K2 SANDWICH MEMBRANE

Purity and precision of sound

The diaphragm, the key component of a loudspeaker, is at the heart of our acoustic engineers’ research. Shape and materials are essential for high-fidelity reproduction. In 1986, our teams unveiled an aramid fibre sandwich membrane, recognizable by its unique yellow color. It has been extensively renewed over the years, while retaining the characteristics that made it such a success. Today, it consists of an ultra-light foam core sandwiched between a layer of aramid fibre and a layer of glass fibre. It combines the three key factors of a loudspeaker membrane: rigidity, lightness and damping, for a precise, dynamic and uncolored sound.

TMD SUSPENSION

Stabilized surround, eliminates vibrations

While our engineers are experts in the development of exclusive diaphragms, they also innovate in all the components that make up the loudspeakers, such as the surround that connects the diaphragm to the frame, the performance of which must be mastered. Introduced in 2015, Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) technology with harmonic damping consists of the addition of finely positioned toroidal weights to stabilize the surround for even greater sonic neutrality. This technology enhances the midrange and the erratic behavior of the surround between 1 kHz and 2 kHz.

TWEETER TKME

Harmonic balance

As specialists in loudspeaker membranes, Focal’s acoustic engineers are constantly working on the creation of new cones, as well as on all associated components. Mounted on a highly resistant aluminum mounting, the TKME “M” profile tweeter extends the frequency response to 22 kHz, while further reducing distortion, for smooth, accurate high-frequency reproduction. Coupled with a push-pull motor based on IAL2 technology, it reaches very low resonance frequencies, for perfect harmonic balance.

EC 165 KE | 6.5″ (16.5cm) 2-Way Coaxial Kit – Focal K2 Power Series

Precision. Dynamics. Power – Redefined.

The Focal EC 165 KE is the latest evolution in the K2 Power series, a true showcase of French acoustic excellence.
Designed, developed, and hand-crafted in Focal’s Saint-Étienne workshops, this 2-way coaxial kit delivers the signature K2 soundpowerful, detailed, and harmonically rich.

With cutting-edge materials, patented technologies, and meticulous engineering, the EC 165 KE brings studio-grade dynamics to your in-car experience.


K2 Cone – The Heart of Performance

At the core lies Focal’s iconic aramid fibre K2 cone, a three-layer composite combining Kevlar® and glass fibres for unmatched rigidity and damping.
This unique design achieves a balanced, dynamic sound with deep, precise bass and a natural midrange. Every note is delivered with clarity, power, and control — the hallmark of the K2 Power line.


TMD Surround – Total Cone Control

Focal’s patented TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) surround stabilises the cone movement for ultra-low distortion and improved linearity, even at high SPL.
The result is cleaner midrange detail, greater neutrality, and a more fluid, natural sound reproduction at any volume.


‘M’-Profile Aramid Fibre Tweeter – Detailed & Refined

The ‘M’-profile inverted dome tweeter, crafted from aramid fibre, ensures wide dispersion, smooth frequency response, and precise high-frequency reproduction.
This design delivers open, spacious treble that enhances the soundstage and realism of every performance.


Engineered for Excellence

Every component of the EC 165 KE is built for audiophile-grade reliability and ease of installation.
From its non-magnetic aluminium frame and integrated terminal block to the progressive-profile spider and built-in 6 dB crossover, this kit combines rugged durability with exceptional acoustic control.
An engraved serial number verifies authenticity and craftsmanship — a mark of true Focal heritage.


The Essence of K2 Power

The Focal EC 165 KE embodies the K2 Power philosophy: precision engineering, premium materials, and pure musical emotion.
From the first note to full-throttle dynamics, this coaxial kit brings unrivalled energy, definition, and clarity to your drive.
