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 KX3E | 6.5″ (165mm) 3-Way Component Kit with FRAK Tweeter – Focal K2 Power Series

The Flagship of the K2 Power Legacy

The Focal ES 165 KX3E stands at the peak of the K2 Power series — a bold statement of acoustic mastery and French craftsmanship.
Designed, developed, and manufactured in Focal’s world-class Saint-Étienne workshops, this 6.5″ (165mm) 3-way component kit combines the brand’s most advanced cone, tweeter, and crossover technologies into a system engineered for absolute fidelity and dynamic precision.

Every element of the ES 165 KX3E reflects Focal’s pursuit of pure sound reproduction — from thunderous lows to crystalline highs that reveal every nuance of your music.


K2 Aramid Fibre Cone – Dynamic and Distortion-Free

At the heart of this exceptional system lies the K2 aramid fibre cone, a hallmark of the Focal sound signature.
Constructed from a multi-layer composite for optimal rigidity, lightness, and damping, it delivers the perfect balance between power and accuracy.
Expect deep, impactful bass and articulate midrange that breathes realism into every note.

This cone structure, combined with Focal’s TMD® (Tuned Mass Damper) surround, virtually eliminates distortion and maintains exceptional control even at high volumes.


FRAK Tweeter – Ultra-Realistic, Extended Treble

The inclusion of the FRAK tweeter, developed for Focal’s K2 Power M range, redefines treble reproduction.
Crafted from an aluminium/magnesium alloy with an exclusive ‘M’-profile inverted dome, it extends frequency response beyond 40 kHz for unprecedented harmonic precision.
The result: breathtaking detail, wide dispersion, and an open, three-dimensional soundstage that immerses you completely.

Three installation options — factory location, flush mount, or angled bracket — offer total flexibility for seamless integration.


Precision Engineering for Perfect Control

Every component in the ES 165 KX3E is designed for uncompromising acoustic stability and durability:

  • TMD® surround – reduces cone resonance for ultra-clean midrange.

  • Progressive-profile spider – ensures linear movement and accurate transient response.

  • Rigid aluminium frame – guarantees mechanical strength and minimal resonance.

  • Vented voice-coil system – improves cooling and power handling.

  • Engraved serial number – a mark of authenticity and craftsmanship.

Together, they form a sound platform capable of delivering studio-grade performance in your vehicle.


Audiophile-Grade Crossover – Total Tonal Control

The bi-amplifiable multi-setting crossover gives you full control of your system’s tuning.
With selectable levels (0 / +3 / –3 dB/oct), it allows precise adjustment of tweeter and midrange output to perfectly balance the soundstage to your vehicle’s acoustics.
This crossover flexibility enables professional-level system tuning and seamless amplifier integration.


Uncompromising Sound. Unmistakably Focal.

The Focal ES 165 KX3E embodies the essence of the K2 Power experience — performance, precision, and passion.
Every component is designed to transform your drive into a concert hall, with sound that is pure, powerful, and profoundly emotional.
