Our Product Research Team
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.
That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box,
verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.
We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Driver Technology
2-Way Speaker: The Focal Bird is an ultra-compact, 2-way
satellite loudspeaker that produces huge, dynamic sound for its size.
Aluminum Dome Tweeter: The Focal Bird satellite
speaker employs a 0.75" aluminum dome tweeter for crisp, clear highs.
Polyflex Midbass Driver: The Focal Bird features a 5.5"
polyflex cone midbass driver for accurate, detailed midrange and midbass.
Enclosure Design
Sealed Enclosure: The Focal Bird satellite loudspeaker
utilizes a sealed (acoustic suspension) cabinet for a natural, flat response.
Gloss Black or White Finish: This ultra-compact loudspeaker
features a modern-design, contemporary looking cabinet in either a gloss-black
or gloss-white finish (with matching grille). There is also a silver rim around
the speaker.
Connections
Spring-Post Speaker Terminals: The Bird satellite speakers
are fitted with spring-post speaker terminals to connect your speaker wire. The
spring-post terminals of the Bird satellite speakers accept bare wire (up to
12AWG), pin-connectors, and single banana plugs. The spring-post terminals are
spaced too far apart (2") for standard dual-banana plugs (0.75" apart).
Concealed Speaker Wire: The included table-top
stands/wall-mounts have a hollow body, so you can route and conceal your speaker
wire. Speaker wire from
Monster or
AudioQuest sold separately.
Color-Coded: The spring-post terminals are color-coded
(red/black) for easy identification between positive and negative.
Mounting Options
Table-Top/Wall-Mounting: The Focal Bird satellite
loudspeaker comes with two table-top stands/wall-mounts to choose from. You can
choose from either a circular-base or a tripod-style table-top stand/wall-mount.
The table-top stands/wall-mounts can do exactly that; they allow you to either
place the speaker on a table, shelf, or desk; or mount the speaker to your wall
or ceiling. Mounting hardware is included to wall/ceiling mount the speaker. The
table-top stands/wall-mounts features a ball-on-socket joint which allows you to
rotate and angle the speaker for the best possible listening position. When
placed on a table or shelf with the circular-base stand, the Bird satellite
speaker measures 6.5625" (w) x 11.125" (h) x 6.5625" (d). Using the tripod-style
stand, the Bird satellite speaker measures 8.75" (w) x 11.125" (h) x 8.75" (d).
The Bird satellite speaker measures 7.125" from the front of the speaker to the
wall, when wall-mounting the speakers.
Note: You must use the included table-top
stands/wall-mounts to place the speaker on a flat-surface or to wall mount
the speaker. The speaker does not include keyhole slots or threaded
inserts for other wall-mount applications.
Optional Floor Stands: Optional floor-stands (091BSB/W,
sold separately) are available for the Bird satellite speaker. The floor-stands
features a hollow steel body for cable routing and a composite base with an iron
weight for stability. The floor-stands connect to the satellite speaker via a
ball-and-socket joint. The floor-stands are sold in pairs and come in either a
black or white finish. These optional floor-stands measure 41" in height and the
base is 10" in diameter.
