Focal ES165KX2 - ELITE K2 Power 6.5" 16.5cm 2-Way Component Speakers

6,5" TWO-WAY COMPONENT KIT

The ES 165 KX2 component kit is composed of two 6½" (165 mm) woofers with Kevlar® cones providing an extremely rich and punchy sound. The centre of the cone is equipped with a phase plug for improved sound dispersion around the vehicle.

The two 'M'-shaped aramid-fibre TKMX inverted dome tweeters are equipped with bi-amplified crossovers. This enables perfect control over the high end for providing very smooth treble with perfect definition.

Thanks to its excellent power handling, this kit is the reference product of the K2 Power range. It even won over the hearts of the experts when it was officially revealed at the CES in Las Vegas, and received the CES Innovation 2016 award.

The kit is supplied with aluminium and mesh grilles.

PRECISION AND DYNAMICS

The speaker drivers used for the K2 Power have been completely redesigned. Each component is the result of extensive research in acoustics to push back the limits of performance, of power and of precision! The K2 Power Kevlar® cone, a product of unique expertise Made In Focal, is to this day second to none. Composed of an ultra-light foam structure sandwiched between a thin layer of Kevlar® aramid fibres, and a layer of glass fibres, the K2 Power cone combines three key factors of quality acoustics:

• Rigidity
• Lightness
• Damping, for precise and dynamic sound.

NEW “M”-SHAPED TWEETER - FOR A SMOOTH HIGH END

The new K2 Power TKM tweeter features an exclusive “M”-shaped structure. This new-generation aramid-fibre inverted dome tweeter provides great precision in the very high end, and its combination with a “push-pull” motor with IAL2 technology extends the low end of the frequency response and provides extraordinary harmonic balance.

Radial VC cooling for higher SPL
The new Radial VC cooling system for speaker driver voice coils expels hot air from the voice coil towards the bottom of the magnet through 6 holes. This improves control over the voice coil temperature, limiting the effects of thermal compression and improving reliability. This significantly increases the efficiency of the speaker driver. It also improves dynamics and produces a more powerful sound.

Progressive spider profile Improved linearity and precision
The progressive spider profile of K2 Power speaker drivers is designed to provide a full-bodied sound at low levels and to increase linearity, precision and dynamic range.

An optimised crossover for improved reliability
The components used for the new K2 Power crossovers were selected specifically and optimised in order to improve control over the effects of heat dissipation. These components, which are fundamental to managing the various channels and for the soundstage, are now even more reliable.
