The BETA 165-X from Gladen is a 6.5" (16.5cm) 2-way coaxial speaker that offers precise and natural sound reproduction. Equipped with a 165 mm mid-bass driver that uses a classic paper cone, it ensures clear audio playback in the midrange. The centrally placed 20 mm Tweeter provides uniform dispersion and stable spatial imaging. With its 3 Ohm impedance, the speaker is suitable for both factory radios and compact Amplifiers. The BETA 165-X represents an acoustic improvement over standard speakers and can be easily integrated into the vehicle.

The GLADEN BETA 165X is a 2-way coaxial speaker that enables precise and natural sound reproduction while being easy to integrate into the vehicle.

It represents an advancement over standard speakers and positions itself within the GLADEN range between Alpha and Gamma. The focus is on a balanced tuning and controlled acoustic performance in everyday use.

The 165 mm mid-bass driver works with a classic paper cone that is characterized by very good damping behavior.
It allows for clean, coloration-free playback in the midrange and, in conjunction with the drive and surround, provides a structured fundamental and bass range.

The coaxially arranged 20 mm Tweeter at the center of the mid-bass driver ensures uniform dispersion and a compact, point-like sound source.
This leads to homogeneous playback and stable spatial imaging, especially in typical installation situations in the vehicle.

Thanks to the tuned internal filtering, a clean transition between frequency ranges and a closed, balanced sound image is created.

With an impedance of 3 Ohm and high efficiency, the BETA 165X is designed for operation with factory radios as well as compact Amplifiers.
It offers a significant acoustic improvement over OEM systems and combines easy installation with noticeably enhanced sound quality.

The construction is designed for practical integration and allows for use in many vehicle-specific installation situations without additional components or complicated adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions about BETA 165-X

How does the Gladen BETA 165-X improve the sound quality of my vehicle?

The Gladen BETA 165-X improves the sound quality of your vehicle through precise and natural sound reproduction. With a 165 mm Mid-woofers and a classic paper cone, it offers clear and distortion-free audio playback. The coaxially arranged 20 mm Tweeter ensures even sound dispersion and stable spatial imaging. These features, combined with the tuned internal filtering, lead to a clean transition between frequency ranges and a balanced sound profile. The impedance of 3 Ohms also allows for efficient operation with factory radios and compact amplifiers, resulting in a significant improvement in your music's sound.

What are the dimensions of the Gladen BETA 165-X and how do they facilitate installation?

The Gladen BETA 165-X has a Mid-woofers with a diameter of 165 mm and a Tweeter with a diameter of 20 mm. These dimensions greatly facilitate installation, as they are compatible with many vehicle-specific mounting situations. This means that the speaker can be integrated into your vehicle without additional components or complicated modifications. The design is intended to be practical and easily fit into existing systems. This is particularly convenient for drivers looking for a simple yet effective way to enhance the sound quality in their vehicle.

What are the technical specifications of the Mid-woofers of the BETA 165-X?

The Mid-woofers of the Gladen BETA 165-X has the following technical specifications: It has a diameter of 165 mm and a power rating of 120 Watts peak power and 60 Watts RMS power. With an impedance of 3 Ohms, a free air resonance value (Fs) of 73 Hz, and an equivalent air volume (Vas) of 12 liters, it delivers excellent sound results. Other parameters include Re at 2.62 Ohms, Qms at 3.97, Qes at 0.87, Qts at 0.72, and an effective diaphragm area of 134.8 cm². Additionally, the moving mass (Mms) is 9.7 g, contributing to precise sound.

What is the diaphragm of the Tweeter in the Gladen BETA 165-X like?

The diaphragm of the Tweeter in the Gladen BETA 165-X is made of silk material. This silk-like construction ensures a smooth and natural sound reproduction, minimizing distortion and allowing for brilliant high frequencies. With a diameter of 20 mm and a voice coil, the Tweeter provides comprehensive radiation and precise spatial imaging. The integration of the Tweeter coaxially into the Mid-woofers further contributes to a uniform sound field and creates a harmonious sound atmosphere, especially with music pieces featuring demanding highs.

What power does the BETA 165-X from Gladen offer?

The BETA 165-X from Gladen offers a maximum power of 120 watts and a continuous nominal power of 60 watts. These power specifications allow the speaker to reproduce both loud and soft music passages with consistent quality and without distortion. The high efficiency of the speaker, combined with the 3 Ohm impedance, ensures optimal sound reproduction even at low amplifier power. Especially if you enjoy listening to music loudly, the BETA 165-X ensures that the listening session remains pleasant and free of audio artifacts.

What are the Thiele-Small parameters of the Gladen BETA 165-X?

The Thiele-Small parameters of the Gladen BETA 165-X include Qms of 3.97, Qes of 0.87, and Qts of 0.72. The free air resonance value (Fs) of the speaker is 73 Hz. Vas, the equivalent air volume, is 12 liters, which significantly influences the speaker's behavior. Other important parameters are the DC resistance (Re) of 2.62 Ohms and the effective diaphragm area (Sd) of 134.8 cm². These parameters significantly affect the bass performance and dynamic characteristics of the speaker, contributing to precise and natural sound reproduction.

Can the BETA 165-X be operated with factory radios?

Yes, the Gladen BETA 165-X can be easily operated with factory radios thanks to its 3 Ohm impedance. This low impedance allows the speaker to draw more power from the radio's amplifier, leading to improved sound quality, even though the radio amplifier has lower power. This feature makes the BETA 165-X particularly flexible and suitable for use in vehicles not designed for aftermarket amplifiers. Integration into various factory radio systems is therefore very straightforward, without the need for additional adjustments.

What advantages does the paper membrane of the BETA 165-X offer?

The paper membrane of the BETA 165-X from Gladen offers significant advantages in sound reproduction. Its very good damping behavior minimizes distortions and allows for clean, coloration-free reproduction of the midrange. This results in a structured fundamental tone and bass range that transports musical pieces more vividly and authentically. The paper membrane harmonizes efficiently with the drive and surround of the mid-bass driver, achieving a balanced sound image. These characteristics are particularly beneficial when precise sound dynamics and a natural flow of music are required.

What is the radiation behavior of the Gladen BETA 165-X?

The Gladen BETA 165-X is characterized by uniform radiation behavior, especially thanks to its 20-mm tweeter arranged coaxially at the center of the mid-bass driver. This arrangement allows for a compact, point-like sound source that ensures homogeneous reproduction. In typical installation configurations in vehicles, this results in a stable spatial representation that guarantees clear and distinct music playback even with complex song structures. The uniform radiation behavior is crucial for the perception of details and provides an immersive soundstage inside the vehicle.

Is the Gladen BETA 165-X compatible with common car brands?

The Gladen BETA 165-X is designed for use in many common car brands, as its dimensions facilitate practical integration.
