About The Product
Lightweight Rigid Cellular Aramid Fiber Matrix Woofer
The main speaker diaphragm on the XS-162ES is crafted from Sony’s unique Lightweight Rigid Cellular material, formerly known as MRC. The latest generation compound has been further optimized alongside mechanical driver improvements, to deliver an even wider frequency response and smoother, more natural sound characteristics.
Optimal formulation
Embedding 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.
Bi-amp capable crossover with gain selector
The audiophile-grade crossover features an optimal, lower-resistance film capacitor for smooth high-end. Its 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.
