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.

OPTIMIZED FILTERS

A high-performance soundstage

Every element of a loudspeaker is important. Our engineers focus on every component, including the crossovers. Crossovers provide each loudspeaker with a signal that enables it to work at its best in the frequency range for which it is designed. For K2 Power kits, all crossover components have been specifically selected and optimized to better control heat dissipation effects, and manage channels and soundstage with reliability and performance.

ES 165 K2E | 6.5″ (165mm) 2-Way Component Kit – Focal K2 Power Series

Power Refined. Detail Redefined.

The Focal ES 165 K2E represents the pinnacle of acoustic engineering within the fourth-generation K2 Power Series — built for those who demand uncompromising precision, musical energy, and pure listening emotion.
Handcrafted in France, this 6.5″ 2-way component kit embodies the K2 Power philosophy: powerful performance, accurate dynamics, and exceptional reliability, all wrapped in a sleek, premium design.

K2 DNA – Dynamic and Distinctive

At the core of the ES 165 K2E lies Focal’s signature aramid fibre K2 cone, a tri-layer sandwich construction engineered for the perfect balance of rigidity, damping, and lightness.
The result is unmistakable: fast, accurate transients, deep midbass authority, and an emotional connection to your music that feels live, immediate, and vibrant.

Acoustic Control Through Innovation

Every element of this system has been precision-tuned to elevate performance:

  • The patented TMD® (Tuned Mass Damper) surround ensures low distortion and optimal cone stability.

  • A progressive-profile spider enhances linear excursion and control under high power.

  • The vented voice coil system improves thermal efficiency for consistent output, even during extended listening sessions.

Combined, these technologies produce tight, articulate sound with stunning accuracy at any volume.

TKME Tweeter – Precision at the Top End

Focal’s latest TKME tweeter features an inverted M-profile dome made from the same K2 composite as the cone.
This construction provides seamless tonal coherence across frequencies, while its wider dispersion pattern creates an expansive, natural soundstage.
Flexible installation options include flush, angled, or factory-location mounting, giving installers maximum versatility.

Advanced Crossover for Total Tuning Control

The ES 165 K2E includes a bi-amplifiable audiophile-grade crossover network, allowing for detailed tuning and optimisation of the system.
Selectable settings (0 / +3 / –3 dB/oct) enable fine tonal balancing to suit any vehicle acoustic environment — from subtle studio clarity to dynamic live performance energy.

Unmistakably Focal. Unquestionably K2.

The ES 165 K2E is more than a speaker kit — it’s a statement of performance and craftsmanship. Designed for purists and professionals alike, it delivers the kind of sonic depth and musical engagement that only Focal’s K2 Power Series can achieve.

Focal ES 165 K2E – Pure Energy. Pure Emotion. Pure Focal.
