Overview

The ES 165 KX3 is a very complete kit offering remarkably extensive frequency response (45 Hz - 22 kHz). Its main advantages are the excellent power handling and the very realistic soundstage.

Composed of two 6½" (165 mm) woofers and two 3" (80 mm) mid-range speaker drivers with Kevlar® cones, it offers a very rich and dynamic mid-range and very low frequency response (45 Hz). The two bi-amped 'M'-shaped tweeters guarantee a precise high end with perfect definition.

This ES 165 KX3 is composed with two 6,5” woofers and two 3” speakers and includes aluminum and mesh grilles.

TMD Suspension

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.

Kevlar® Cone

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

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.

“Radical VC” Cooling

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.

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.

Optimized Crossover

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.
