Frequently Asked Questions about Flax Evo PS165F3E


What are the specific features of the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E Speaker Set?

The Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E is a 6.5-inch Speaker Set equipped with a Flax sandwich membrane and a TMD surround. It includes a TAM Tweeter, which is designed as an Al/Mg M-Profile Inverted Dome Tweeter. The frequency response of the speaker ranges from 60 Hz to 28 kHz, meaning it reproduces both low and high frequencies with precision. The nominal impedance is 4 Ohm and the sensitivity is 90.5 dB at 2.83 V/1 m. The nominal power handling of the set is 80 W RMS, while the maximum power handling is 160 W. Additionally, the Speaker Set features an adjustable high-frequency level and comes with speaker grilles.

What is the frequency response of the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E and what does it mean for sound?

The frequency response of the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E Speaker Set extends from 60 Hz to 28 kHz. This means that the speaker is capable of covering both deep bass frequencies at 60 Hz and very high frequencies up to 28 kHz. Such a frequency range ensures that music and audio content can be reproduced across a wide spectrum, encompassing both deep bass and detailed highs. Especially if you enjoy listening to music at high volumes, you can enjoy the full range without certain frequency areas being missing or overemphasized. This is particularly beneficial for music genres with large dynamic ranges.

What materials are used in the Flax Evo PS165F3E Speaker Set?

The Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E Speaker Set uses high-quality materials, including a Flax sandwich membrane. This membrane structure provides a combination of lightness and strength, resulting in precise and dynamic sound reproduction. The TMD surround ensures high damping and stability of the membrane movement, minimizing distortion. The tweeter is made of aluminum and magnesium (Al/Mg) and uses an inverted M-profile, optimizing high-frequency reproduction. This choice of materials contributes to optimal sound quality and an aesthetically pleasing design suitable for use in vehicles as well as stationary systems.

What are the installation dimensions of the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E speaker?

The Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E offers specific installation dimensions that are crucial for seamless integration into numerous vehicles. The woofer has a diameter of 165 mm with a mounting depth of 77 mm and a mounting diameter of 144 mm. The midrange driver has a mounting depth of 33.5 mm with a diameter of 80 mm and a mounting diameter of 74 mm. These dimensions are important to consider to ensure that the Speaker Set fits properly and can unleash its acoustic performance without hindrance. So, if you want to check whether the Speaker Set fits in your vehicle, these measurements are essential.

How is the TAM tweeter in the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E adjusted?

The TAM tweeter in the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E is technically designed as an inverted dome tweeter with an M-profile made of aluminum/magnesium, which allows for excellent high-frequency reproduction. This tweeter features a variable high-frequency level function that allows you to adjust the high-frequency reproduction to your specific listening preferences and the acoustic environment in the vehicle. By lowering the high-frequency level, you can regulate the balance and clarity of the highs according to your personal music taste and sound environment. This adaptability ensures that even discerning listeners can experience a sonically balanced reproduction in the car or at home.

What type of surround is used in the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E and why?

The Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E uses a specially developed TMD surround. This surround is designed to efficiently dampen membrane vibrations and minimize resonances. TMD stands for Tuned Mass Damper, a technique used not only in the audio world but also in demanding technical applications to control vibrations. By reducing unwanted movements of the membrane, the sound remains clear and uncolored. Therefore, the TMD surround enables precise reproduction of complex sound structures and ensures a harmonious and detailed sound image. This technology is particularly useful in vehicle environments where vibrations are ubiquitous.

What power handling does the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E Speaker Set offer?

The Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E Speaker Set offers a nominal power handling of 80 watts RMS and a maximum power handling of 160 watts. This means that the speaker can be continuously operated at a power of 80 watts without damage or functional impairments. During short-term power peaks, the speaker can handle up to 160 watts, which is useful if you enjoy listening to loud music. The ability to meet these power requirements ensures that both dynamic musical passages and high-energy audio reproductions can be played back smoothly and without loss of quality.

How does the sensitivity of the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E determine the sound?

The sensitivity of the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E Speaker Set is 90.5 dB (2.83 V/1 m). This specification describes how loud the speaker plays when powered with one watt. Higher sensitivity means more volume at the same power amplification, which is particularly advantageous in mobile applications where amplifier power may be limited. This sensitivity ensures that even with low amplifier power, sufficient volume is achieved. The value of 90.5 dB is considered very efficient, meaning there is always enough headroom for both quiet background music and loud party operation.

Who is the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E Speaker Set particularly suitable for?

The Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E Speaker Set is particularly suitable for music lovers who value detailed and precise sound reproduction both in the car and in their home system. Audiophiles, who want to explore the sound nuances of their recordings in detail, will find a perfect solution in this set through the use of Flax sandwich membranes and advanced tweeter technology. Thanks to the ability to lower the treble level and the high sensitivity, the set meets the needs of versatile listeners, from classical music to rock to electronic sounds, and can be easily installed in various vehicle models without compromising sound quality.

Are the Speaker Grilles included in the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E delivery?

Yes, the Speaker Grilles are included in the delivery of the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E Speaker Set. They not only protect the speaker membranes from mechanical damage and dust but also contribute to the aesthetic design by making the speaker set visually appealing and integrating it into the vehicle's interior. The grilles are precisely matched to the speakers and blend seamlessly into the existing vehicle environment. This not only preserves audio performance but also enhances the overall design of the vehicle's interior while keeping the sensitive components protected.
