Sony Mobile ES 6.5" 2-Way Coaxial Speakers (Pair) - XS-160ES

Sony XS-160ES Mobile ES 6.5" 2-Way Coaxial Speakers (Pair)

MRC (Mica Reinforced Cellular) is our original speaker diaphragm material, engineered for high rigidity, light weight and good internal loss (low resonant distortion). The third gen compound has been further optimized alongside mechanical driver improvements, to deliver an even wider frequency response and smoother, more natural sound characteristics. Embedding MRC in a unique matrix with aramid fibers suppresses diaphragm resonance and minimizes distortion — not only in the lows, but also in the mid and higher frequencies. The result is sound that is powerful at all frequencies and uncommonly clean — even at high volume.

Key Features

• MRC aramid-fiber matrix woofer for tight and responsive bass
• Soft-dome tweeter covers up to 40 kHz ultra-highs
• Separated Notch Edge Surround for less distortion and clear sound
• Five-beam Frame design disperses resonance
• Dynamic Air Diffuser ensures efficient air circulation for smooth cone travel and cooling

Features

• Elevate your sound
  Clarity and power come together in the XS-160ES 2-way speakers. Enjoy a premium Mobile ES experience and the ease of installation from the compact coaxial design.
• MRC Aramid Fiber Matrix Woofer
  The main speaker diaphragm on the XS-160ES is crafted from Sony's unique Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) material. This rigid but lightweight driver allows for a much more precise response than conventional driver materials, for smoother and more natural sound characteristics.
• Optimal formulation
  Embedding MRC in a unique matrix with aramid fibers suppresses diaphragm resonance and minimises distortion — not only in the lows, but also in the mid and higher frequencies. The result is sound that is powerful at all frequencies and uncommonly clean — even at high volume.
• Separated Notch Edge Surround
  The woofer surround features another proprietary Sony technology, with distinctive curved notches improving the vertical amplitude symmetry, for dramatically reduced distortion and enhanced clarity.
• Five-beam Frame Structure & Dynamic Air Diffuser
  The Five-beam Frame design disperses resonance while the integrated Dynamic Air Diffuser ensures efficient air circulation for smooth cone travel and cooling of the voice coil.
• Progressive Height Rate Spider
  The acoustically-optimised spider allows for higher power handling and airflow, with a profile designed for more rapid and precise cushioning of the speaker cone.
• Tweeter to hit the high notes
  Compatible with High-Resolution Audio, a soft dome tweeter diaphragm is directly attached on the voice coil, designed to cover your music's ultra-high ends, with a frequency range extending up to 40kHz.
