Focal Naim America Delivers New 'Mixed on Focal' Playlists Highlighting Studio Excellence

Focal Naim America, a leader in high-end audio technology and distribution, has unveiled two new additions to its acclaimed "Mixed on Focal" playlist series. Available across major HD audio platforms—such as Apple Music, Qobuz, TIDAL, Amazon Music, and Spotify—these curated playlists showcase tracks that were meticulously mixed using Focal’s professional-grade monitors. For those who value sound quality that captures every nuance of a studio session, these playlists offer an opportunity to hear music in its intended form.

The first of the two releases, “Mixed on Focal #6,” is a masterful 50-track compilation mixed by some of the most respected audio engineers in the industry. Featuring the work of Jeremy Mang, Luca Pretolesi, Bobby Campbell, Leslie Brathwaite, and Will Yip, among others, the playlist reflects a diversity of genres and artistic techniques. All the tracks were crafted on high-performance Focal monitors like the Trio11, Twin6, and Shape Twin—tools renowned for their clarity and precision in professional mixing environments.

For fans of bass-heavy and beat-driven music, the “Hip Hop & Rap Vol. 2” playlist takes center stage. This curated collection delivers an hour of standout tracks mixed by notable engineers deeply rooted in the genre, such as Leslie Brathwaite and Bobby Campbell. Brathwaite’s work—highlighted by Beyoncé’s Sweet Honey Buckin’—utilized Focal’s Twin6 monitor and Sub12 system to ensure dynamic range and depth are preserved. Meanwhile, Campbell’s contributions, including tracks for Logic and Juicy J, were mixed using the flagship Trio11 monitors, pushing fidelity and precision to their limits.

As Romain Vet, VP of Sales & Marketing at Focal Naim America, emphasized, these playlists provide listeners with an experience rooted in authenticity. The meticulous mixing process ensures that the sound aligns with the artist’s original vision, elevating the listening experience beyond conventional streaming.

In an age where low-bitrate audio and inferior playback equipment dominate, Focal’s playlists serve as a reminder of what’s possible when quality takes precedence. Music enthusiasts are encouraged to explore these playlists and rediscover tracks that highlight the detail and artistry often lost in lesser setups. Whether through audiophile-grade headphones or properly calibrated studio monitors, this is how music should be heard.
