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 K2S | 6.5″ (165mm) 2-Way Shallow-Mount Component Kit – Focal K2 Power Series

Compact Design. Uncompromised Power.

The Focal ES 165 K2S brings the full force of the K2 Power experience into tighter spaces — delivering reference-grade dynamics and precision in a slim, compact design.
Engineered and manufactured in France, this shallow-mount 6.5″ 2-way component kit embodies Focal’s uncompromising pursuit of performance, perfectly balancing depth, definition, and musical energy.


Pure K2 DNA – High Output, Zero Compromise

At its core lies Focal’s legendary aramid fibre K2 cone, recognised for its signature blend of rigidity, lightness, and damping.
This exclusive tri-layer structure ensures exceptional midbass control and fast, accurate transients — producing a sound that’s lively, expressive, and unmistakably Focal.

Despite its slim profile, the ES 165 K2S retains all the acoustic authority of the full-depth models — proof that compact design doesn’t mean compromise.


Advanced Acoustic Engineering

Every detail of the ES 165 K2S has been optimised to achieve high-fidelity performance in limited mounting spaces:

  • TMD® (Tuned Mass Damper) surround minimises distortion for smoother, more linear cone movement.

  • Progressive-profile spider enhances control and precision across the dynamic range.

  • Rigid aluminium chassis ensures stability, even under heavy load.

  • Vented voice coil system improves cooling and durability at high power levels.

This engineering synergy delivers accurate, controlled bass and articulate mids — even in demanding installations.


TKME Tweeter – Refined High Frequencies

The K2 M-profile inverted dome tweeter (TKME) delivers ultra-precise high-frequency reproduction with exceptional dispersion.
Constructed from the same aramid composite as the cone, it ensures perfect tonal consistency across the frequency range.
With three installation options (factory location, flush, or angled mounting) and an adjustable crossover (0 / +3 / –3 dB/oct), you can fine-tune your sound with precision.


Precision in Every Millimetre

Designed for performance where space is limited, the ES 165 K2S transforms factory locations into true high-fidelity sound systems. It’s the ideal solution for enthusiasts who demand K2 Power impact in a compact, installation-friendly form.
