Frequently Asked Questions about Access 165AS


What are the performance specifications of the Focal Access 165AS Speaker Set?

The Focal Access 165AS Speaker Set offers a combined power output from the 165AS and the TN43. The 165AS has a rated power of 60 W and a maximum power of 120 W. It achieves a sensitivity of 91 dB at 2.83V/1m and has a nominal impedance of 4 Ohm. Additionally, the TN43 provides a rated power of 15 W with a maximum power of 100 W and a higher sensitivity of 94 dB. Together, they create a balanced sound profile, ideal for detailed sound that ensures high-quality music enjoyment in the vehicle. The simultaneous use of their individual characteristics maximizes sound reproduction.

What are the technical features of the 165AS speaker?

The 165AS from Focal impresses with a conceptual highlight in the form of a fiberglass cone and a butyl surround, optimized with a 25 mm high voice coil on a Kapton carrier. This speaker has two copper layers that, in combination with an Xmax of ± 2.5 mm, accurately reproduce balanced frequency ranges. With a flux density of 1 T and a massive magnet with a diameter of 85 mm and a height of 15 mm, the 165AS delivers stable and deep sound. The gap height is 5 mm, and the delivery weight is 0.85 kg, making it a solid component of the set.

What distinguishes the TN43 Tweeter in the Focal 165AS?

The TN43 Tweeter in the Focal Access 165AS set is particularly known for its aluminum cone construction, which offers sound precision. It features a 20 mm voice coil on a Kapton carrier and two copper layers to carefully project high frequencies. With only 2.5 mm gap height and a lightweight net weight of 60 g, it contributes to the efficiency of this tweeter. As a result, it achieves a remarkable sensitivity of 94 dB, making it particularly suitable for reproducing crystal-clear highs across a wide frequency spectrum. This allows for the precise presentation of fine musical details.

What specific sound technologies are integrated into the Focal Access 165AS set?

The Focal Access 165AS Speaker Set implements innovative sound technologies such as the fiberglass cone and the butyl surround of the 165AS for improved sound resonance and clarity. The voice coils, made on Kapton carriers with two layers of copper wire, enable exceptional sound performance. The use of an aluminum cone in the TN43 Tweeter enhances high frequencies. Additionally, optimized magnet and flux densities: 1 T for the 165AS ensures powerful sound representation, while the tweeter guarantees precise highs with its oscillation capability. Overall, these features are exceptional for powerful and detailed sound reproduction.

What is the sound performance of the Focal Access 165AS speaker in the car?

The Focal Access 165AS Speaker Set, including the 165AS and the TN43, offers an excellent sound mode in the vehicle with its acoustic characteristics. The 165AS, with a frequency coverage range at 91 dB sensitivity and a flux density of 1 T, significantly upgrades the mid to low frequency range. The TN43 complements the setup with 94 dB sensitivity, representing high frequencies extremely realistically. This leads to an impressive, precise sound representation in the vehicle interior and satisfies high demands for acoustic diversity. Especially if you enjoy listening to music loudly, a balanced tuning of the tweeter and woofer is crucial.

How do I install the Focal Access 165AS Speaker Set in the car?

Installing the Focal Access 165AS Speaker Set requires precise work regarding the unique dimensions. The 165AS speaker, with its 6.5-inch (16.5 cm) sound plate, weighs 0.85 kg and requires a mounting option that optimally utilizes its depth and the magnet dimensions of 85 mm x 15 mm. Regarding dimensional compatibility, the respective compatibility with vehicle types can be flexible, but the set should ideally be installed in vehicles with standard 16.5 cm cutouts. It is essential to ensure that the installation conditions are adjusted to the accurate impedance and the acoustic pairing of the components.

How does the voice coil design affect the sound of the 165AS?

The voice coil of the Focal 165AS Speaker Set, consisting of a 25 mm copper-Kapton carrier with two copper layers, significantly contributes to sound quality. The higher voice coil height of 10 mm combined with Kapton allows for fine vibrations for high-class effects. This technical specification allows for precise processing of particularly subtle tones and deep bass applications. The cone made of fiberglass harmonizes with the elastic butyl surround, ensuring optimal insulation and vibration efficiency. The design concept enhances the nuanced details, particularly contributing to a rich sound experience.

What role does the flux density of the 165AS play?

The flux density of the Focal 165AS Speaker is 1 T and represents a crucial component for sound quality. The correlation to the 85 mm diameter magnet optimizes the drive of the speaker. A high-density magnetic flux density improves resolution in the sub-spectrum. This significant flux density directly influences the dynamic range and clarity of frequency reproductions. It avoids distortions in sound levels and enables cleanly controlled dynamics from mid-frequency tones to deep keynotes, which significantly contribute to the overall sound of the set. Thus, the flux density is essential for the emission of a uniform, clear acoustic image.

How does the butyl surround fit into the sound of the Focal 165AS?

In the Focal 165AS speaker system, the butyl surround ensures improved sound performance and durability. The outstanding property of butyl is its damping capacity, which consistently produces uniform frequency reproductions, particularly in the bass range. In addition to stability, it offers flexible control and absorbs unwanted resonances that other surround materials like foam or rubber lack. With a focus on uniform vibration from the diaphragm to the butyl, a linear frequency response is achieved. You get resonance-free potential in the playback of music tracks, making the Focal 165AS powerful and precise in application.

What technical significance does the Kapton carrier have in the Focal 165AS?

The Kapton carrier in the Focal 165AS Speaker Set is crucial for the integration of the voice coil and for optimizing thermal conductivity under heavy musical stress. Located at the center of each driver, it optimally supports the voice coil with its heat-resistant qualities. The use of Kapton reduces distortions that could occur due to heat-induced expansions and maintains the coherent movement of the diaphragms. The flexible yet stable carrier with two copper layers supports transparent sound reproduction. Kapton ensures high reliability in demanding speaker situations and is formative for the popular sound quality of the Focal 165AS Set.
