Thank you for purchasing the Focal Sib.

Sib is a multi-purpose loudspeaker capable of delivering a high

performance and sound quality whether it be for stereo, home

cinema or background music. For best results in a home cinema

system, we strongly recommend the use of the matching

Focal Cub active subwoofer. Despite its compact size, the Sib

was designed and is built with the same attention to detail as any

Focal product, so we wish you many years of listening pleasure.

In order that you gain maximum performance from this product,

please read carefully through the following instructions and set-up guide below.

We advise you to keep this guide so that you can consult it when needed.
