Focal Naim America has announced the release of two immersive HD audio playlists. These new collections, titled "Holiday Cheer" and "Classical", expand the company's existing “Mixed on Focal” series and showcase tracks mixed or mastered on Focal professional monitors and Hi-Fi speakers.
The playlists are now available on Apple Music and Amazon Music HD, offered in Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Reality Audio formats. These technologies provide listeners with a multidimensional audio experience, whether using mobile devices or more advanced playback systems. Access is free for Focal’s Hi-Fi and Pro Audio dealers, press representatives, and both current and potential customers via the Mixed on Focal webpage.
As immersive audio gains momentum, Romain Vet, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Focal Naim America, commented on the significance of this trend: “With the advent of Atmos and Sony 360 sound formats, listeners can enjoy the experience of immersive music on their mobile devices and other playback systems,” said Vet. “Our immersive playlists show off the incredible sound of Focal—especially on Focal headphones or speakers.”
This playlist focuses on instrumental classical tracks mastered by prominent engineers Marc Theriault of Le Lab Studios in Montreal and Michael Romanowski of Coast Mastering in Berkeley, California.
It features performances by renowned artists and ensembles, such as the piano trio of Yo-Yo Ma, Emanuel Ax, and Leonidas Kavakos, as well as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the National Philharmonic Orchestra. Listeners can explore works from celebrated composers, including Ludwig van Beethoven, John Williams, Mason Bates, and Hans Zimmer.
Designed to evoke festive spirit, this playlist includes music mixed by Bobby Campbell and mastered by Theriault and Romanowski. Tracks feature a mix of classic and modern holiday performers, such as the acapella choir Chanticleer, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Luther Vandross, N’Sync, and Preston Pablo.
