User manual
Thank you for choosing Focal and for sharing our passion for the “Spirit of Sound”. Designed using the latest
technology, these speakers integrate Focal’s perfectionist believes, developing products with high power
handling, and unrivalled sound quality. To obtain the best results from this product, we recommend that you
follow carefully all the information contained in this user’s manual. If not correctly followed, any fault observed
may not be covered by the guarantee.
Warning
The performance of the Focal Bomba BP20 allows high sound pressure levels to be generated. We remind you that
sustained listening beyond 110dB SPL can permanently and irreversibly damage your hearing. We recommend that
you adjust the level of your equipment correspondingly.
Precautions
For the subwoofer to perform at its best, we recommend to use it in a location where temperature doesn’t go below
5°C.
