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.
