Focal Elite 4-Inch 2-Way Component Kit - ES100KE

Focal ES 100 KE Elite 4-Inch 2-Way Component Kit

Ultra-Compact

The ultra-compact ES 100 KE kit is extremely sensitive for such a small package. It will adapt to all configurations and all types of vehicle interiors.

The speaker drivers are equipped with the K2 cone, Focal’s iconic yellow innovation, that combines lightness, rigidity and damping. These ingredients ensure dynamic sound with incredible definition. The central ogive cones, meanwhile, help to disperse the sound better inside the passenger compartment.

For a super smooth treble, the TKME tweeter is the perfect, natural accompaniment to the midrange frequencies. Also made of aramid fibres, their inverted domes have an exclusive ‘M’-shaped profile that improves control of cone deformations and thereby limits distortion. The kits enjoy a very compact crossover, making installation and adjustments inside the vehicle easy. Also, for a custom installation, the TKME tweeters can be mounted in the factory locations, flush-fitted or on angled brackets.

Aluminium grilles are also supplied with the kit.

Features

Performance - K2 Excellence

• K2 Sandwich Cone
  The aramid fibre cone inherits all of Focal’s unique know-how. Composed of an ultralight foam core, sandwiched between a thin layer of aramid fibre and a layer of fibreglass, it combines 3 key factors when it comes to acoustics: rigidity, lightness and damping, for sound that is as precise and dynamic as it can get.
• TMD Surround
  The speaker drivers benefit from TMD(Tuned Mass Damper) technology, a patented innovation. This surround has a special profile, designed to better control the effect of resonance and reduce the distortion associated with deformations of the cone. The midranges are perfectly defined and very realistic.
• TKME Tweeter
  The ‘M’-profile TKME tweeter extends the frequency response to 22 kHz with an even greater reduction of distortion, for smooth and precise diffusion in the high treble. Coupled with a ‘push-pull’ motor, based on IAL2 technology, it achieves very low resonance frequencies for perfect harmonic balance.

Power and Reliability - Pushing the Boundaries

• More Linearity and Precision
  The progressive spider on the K2 Power speaker drivers is built around a progressive section to reproduce all the impact of the bass and increase the linearity, precision and dynamics of the sound.
• Increased SPL
  The Radial VC cooling system for the speaker driver coil expels hot air from the coil towards the bottom of the motor through 6 holes. This improves control over the coil temperature, limiting the effects of heat compression and improving reliability. This improves the dynamics of the speaker driver and generates a powerful sound.
• Optimized Crossovers
  All the components used for the K2 Power crossovers have been specially selected and optimised to better control the effects of heat dissipation. These components are essential for managing the various channels and the soundstage reliably and efficiently.
