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.

Focal ES 165 KE | 6.5″

2-way coaxial kit 16.5 cm Speakers – K2 Power Series

The Essence of Power. The Art of Precision.

The Focal ES 165 KE stands at the forefront of the fourth-generation K2 Power Series, designed for those who demand uncompromising clarity, control, and musical impact.
Handcrafted in France by Focal’s expert engineers, this 6.5″ component kit merges high-output performance with audiophile-level detail, transforming every drive into an immersive, high-fidelity experience.

Pure K2 DNA – Dynamic, Detailed, and Distortion-Free

At its heart lies Focal’s iconic aramid fibre K2 cone, renowned for its balance of rigidity, lightness, and damping. This unique composition produces exceptional transient response, deep midbass authority, and remarkable accuracy across the frequency spectrum.
The result is a sound that’s vivid, controlled, and emotionally engaging — the hallmark of the K2 Power legacy.

Advanced Acoustic Engineering

Every component of the ES 165 KE is engineered to deliver sonic perfection.
The TMD® (Tuned Mass Damper) surround minimises distortion and stabilises cone motion for cleaner, more linear output, while the progressive-profile spider improves dynamic behaviour and transient precision.
A rigid aluminium chassis enhances stability and limits unwanted resonance, ensuring faithful reproduction of your music even at high volumes.

High-Definition Treble with TKME Tweeter

Focal’s latest-generation TKME tweeter features an inverted dome with M-profile geometry, combining wide dispersion with refined tonal accuracy.
Crafted from aramid fibre, it delivers smooth, extended highs with precise imaging — perfectly complementing the punch and energy of the K2 cone.
Installation flexibility is enhanced through multiple mounting options and a compact crossover network with 0 / +3 / –3 dB/oct adjustment for tailored tonal balance.

Engineered for Enthusiasts. Built for Performance.

The ES 165 KE redefines in-car audio precision with the unmistakable character of Focal’s K2 Power heritage — delivering depth, detail, and drive in every note.
This is not just a speaker kit; it’s an acoustic statement, built for those who hear — and feel — the difference.
