16.5cm (6�'') 2-way component kit
Equipped with the flax cone, the woofers from the ps 165 fe kit deliver a powerful (140-watt) natural sound without colouration. In addition, the tmd (tuned mass damper) surround they incorporate stabilises the surround to achieve better control, and even greater neutrality and linearity.
The �m�-profile inverted dome tam tweeters included in the kit offer a wider diffusion angle and greater sound definition, without directionality. Thanks to their tilted mounting, they are easy to install in the vehicle. A compact, pre-cabled audiophile crossover completes this kit. Finally, with its engraved aluminium basket and meticulous finishes, ps 165 fe combines style, discretion and modernity for a premium system.
The flax cone, expressive and natural
This flax cone has been exclusively made in france by focal since 2013. With its original design, it is 100% geared towards acoustic performance. This sandwich cone is formed of a flax fibre core placed between two thin sheets of glass fibre. Flax is a fibre with the unique ability to reproduce a very natural sound without colouration, with a rich reproduction in the midrange and clear bass strokes. Its lightness offers great dynamics, while its rigidity sustains the bass and provides good damping to deliver a faithful listening experience. Flax fibre is twice as light as glass fibre as it is hollow. Its very low elasticity makes it ideal for increasing the flexural rigidity module of a sandwich structure.
The tam tweeter
Made in france in the focal workshops, the tam tweeter stands out for its many qualities, particularly in terms of wide-angle diffusion, beneficial for in-car environments characterised by �off-axis� listening. Comprising a cone that is an aluminium/magnesium �m�-profile inverted dome, this tweeter unites an impressive array of cutting-edge focal technologies to reproduce a faultless harmonic balance and highly-detailed treble.
The tmd surround
A patented focal technology, the tmd surround makes an appearance on all speaker drivers in the flax evo line, playing a key role in the reproduction and purity of the midranges as well as in the elimination of acoustic distortion, particularly when listening at high volumes.
