Design Ideologies
Compact and robust, the EC165KE audio kit is composed of two 6.5″ woofers with coaxial tweeters. It is equipped with Focal’s aramid fiber membrane. A heritage of our acoustic know-how, this iconic yellow membrane combines lightness, rigidity, damping, the ideal characteristics for obtaining a good loudspeaker. The result is a faithful, dynamic and perfectly defined sound.
Design Features
The rich heritage of this astute company, together with its ever-increasing technical acumen; is conducive to these components featuring a vast array of impressive design ideologies and latest technological advancements.
The K2 Sandwich Cone
The aramid fibre cone inherits much 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 three critical 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 from Focal. This surround has a profile that’s specially designed to control and combat the effect of resonance and reduce the distortion associated with cone deformation. This is conducive to every K2 cone outputting sound that’s perfectly defined and ultra realistic.
TKME Tweeter Design
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.
Superb Linearity And Precision
The progressive spider on the K2 Power speaker drivers is built around a progressive section to reproduce all the impact of the bass and increase the linearity, precision and dynamics of the sound.
Increased Pressure Levels
The Radial VC cooling system for the speaker driver coil expels hot air from the coil towards the bottom of the motor through multiple holes. This improves control over the coil temperature, limiting the effects of heat compression and improving reliability. This improves the dynamics of the speaker driver and generates a powerful sound.
