The fourth generation of K2 Power kits, with their emblematic aramid fibre cone, remain true to the precious and distinctive K2 DNA. The speaker drivers combine performance, power and style, whilst including patented innovations to deliver the very best. Designed, developed and manufactured in the Focal workshops in France, the 2-way component kit ES 165 KE takes in-car listening to another level.

Composed of two 6 1/2” (165mm) woofers and two TKME tweeters, the ES 165 KE kit is a compact, easy-to-install system.

The speaker drivers’ K2 cones diffuse super dynamic, razor-sharp sound. Born from Focal’s expertise in all things acoustic, they combine the assets of lightness, rigidity and damping, all prerequisites of a good speaker driver.

The inverted dome TKME tweeters also feature an aramid fibre dome. Their exclusive ‘M’-shaped profile helps to improve control of cone deformation and to reproduce the high frequencies smoothly and accurately. The tweeters can be mounted in different ways: in the factory locations, flush or on angled brackets, for all-encompassing installation options.

The kit is supplied with aluminium grilles.

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.

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.

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.

All the components used for the K2 Power crossovers have been specially selected and optimised to better control the effects of heat dissipation. These components are essential for managing the various channels and the soundstage reliably and efficiently.
