Focal Naim America Adds A.bsolument for North America Sales Distribution

MONTREAL (July 7, 2021) – Focal Naim America today announces it will be the North America distributor of A.bsolument. With the incorporation of A.bsolument, Focal Naim America will add a lineup of one-of-a-kind radios in North America.

In 2015, the A.bsolument brand was created in France and was the very first brand in the world to provide a modernization of vintage radios and is now the leader in this business. Based on Real Vintage Radio, the founder, Arthur Verne, renovated radios from the 1930’s to the 80’s, integrating Bluetooth as well as updated amplifiers and Focal drivers, giving modern technology a retro look.

A.bsolument is a beautiful story based on exclusivity, love of audio products, pure sound pleasure and artistic design. Each product is a unique piece with its own story and labeled both “Focal Inside” and “Made in France”. “Focal Inside” identifies the modernized radios equipped with Focal speakers. It is a real asset for the credibility of work but mostly for the sound quality provided to the radio.

“Our range of radios represent our expertise of the uniqueness of connected speakers that are a mix of design and audiophile sound quality thanks to the Focal speakers,” said Arthur Verne, Founder of A.bsolument.

“We were meant to collaborate with our French expertise, a remarkable quality of sustainable and artisanal design and conception, as well as an immense passion for music and the goal to always go higher to satisfy consumers the best way we can,” said Romain Vet, VP Marketing of Focal Naim America.

Three product ranges have been developed, including vintage radios, transistor radios and boomboxes.

Vintage Radio (1930’s-1960’s): These radios from the early days of audio are true historical pieces. They will find their place in a chic, modern or vintage living room.

Transistor Radio (1970’s): The Transistor, with its Bluetooth connectivity and 12 hours of autonomous battery life, would make the perfect partner for a chic picnic.

Boombox (1980’s): A true icon from the 80’s, the modernized Boombox keeps all the original features from the era – cassette player and FM radio. In addition, Bluetooth connectivity and a 20-hour rechargeable battery will let you enjoy your favorite playlists all day long.

These are unique products and once sold will not be available again. The Vintage and Transistor Radios will be available immediately, with the Boomboxes available late 2021. Price for each is $1,200 USD and $1,560 CAD with a two-year warranty.
