Technologies

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.

TAM TWEETER

Wide diffusion angle

Membrane shape and materials are essential for high-fidelity reproduction. Focal engineers have designed the TAM tweeter. Manufactured in our workshops in France, it boasts a number of advantages, particularly in terms of wide-angle diffusion. Comprising an aluminum/magnesium inverted dome cone with an “M” profile for even greater rigidity, it delivers flawless harmonic balance and detailed treble. The presence of a decompression chamber limits disturbances caused by rear waves, for even greater sonic clarity.

FLAX MEMBRANE

Purity and precision of sound

As the key component of a loudspeaker, the membrane is at the heart of our acoustic engineers’ research. After more than five years of research and development, in 2013 Focal unveiled an exclusive membrane made from flax. Patented, this Flax cone is a sandwich made of very high quality French flax fibre placed between two thin sheets of glass fibre. It satisfies all the criteria of a high-fidelity membrane: lightness to offer good dynamics, rigidity to hold the bass and damping to deliver a neutral, natural, uncolored sound. It is an emblematic Focal innovation in many hi-fi products.

PS 165 F3E | 3-Way Component Speaker Kit (165mm) – Focal Flax Evo Series

Ultimate Sound Precision. Signature Focal Power.

The Focal PS 165 F3E is the definitive expression of the Flax Evo Series — a 3-way component system that merges Focal’s most advanced acoustic technologies for an unparalleled in-car sound experience. Combining Flax cone woofers, a dedicated midrange, and TAM tweeters, it delivers a sound that’s incredibly detailed, dynamic, and emotionally engaging.

Developed and manufactured in France, this high-performance kit embodies Focal’s pursuit of natural tonal balance, high output, and uncompromising clarity.


Flax Cone – Natural. Dynamic. Refined.

At the core of the PS 165 F3E lies Focal’s patented Flax cone technology. Crafted from flax fibre sandwiched between two layers of glass fibre, this lightweight yet rigid structure ensures:

  • Natural, uncoloured sound reproduction

  • Powerful, controlled bass

  • Rich and expressive midrange

  • Exceptional damping for distortion-free playback

Flax fibre’s hollow structure is twice as light as glass fibre, providing incredible transient response and dynamic realism that feels effortlessly musical.


TMD Surround – Perfect Control, Seamless Response

Each woofer and midrange in the PS 165 F3E uses Focal’s TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) surround – a patented technology that stabilises the cone’s movement and reduces distortion across the midrange frequencies.

This ensures linear response, superior tonal balance, and enhanced bass control, even at high playback levels. The result is a sound that’s tight, accurate, and beautifully balanced throughout the frequency range.


TAM Tweeter – Wide, Detailed, and Immersive

The ‘M’-profile aluminium/magnesium TAM tweeters, made in France by Focal, provide crystal-clear treble with exceptional dispersion. Their wide diffusion angle ensures every note reaches the listener with clarity and precision, even off-axis.

  • Extended high-frequency detail

  • Natural tonality without harshness

  • Easy angled mounting for optimal imaging

This combination produces an open, three-dimensional soundstage that faithfully recreates the artist’s intent.


Precision Crossover. Complete Control.

The audiophile-grade crossover supplied with the PS 165 F3E offers fine adjustment options for both tweeter and midrange levels, allowing precise tailoring to your system and vehicle acoustics. It ensures seamless integration between the drivers for perfect phase alignment and frequency balance.


Elegant Craftsmanship. Enduring Performance.

From the engraved aluminium baskets to the refined, minimalist design, every detail reflects Focal’s uncompromising standards in engineering and style. Despite its complexity, the PS 165 F3E installs easily in most vehicles, thanks to its compact midrange and flexible mounting options.

The system delivers deep, sustained bass, smooth mids, and refined treble — all with the musical warmth and precision that define the Focal brand.


Focal Flax Evo – The Natural Sound Revolution

The PS 165 F3E represents the pinnacle of Focal’s Flax Evo engineering — an exquisite blend of technology, musicality, and craftsmanship. Designed for those who demand studio-grade clarity in every journey, it delivers true-to-life sound with effortless precision and depth.
