Features

• Elevate your sound
  The XS-162ES 6.5″ (16cm) component speakers deliver astonishing clarity and imaging to your in-car listening. Redefine your listening with these innovative Mobile ES speakers.
• MRC Aramid Fiber Matrix Woofer
  The main speaker diaphragm on the XS-162ES 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.
• Bi-amp capable crossover with gain selector
  The audiophile-grade crossover features an optimal, lower-resistance film capacitor for smooth high-end. It’s bi-amp capable design mitigates current distortion to the tweeter when running the woofer with high input levels. A dedicated gain selector helps keep balance of woofer and tweeter signal levels, and enables tweeter level adjustment even when driving the components from a single amplifier.
• 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.
• Phase plug
  The resonance damping phase plug on the XS-162ES woofer helps realise ideal frequency response, right up to the crossover point with the matched tweeters. A rigid aluminium bobbin and Dynamic Air Diffuser further support the speaker’s wide frequency response, for controlled and dynamic bass delivery.
