Description
(( FLAX EVO ))
Treat yourself to new sensation and unprecedented sound dynamics which will send shivers down your spine. The live sound of the Flax Evo line is revealed with power and high performance.
POWER AND GOOD LOOKS
Evo stands for “evolution”. While our Flax line is synonymous with pure sound, natural midranges and deep bass, Flax Evo only increases and revisits its assets for a high-end sound, with the same look embodied by the unique flax cone.
In addition to the Flax cone, this line incorporates the latest Focal technologies: the TAM Aluminium/Magnesium tweeter and the TMD surround featured on the tweeter, as well as all the speaker drivers for a refined yet powerful acoustic rendering.
Flax Evo includes a 2-way coaxial kit, four 2-way component kits, one 3-way component kit and four subwoofers. These kits can handle high-performance amplification and can be combined with any product from the Focal electronics range.
SOUND DYNAMICS
TAM’s inverted dome tweeters with “M” profile offer a wider diffusion angle and greater sound definition, without directionality. The Flax membrane of the woofers delivers a neutral, natural, transparent sound. The result is a balanced, enveloping soundstage.
ICONIC FLAX MEMBRANE
The Flax membrane, made from French flax fiber, combines aesthetic and acoustic qualities of the highest quality. Rich reproduction of midrange frequencies and clean attacks in the bass… it delivers a precise, powerful and transparent sound.
The Flax kit series from Focal won the hearts of music lovers all over the world when it was unveiled in 2013. On a constant quest for innovation, Focal has revamped its line and this year presents Flax Evo.
Equipped with the Flax cone, the woofers from the PC 165 FE kit deliver a very dynamic, natural sound without colouration. In addition, the TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) surround they incorporate stabilises the surround to achieve better control, and even greater neutrality and linearity.
The ‘M’-profile inverted dome coaxial tweeter, in the centre of the speaker driver, offers greater sound definition, without directionality, for an even more detailed listening experience.
Finally, with its engraved aluminium basket and meticulous finishes, PC 165 FE combines style, discretion and modernity for a premium installation in your vehicle.

THE FLAX CONE, EXPRESSIVE AND NATURAL
This flax cone has been exclusively made in France by Focal since 2013. With its original design, it is 100% geared towards acoustic performance. This sandwich cone is formed of a flax fibre core placed between two thin sheets of glass fibre. Flax is a fibre with the unique ability to reproduce a very natural sound without colouration, with a rich reproduction in the midrange and clear bass strokes. Its lightness offers great dynamics, while its rigidity sustains the bass and provides good damping to deliver a faithful listening experience. Flax fibre is twice as light as glass fibre as it is hollow. Its very low elasticity makes it ideal for increasing the flexural rigidity module of a sandwich structure.
THE TMD SURROUND
A patented Focal technology, the TMD surround makes an appearance on all speaker drivers in the Flax Evo line, playing a key role in the reproduction and purity of the midranges as well as in the elimination of acoustic distortion, particularly when listening at high volumes.
