Frequently Asked Questions about Access 165AS3


What technical feature distinguishes the Focal Access 165AS3 Speaker Set?

The Focal Access 165AS3 Speaker Set is particularly highlighted by its aluminum inverted dome in the tweeters and the separate Crossover with 12 dB/octave. The tweeters have an adjustable level control in three positions (-3/0/+3 dB), allowing for individual adjustment. The nominal power of the system is 80 watts, while the maximum load capacity is 160 watts. The sensitivity is rated at 90 dB, measured at 2.83 V/1 m. The frequency response of the set ranges from 55 Hz to 20 kHz, covering a wide sound spectrum and significantly enhancing sound quality.

What is the installation depth of the Focal Access 165AS3 speaker?

The installation depth of the Focal Access 165AS3 is 62.9 mm. This is a crucial aspect for installation, as this depth determines in which vehicle doors or panels the speaker can be installed. The exact depth is essential to avoid interference with internal vehicle components. At 62.9 mm, the speaker remains relatively compact while still accommodating powerful components like the 85 mm magnet without exceeding the available space. This compactness while maintaining performance is an advantage when installing in the often cramped conditions of modern vehicles.

What frequency spectrum does the Focal Access 165AS3 cover?

The Focal Access 165AS3 Speaker Set offers a frequency response of 55 Hz to 20 kHz. This means that deep bass as well as high frequencies can be reproduced clearly and distinctly, providing a comprehensive and detailed sound experience. The frequency range is particularly important if you want to install a demanding audiophile setup in your car. By combining the 165 mm woofers with 80 mm midrange drivers, the deep to mid frequencies can be effectively covered, while the aluminum inverted dome tweeters are responsible for the high frequencies.

How does the adjustable tweeter level affect the sound quality of the Focal Access 165AS3?

The adjustable tweeter level of the Focal Access 165AS3, which can be set at -3/0/+3 dB, allows you to adjust the sound balance to your personal listening preference. This is especially important when the acoustic properties of your vehicle change (for example, due to additional soundproofing materials or varying ambient volumes). Especially if you enjoy listening to music at high volumes, the 3-position switch offers advantages: you can boost or reduce high frequencies as needed to ensure that sound reproduction is always optimal without compromising sound fidelity.

What advantages do the separate crossovers of the Focal Access 165AS3 offer?

The separate crossovers of the Focal Access 165AS3, which operate with a slope of 12 dB/octave, are a key element for clear sound separation between the different speaker units. By dividing the frequencies among the tweeter, midrange, and woofer, it ensures that each sound source receives only the optimal frequencies for it. This technology minimizes intermodulation distortion and results in a clean, balanced sound image. That each speaker unit operates only within its ideal frequency range not only improves overall sound quality but also protects the speakers from frequency overloads that could lead to distortion.

How do the technical parameters of the Focal Access 165AS3 affect performance?

The performance of the Focal Access 165AS3 is defined by various technical parameters: The nominal power of 80 watts provides a good balance between volume and distortion, while a maximum power of 160 watts ensures strong, deep bass and clear highs. The voice coil diameter of 25 mm and the voice coil height of 15 mm play an important role in the response speed and linearity of the diaphragm movements. These specifications support the acoustic accuracy and efficiency of the speaker and help enable powerful and precise sound reproduction that remains consistent even at high volumes.

What challenges might arise during the installation of the Focal Access 165AS3?

The installation of the Focal Access 165AS3 can be challenging due to the installation dimensions and specific technical knowledge required. The installation depth of 62.9 mm and the diameters of the woofers (165 mm) and midrange drivers (80 mm) require precise fitting work, depending on the vehicle doors and the interior trim of the respective car. Before installation, you should check the installation dimensions of your vehicle to determine if the set can be installed without major modifications. This Speaker Set is designed to replace existing components and requires a basic understanding of vehicle electronics for the correct connection and setup of the crossovers.

Why is the aluminum inverted dome in the Focal Access 165AS3 important?

The aluminum inverted dome of the tweeter in the Focal Access 165AS3 is crucial for the precise reproduction of high frequencies. Aluminum has the advantage of being both lightweight and stiff, which minimizes distortion during fast sound impulses and allows for a very detailed sound image. The inverted dome shape also improves the dispersion characteristics of the highs and ensures that the sound is evenly distributed, which is important in the vehicle interior to create a balanced listening experience. This design leads to improved directivity and a clearer, more detailed transmission of the upper frequency ranges, positively affecting overall dynamics and resolution.

What is the sensitivity of the Focal Access 165AS3 and why is it important?

The sensitivity of the Focal Access 165AS3 is 90 dB (2.83 V/1 m). This is a measure of how efficiently a speaker converts electrical power into acoustic power. A higher sensitivity rating means that the speaker plays louder with the same amplifier power. This is particularly important for use in vehicles, as the available amplifier power is often limited. A sensitivity of 90 dB provides a good balance between volume and amplifier unit. This is important for users who want to set up a clear and loud sound in their car without necessarily having to use a powerful external amplifier.

How much power does the Focal Access 165AS3 Speaker Set support?

The Focal Access 165AS3 Speaker Set is designed for a nominal power of 80 watts, while the maximum continuous power handling is 160 watts. The nominal power indicates how much electrical power can be continuously supplied without damaging the speaker, while the maximum power represents the upper limit that the system can handle in the short term. This power range makes the set flexible enough to be integrated into both standard and significantly more powerful audio setups, ensuring stable high volumes and clear audio output. These specifications provide the possibility of integration into various audio systems with different power characteristics.
