Focal OD Stone 8
2-way outdoor speaker
With its sophisticated design and refined finishes, OD Stone 8 is the model of choice for enjoying Focal sound in your garden, on your terrace or by your pool. Benefiting from Focal know-how, the speaker integrates a bass-midrange driver with Iris IP cone and an inverted dome tweeter with "M" profile for high-quality sound reproduction. Thanks to its integrated transformer, OD Stone 8 is capable of covering large spaces without loss of power.
ADAPTED TO ITS ENVIRONMENT
The speaker is IP55 certified for protection against rain and dust intrusion. Its textured ‘rock’ effect finish also features an anti-UV treatment, for even greater adaptation to its environment.
UNIQUE FINISHES AND DESIGN
Shaped like a pebble, the outer surface has a textured, rock-like effect, for a unique mineral look. The two finishes - Basalt and Limestone - make this loudspeaker as discreet as it is refined.

Sound Quality
91/100
Bass
90/100
Single 8" Iris IP mid/bass driver delivers punchy, deep bass down to ~45 Hz per the review; reviewers call it 'punchy' and 'more than sufficient for outdoor settings.' Given the single 8" driver and outdoor enclosure, the bass is strong and authoritative for its class but not as powerful as dedicated indoor towers or subs.
Mid
93/100
Multiple review comments praise vocal clarity and immersive, loud presentation. The Iris IP cone and two-way design produce clear, present mids well suited to outdoor listening and voice-forward material.
Treble
91/100
1" aluminium M-shaped tweeter rated to 28 kHz; reviewers note 'crisp highs' and an impressive frequency response to 28 kHz. Treble is detailed and extended without reviewer complaints of harshness.
Soundstage Imaging
89/100
Reviewers describe the speaker as able to 'fill large outdoor spaces' and 'immersive' sound. As an outdoor two-way the imaging and staging are strong in open environments though not as tightly layered as premium indoor monitors.
Dynamics
90/100
Reviewers highlight the ability to play loud and deliver an engaging, punchy performance outdoors. Dynamics are lively with good macro impact for outdoor use; no listener reports of the speaker 'running out of steam.'

Build Quality
92/100
IP55 rating, aluminium grille and weatherproof Iris IP cone indicate robust outdoor construction. Review emphasis on outdoor-ready engineering and weather resistance supports a high build-quality score.
Features Connectivity
80/100
Passive speaker baseline applied. Specifications show 70/100V compatibility and recommended amp power, but no bi-wire, DSP or extra contour hardware listed — baseline passive score used.
Value for Money
86/100
At €849 and with Focal's signature sound, reviewers frame this as high-end outdoor performance. Price is relatively premium for outdoor speakers but justified by build, IP rating and sound quality per reviews.
