Frequently Asked Questions about Flax Evo PS165F3E


How does the Flax Sandwich Membrane improve the sound of the Flax Evo PS165F3E?

The Flax Sandwich Membrane in the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E is crucial for its outstanding sound reproduction. It consists of a layer of flax embedded between two thin layers of fiberglass. This construction provides an ideal combination of stiffness, lightness, and damping, which is essential for clear and precise audio playback. Flax is an organic material that minimizes resonances, allowing for a particularly neutral sound characteristic. The membrane responds accurately to electrical signals and helps reduce distortion, making the Flax Evo PS165F3E an ideal listening experience for critical listeners.

What role does the TMD surround play in the Flax Evo PS165F3E?

The TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) surround in the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E is a groundbreaking innovation that reduces vibrations and ensures outstanding sound performance. This special surround minimizes the influence of parasitic vibrations that can occur in conventional surrounds. Through its sophisticated geometric design, the TMD surrounds help maintain linear movement of the voice coil without distortion. The tuning of the resonance frequency significantly improves clarity in the midrange, ensuring that voices and instruments are reproduced authentically. The result is an extremely coherent and detailed listening experience.

How does the TAM tweeter of the Flax Evo PS165F3E affect sound quality?

The TAM tweeter in the Flax Evo PS165F3E significantly contributes to the extremely fine frequency resolution of the speaker system. The Al/Mg M-Profile Inverted Dome tweeter provides exceptional precision and clarity in the high-frequency range. This design utilizes an aluminum-magnesium alloy that is not only lightweight but also stiff, allowing it to handle high-frequency tones effortlessly. The inverted dome optimizes the radiation pattern and provides the listener with a wide and detailed soundstage. With an adjustable high-frequency level, it also offers adaptability for different listening environments without losing the natural sound character.

What frequency ranges does the Flax Evo PS165F3E cover?

The Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E impresses with a comprehensive frequency response ranging from 60 Hz to 28 kHz. This means that both deep bass and high treble are reproduced accurately and without distortion. The lower frequency range of 60 Hz allows for powerful, deep tones, ideal for drums and bass guitar. The upper cutoff frequency of 28 kHz provides detailed reproduction of the highs, which is particularly beneficial for delicate tonal nuances of string instruments and female voices. The combination of this wide spectrum ensures a rich and immersive listening experience that covers all music genres.

How do you install the Flax Evo PS165F3E Speaker Set in the car?

To install the Focal Flax Evo PS165F3E in the car, first check the mounting diameters and depths. The woofer has a mounting diameter of 144 mm and a mounting depth of 77 mm, while the midrange has a mounting diameter of 74 mm and a depth of 33.5 mm. Ensuring a proper fit in the existing speaker cutouts is crucial. If the dimensions fit, connect the wiring and use the included Speaker Grilles for optimal protection and sound. Make sure that no parts obstruct the membranes or surrounds to ensure full movement for the best sound.

What is the impedance of the Flax Evo PS165F3E and why is it important?

The Flax Evo PS165F3E has a nominal impedance of 4 Ohms. This specification is important as it determines the compatibility of the speaker with amplifiers. The 4 Ohm impedance allows for higher current flow for stronger output power, which usually results in higher volume. This is essential for planning audio systems to ensure that the amplifiers match the impedance requirements of the speaker without overheating or causing damage. An amplifier designed for 4 Ohms delivers optimal sound and efficiency when driving the PS165F3E system.

What power can the Flax Evo PS165F3E handle?

The Flax Evo PS165F3E is rated for a nominal power handling of 80 Wrms and a maximum power handling of 160 W. These specifications indicate what continuous power the speaker can withstand and what peak loads it can handle. 80 Wrms ensures constant and distortion-free playback at moderate volumes, ideal for everyday use. The maximum power handling of 160 W means that short volume peaks are possible without damaging the speaker, which is particularly helpful in dynamic passages like film music or intense rock music that requires a powerful and rich sound.

What is the sensitivity of the Flax Evo PS165F3E and what does it mean?

The sensitivity of the Flax Evo PS165F3E is specified at 90.5 dB (2.83V/1m). This specification describes the sound level output of the speaker in decibels at a certain electrical input power, measured one meter away. A higher sensitivity means that the speaker plays louder with less power input. With 90.5 dB, the PS165F3E Set is among the more efficient speakers, allowing for high volume even with low power amplification. This is beneficial for improved dynamics and clarity in the sound image, especially with low-powered amplifiers.

What is the difference between nominal power handling and maximum power handling for the Flax Evo PS165F3E?

For speakers like the Flax Evo PS165F3E, nominal power handling and maximum power handling differ significantly. The nominal power handling of 80 Wrms indicates the constant power the speaker can withstand over a longer period without damage. This specification is essential for everyday use, where distortion-free playback is required. In contrast, the maximum power handling of 160 W describes the peak power the speaker can handle for short bursts without sustaining damage. This characteristic is important for reproducing music with strong dynamic changes to ensure the highest sound quality.

What dimensions are important for the installation of the Flax Evo PS165F3E?

When installing the Flax Evo PS165F3E, the specific dimensions are crucial for proper mounting. The 165 mm woofer requires a cutout diameter of 144 mm and a depth of 77 mm, while the 80 mm midrange requires a cutout diameter of 74 mm and a depth of 33.5 mm. These dimensions are important to ensure that the speakers fit properly into the designated speaker cutouts and provide optimal sound. Fit issues can affect the sound image and cause damage to the vehicle's interior, making precise measurement and preparation essential.
