Focal Mu-so Hekla brings a luxury, no-compromise approach to the soundbar category, pairing premium build quality with modern streaming convenience. Housed in a robust metal chassis and weighing around 34 lbs (about 15.4 kg), it feels every bit as substantial as it looks. A standout volume knob sits front and center, doubling as an intuitive control to switch between inputs and quickly pause playback, so you can manage your setup without hunting for a remote.
Connectivity is designed for today’s living rooms. The soundbar hooks up to your TV via HDMI eARC for high-quality, low-latency audio and offers an optical Toslink input for additional sources. There are no analog inputs, signaling a clean, digital-first design focused on performance and simplicity. Wireless support is comprehensive: Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi 6 are on board, enabling fast, stable connections and seamless streaming around the home.
For music lovers, the Mu-so Hekla plays nicely with all the major platforms. It supports Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Cast for effortless multi-room audio, plus Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect for direct, high-quality streaming from your favorite apps. Whether you’re queuing up playlists, casting from a smartphone, or syncing sound across multiple rooms, it fits neatly into a modern, app-driven lifestyle.
Positioned firmly in the high-end segment, the Focal Mu-so Hekla is slated to launch in Europe in the first quarter of 2026 at €3,300. It’s crafted for discerning listeners who want a premium soundbar that blends refined design, straightforward controls, and wide-ranging streaming support. For those planning a living room upgrade, this model promises a sleek, future-ready centerpiece. More details are available on the official product page.
