PC 130 F

$570.00

5″ (13cm) Two-Way Coaxial Kit (Flax Cone)

The PC 130 F is a 5” (13cm) speaker driver with a power of 60 Watts RMS.

This coaxial kit is perfect for complementing the Flax component kits of the Performance Expert range. Indeed, many vehicles only have locations for 2-way component kits in the front, and full-range coaxial kits are used in the rear of the vehicle. Based on the same Flax cone technology, the PC 130 F is ideal for complementing the component kits PS 165 F, PS 165 FX, PS 165 F3 and PS 130 F to provide optimal harmonic balance.

The kit is also supplied with the appropriate protective grilles.

Description

  • High sensitivity
  • All the last high tech solutions
  • Unique and patented FLAX cone (N°1350116)
  • A new sound for a new 100% Focal signature
  • More compact tweeter support
  • Integrated crossover

NATURAL SOUND:

Its lightness makes it very dynamic, while the stiffness offers great bass and it is well damped to deliver neutral, natural sound. Flax is twice as light as fiberglass, because it is a hollow fibre. The very low elasticity makes it ideal for increasing the modulus of flexural rigidity within a sandwich structure.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Shallow and lightweight
  • “Dual Magnet” for more power
  • FLAX® technology for an exclusive cone
  • High rigidity for deep and controlled bass
  • Compact size for sealed enclosure
  • High excursion
  • Fiberglass voice-coil material for overheating reduction
  • Rubber surround catenary profile for Long life, reliability, and high excursion

Development

Made in France but affordable, Flax cones are oriented towards acoustic performance, high-tech and give an original design to the brand’s speaker drivers!

After more than five years of research and development, engineers at Focal can now reveal a new cone made of high-quality flax fibers. F cone are characterised by their natural sound, with low coloration, their richness of reproduction in the midrange register and their tighter bass.

Unique Qualities of Flax

F cones are made of high-quality flax fibers core enclosed by two thin layers of glass fiber. They satisfy the key criteria of a high performance diaphragm: high internal damping, high velocity of sound, and high flexural rigidity.

Rigidity

All these criteria cannot be met by a mono-material cone. Sandwich technology greatly influences the neutrality of the sound produced by the cone, something, which has always been Focal’s hallmark. The expertise gained from the sandwich technology of the Utopia and K2 Power ranges enabled Focal to develop a revolutionary flax-fiber cone conciliating the 3 criteria.

Lightness

Flax is twice as light as fiberglass, because the fiber is hollow. It also has very low elasticity which makes it ideal to increase the flexural rigidity of a sandwich structure. Moreover, it can be obtained in non-woven bundles of considerable diameter and it can therefore produce the thickness required for a sandwich.

Made in France and Affordable

Flax cones are designed and manufactured in France, from french flax fiber. France is the main cultivator in Europe of fiber flax, principally in Flanders, Picardy, Normandy and the Pas-de-Calais region. French flax is considered the best in the world.

Synthetic fibers or foams originating from petrochemical resources are subject to inflation linked to the sharp rise in crude oil prices. Organic or ecological textiles, like flax, are thus becoming more and more price competitive.

Because the “W” or “K2” sandwich have to be manufactured by hand, their range of application remains limited for reasons of cost. The industrial process developed to manufacture the “F” cones bring it within reach of very price competitive product ranges

Internal Damping

Composite materials have properties suitable for applications where both rigidity and low mass are required. However, their disadvantage is that they lack damping, which leads to very poor control of vibrations.

Recent developments in this field combining composites and natural fibers have brought unexpected opportunities. Flax fiber has an excellent internal damping of the same order of magnitude as the glass or Kevlar fibers or aluminum.
