Hekla is effortless to set up and use, connecting seamlessly to your music sources, including high-resolution streaming.

Hekla’s tactile volume dial offers a smooth, elegant way to adjust volume and access key features.

With versatile wired connections, including HDMI eARC and optical Toslink, Mu-so Hekla connects easily to your TV, gaming console, or CD/Blu-ray player, supporting everything from 2.0 setups to fully immersive 7.1.2 configurations. Powered by the Naim Pulse Platform, it offers instant access to your music.

EXCELLENCE MADE SIMPLE, COMPACT AND REFINED DESIGN

Behind its refined design lies a meticulously engineered acoustic architecture, with speaker drivers arranged for expansive coverage and exceptional clarity in both stereo and immersive configurations. As the newest Mu-so flagship, it sets the benchmark for all-in-one systems, delivering true high-fidelity performance with effortless simplicity, whether for music or home cinema.

Crafted from brushed anodized aluminum, Mu-so Hekla exudes understated luxury in a single, sculptural form. Its alternating brushed and bead-blasted finishes recall the precision detailing of fine watchmaking, echoing the “watch crown” design code found on Diva Utopia, while the finely perforated grille and signature volume dial – a nod to its volcanic namesake – add a touch of elegance. At the rear, the distinctive Naim heat sink cleverly combines heat regulation with integrated Wi-Fi connectivity.

SONIC EXPLOSION, POWER AND PRECISION

Mu-so Hekla packs 15 speaker drivers powered by 660 watts to comfortably fill rooms up to 430ft² / 40m² with rich, detailed sound. The woofers provide rich, enveloping bass, with the option to add a subwoofer via the RCA output, while full-range drivers project sound that interacts naturally with walls and ceilings for an immersive experience. This spatialization, developed by Focal’s acoustic engineers, combine Beamforming and Crosstalk Cancellation technologies to ensure precise, detailed sound placement. For optimal performance, ADAPT intelligent tuning technology automatically calibrates the system to the room and listening preferences for perfectly personalized experience.
