Frequently Asked Questions about Flax Evo PS 165 FXE


What advantages does the Flax membrane in the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE speaker system offer?

The Flax membrane of the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE speaker system offers several advantages. Flax is a lightweight and stiff material that ensures an excellent balance between Damping and stiffness. This leads to clear and distortion-free sound reproduction, especially in the bass range. The material properties of flax allow for accurate reproduction of fine details in music, which is difficult to achieve with conventional membrane materials. Particularly in audiophile applications, where precision in sound is required, the flax membranes of the 2-way component system showcase their strengths. Overall, this contributes to a natural and dynamic sound profile.

How does the Tuned Mass Damper technology work in the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE?

The Tuned Mass Damper technology of the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE is designed to effectively reduce unwanted vibrations in the speaker system. This technology uses mass and Damping to stabilize specific resonance frequencies. By controlling unnecessary vibrations, a more precise membrane movement is enabled, resulting in clearer and more detailed sound. The integration of this technology into the 6.5-inch speaker system helps to provide the 2-way component system with a precise and pleasant sound profile, especially at high volumes, where conventional Damping techniques reach their limits.

What role does the integrated Crossover play in the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE?

The integrated Crossover of the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE is crucial for the sound quality of the speaker system. It separates the incoming audio signal at a defined frequency between the woofers and the tweeters. This is important to ensure that each driver element of the 2-way component system reproduces the frequency ranges for which it is optimally designed. This allows for a harmonious interaction between the various driver components, resulting in a balanced and clear sound profile. The frequency-dependent signal division thus helps to avoid interference and distortion in the sound spectrum.

What power does the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE speaker system have?

The Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE speaker system offers a nominal power of 80 watts RMS and a maximum power of 160 watts. These power values are a crucial factor for the sound dynamics and volume that the system can achieve. With a sensitivity of 90.5 dB, the speaker system can produce a remarkable volume even with moderate amplifier operation. The power capacity ensures that the 6.5-inch system operates precisely and controlled even under high demand, such as during loud music playback. The sound quality remains consistent and free from unwanted distortions.

What dimensions do I need to consider for the installation of the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE?

The installation dimensions of the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE are crucial for proper mounting. The woofer has a size of 165 mm and a mounting depth of 77 mm, which requires precise planning during installation. These dimensions are particularly important when the system is used in vehicle installations. The speaker must fit seamlessly into existing cutouts to ensure optimal performance. It is also advisable to consider the weight of 1350 g of the system to ensure proper fixation. Correct integration promotes sound reproduction and longevity of the speaker system.

What is the sensitivity of the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE and what does it mean for sound reproduction?

The sensitivity of the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE is 90.5 dB, which describes a significant level of sound pressure per watt of power consumption. Higher sensitivity means that the speaker operates more efficiently and can produce high sound pressure with lower amplifier power. This is particularly important in vehicles, where acoustic efficiency is crucial to achieve clear sound even at speeds with background noise. Especially if you enjoy listening to music loudly, high sensitivity is advantageous as it provides less distortion and clear sound even at high volumes.

How does the ferrite motor design affect the sound quality of the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE?

The ferrite motor design of the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE is crucial for the efficiency and performance of the speaker system. Ferrite is a strong, magnetically optimized material that ensures stable magnetic lines in speaker coils. This stability positively affects the movement accuracy of the diaphragm, which is essential for precise and undistorted sound. The use of a ferrite motor in this 6.5-inch speaker system supports efficient conversion of electrical energy into sound energy, resulting in clean and accurate sound reproduction that is particularly powerful and controlled in the bass range.

What frequency spectrum does the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE cover?

The Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE speaker system covers a frequency range of 55 Hz to 28 kHz, with a tolerance of +/- 3dB. This wide spectrum allows for the coverage of nearly all audible frequencies, ensuring a balanced sound reproduction. The 6.5-inch woofer is responsible for the lower frequencies, while the tweeter handles the higher frequency ranges. This distribution promotes a harmonious and detailed music playback, allowing the listener to clearly capture all nuances and details of the audio. The spectrum provides the foundation for an immersive sound experience.

How much does the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE speaker system weigh and how does this affect installation?

The Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE speaker system weighs a total of 1350 g, which must be taken into account during installation. The weight affects the securing and stability of the installation, especially when mounting in vehicles or walls. It is important to choose appropriate fasteners that can support the total weight of the system to ensure a durable and secure placement. A stable installation is crucial to minimize vibrations and not compromise sound quality, which in turn impacts the user experience. A balance must be found between mounting security and acoustic efficiency.

What does the nominal impedance of 4 Ohm mean for the operation of the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE?

The nominal impedance of the Focal Flax Evo PS 165 FXE of 4 Ohm means that the speaker should ideally be operated with amplifiers that support this impedance. A 4 Ohm impedance is typical for car speakers and is often chosen because it provides a balanced power requirement for powerful and efficient playback. Lower impedances make it easier for the amplifier to drive more current through the speaker, resulting in higher output power. This can lead to a more robust bass reproduction, provided the amplifier components are compatible with the impedance to ensure consistent power delivery.
