Focal ES165K2E

Details about the Focal ES165K2E

The ES 165 K2E system consists of two 6 1/2” (165mm) woofers with a K2 sandwich cone made of aramid fibre, a Focal innovation of renowned performance. Their high sensitivity allows them to produce an enveloping, powerful and dynamic sound. The central ogive ensures better sound dispersion within the vehicle, to significantly enhance the in-car listening experience.

The two TKME tweeters with the ‘M’-shaped inverted dome, also made of aramid fibre, are linked with bi-amplifiable audiophile crossovers. They ensure optimal control of the high frequencies, producing a smooth and perfectly defined treble. Hi-fi sound has arrived on board.

For optimal, flexible installation options, the tweeters can be mounted in one of three ways: in the factory location, flush-fitted or on angled brackets. The kit also includes aluminium grilles.

K2 SANDWICH CONE
The aramid fibre cone inherits all of Focal’s unique know-how. Composed of an ultralight foam core, sandwiched between a thin layer of aramid fibre and a layer of fibreglass, it combines 3 key factors when it comes to acoustics: rigidity, lightness and damping, for sound that is as precise and dynamic as it can get.

TMD® SURROUND
The speaker drivers benefit from TMD(Tuned Mass Damper) technology, a patented innovation. This surround has a special profile, designed to better control the effect of resonance and reduce the distortion associated with deformations of the cone. The midranges are perfectly defined and very realistic.

TKME TWEETER
The ‘M’-profile TKME tweeter extends the frequency response to 22 kHz with an even greater reduction of distortion, for smooth and precise diffusion in the high treble. Coupled with a ‘push-pull’ motor, based on IAL2 technology, it achieves very low resonance frequencies for perfect harmonic balance.

FRAK TWEETER
The ES 165 KX2E and ES 165 KX3E kits are equipped with Focal's ‘M’-shaped FRAK tweeter. A revolution in Car Audio, it combines aluminium and magnesium for good frequency lowering and superb damping. Its lightness helps it shine in the high treble
