Frequently Asked Questions about Flax Evo PS165FSE


What are the technical specifications of the Flax Evo PS165FSE Speaker Set?

The Flax Evo PS165FSE from Focal is a 6.5 inch (16.5 cm) Speaker Set with a frequency response of 70 Hz to 28 kHz, covering an impressive range of audio signals. The nominal impedance is 4 Ohm, making it compatible with most car amplifiers. The sensitivity is 91.5 dB at 2.83V/1m, meaning the speaker plays loud and clear with relatively low amplifier power. The nominal power handling is 60 W RMS, while the maximum power handling is 120 W. A Flax sandwich membrane and TMD surround contribute to outstanding sound performance.

What materials are used in the Flax Evo PS165FSE and why?

The Flax Evo PS165FSE uses a Flax sandwich membrane made from flax fibers. This construction provides an excellent balance between stiffness and Damping, contributing to the creation of a clear and natural sound image. Additionally, the TAM tweeter is equipped with an Al/Mg M-profile inverted dome, which ensures precise high-frequency reproduction. Finally, the TMD surround helps reduce deformations, minimizing unwanted resonances and thereby improving the sound.

How does the TMD surround affect the performance of the Flax Evo PS165FSE?

The TMD surround of the Flax Evo PS165FSE is a special material construction that effectively reduces unwanted distortions and vibrations. This property significantly improves sound precision by minimizing resonances in the membrane area. In combination with the 165 mm Flax membrane, a more dynamic and clearer reproduction of the lows is enabled. This is particularly ensured by the reduced unwanted movements, which guarantee cleaner sound transmission. Especially when playing more complex pieces of music, you will notice a strong improvement in timing and transparency.

Are there Speaker Grilles for the Flax Evo PS165FSE and what purpose do they serve?

Yes, the Flax Evo PS165FSE comes with Speaker Grilles. These grilles protect the sensitive membrane surfaces from physical damage such as impacts or foreign objects that could penetrate the chassis. Additionally, Speaker Grilles can also influence the aesthetics of the speaker and improve its integration into the vehicle environment. The presence of these grilles helps ensure the longevity and performance of the speaker by protecting critical components. This protection is particularly advantageous in harsher environments or with significant use.

What influence does the adjustable treble level control have on the sound of the speaker?

The adjustable treble level control on the Flax Evo PS165FSE allows you to adjust the treble range according to your preferences or acoustic conditions. By regulating the treble frequencies, you can optimize the sound to ensure a balanced listening experience. Especially with quieter tones or in acoustically challenging environments, raising or lowering the treble level can significantly improve perceived clarity or reduce disturbing peaks. This allows you to customize the speaker to achieve the optimal sound profile in any environment.

What are the dimensions of the Flax Evo PS165FSE and how does that affect installation in the vehicle?

The Flax Evo PS165FSE has a mounting diameter of 144 mm and a mounting depth of 54.5 mm. These compact dimensions allow for flexible integration into most vehicle doors. When installing, it is crucial to accurately measure the available space in your vehicle's speaker cutouts to ensure that the depth and diameter match the cutouts. If space is limited, the shallow mounting depth offers the advantage of fitting into flatter installation spaces without compromising performance.

How does the TAM tweeter of the Flax Evo PS165FSE differ in sound reproduction?

The TAM Tweeter of the Flax Evo PS165FSE is equipped with an aluminum/magnesium M-Profile inverted dome. This configuration allows for outstanding reproduction of high frequencies while ensuring precision and brilliance in sound. The M-Profile inverted dome technology is known for its ability to ensure the radiation of high frequencies over a wider range, resulting in a clear, detailed, and expansive soundstage. Especially in music genres that rely on delicate highs, you will find that this tweeter delivers outstanding results.

What advantages does the Flax sandwich membrane offer in the bass range?

The Flax sandwich membrane of the Flax Evo PS165FSE consists of flax fibers combined with synthetic layers to create a balanced sound spectrum. In the bass range, this design allows for excellent control and precision. The stiffness of the membrane reduces distortion at high volumes and minimizes noise. Additionally, the lightweight nature of flax ensures a quick response to low-frequency signals, resulting in clear and punchy bass. For listeners who value precise bass tuning, this membrane offers significant acoustic advantages.

What role does the sensitivity of 91.5 dB play in the implementation of the Flax Evo PS165FSE?

The sensitivity of 91.5 dB of the Flax Evo PS165FSE refers to the volume the speaker outputs when operated with a signal of 2.83V/1m. This high sensitivity means that the speaker is efficient in converting electrical signals into acoustic waves, resulting in higher volume at lower amplifier power. This feature is crucial for users who do not use excessively powerful amplifiers in their vehicles, allowing for powerful and clear sound reproduction nonetheless.

How do the load capacity values of the Flax Evo PS165FSE affect its performance?

The nominal load capacity of the Flax Evo PS165FSE is 60 W RMS, while the maximum load capacity is 120 W. These values indicate the power the speaker can continuously (RMS) and in peaks (Max) handle. A speaker with high maximum load capacity can manage loud music passages without distortion and provides a sound experience that remains consistent even at peak levels. However, for clear and distortion-free sound, it is important to stay within the specified RMS power. The values thus describe your freedom and limitations in using the speaker.
