Fourth-Gen Focal K2 Power In-Car Hi-Fi Speakers

Focal announces its refreshed K2 Power line with new and exclusive technologies, a compact profile, and refined aesthetics.

Focal has evolved its renowned K2 Power range to further improve performance whilst preserving the K2 DNA, born with the creation of the iconic yellow cone in 1986. With the fourth generation of K2 Power audio kits, the French brand proclaims it is "asserting its prowess in onboard sound reproduction like never before."

NEW K2 POWER GENERATION

The fourth-generation K2 Power continues to sport the iconic yellow cone and promises pure hi-fi sound. Manufactured in Focal's workshops, the range includes ten products: a coaxial kit, five 2-way component kits, one 3-way component kit and three subwoofers.

Crucial to the range is the aramid fibre K2 sandwich cone. According to Focal, this innovation ensures rigidity, lightness, and damping - the three essentials of a good speaker driver. Initially developed for the range of high-end Sopra loudspeakers, the TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) surround allows you to control the resonance effects and drastically reduce the distortion associated with cone deformation. The speaker drivers use this patented technology to diffuse clearly defined midranges. Also composed of a K2 sandwich cone in aramid fibre, the TKME tweeter has an 'M’-profile, allowing better control of cone deformation and precise reproduction of high frequencies up to 22kHz.

Naturally, the range encompasses Focal's expertise and innovations to promise even greater performance. Features include kits fitted with a FRAK tweeter, which, says Focal, gives your system unprecedented dynamics. The French firm comments that, designed like a speaker driver (TMD surround, progressive profile spider), it provides a unique sound experience inside the vehicle. Equipped with an 'M’-profile cone, it combines aluminium – enabling enhanced frequency lowering – with magnesium, working together to elevate the high-performance treble.

Another element Focal is particularly proud of is its shallow depth kits, SUB 25 KXS and ES 165 K2S. We are told that it has made them highly compact without losing energy.

As for the design, K2 Power has had a makeover with "modernised and updated aesthetics" - a black finish to make the K2 cone pop more and a black textured finish on the TKME tweeter.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
