Description
This Focal Twin6 Be 6.5″ 3-Way Powered Studio Monitor was gently owned by the late, great Bob Rupe, former bassist for Cracker. It’s in very good cosmetic shape with normal scratches on one side and is in 100% working condition! The original power cable was absent, but a replacement is included. Comes in its original shipping box.
Bob played with the popular 1990s alternative rock band from roughly 1994-1999 and appeared on several recordings including The Golden Age and Gentleman’s Blues. He was also a founding member of The Silos and went on to record with House of Freaks, Gutterball, Danny and Dusty and Sparklehorse. Sadly, he passed on March 3, 2025, but he leaves behind a collection of work that will live on in the hearts and minds of his fans.
Other pieces of gear that Bob acquired throughout his illustrious career are also available, so please feel free to check out our other listings and don’t hesitate to let us know if we can answer any questions you may have.
The Twin6 Be is the best-seller of the Focal Professional range and the most versatile work tool of the SM6 line. It represents the only necessary solution for recording, mixing and mastering. The image precision, treble definition as well as midrange neutrality are at the heart of its reputation. The excellent articulation of the bass and midbass registers, even at very high sound levels, makes it an unavoidable reference for engineers who require absolute transparency.
Furthermore, the design of the Twin6 Be permits a high-SPL while, at the same time, offering a stable tonal balance. One of the two 6.5″ woofers works in large band (midrange–bass) whereas the other reproduces from 40 to 150Hz. This creates a bass that preserves all the signal dynamics, without any masking effect in the midrange, thereby keeping all its neutrality and transparency. Additional control of the bass register is accomplished by fine-tuning on the control plate on the back of the Twin6 Be in order to obtain a perfect mirror configuration with its mate.
The Twin6 Be can be installed vertically or horizontally to respond to the space requirements of each studio.
