FOCAL SLATEFIBER IS A NEW LINE OF IN CAR AUDIO KITS
The Slatefiber speaker drivers were used in the Focal Chora range and are now available for in-car systems.
The Focal Slatefiber design features a layer of recycled carbon fibre and is found in Focal Alpha and Evo studio monitors and the Focal Chora HiFi and AV home speakers. Now, Focal Slatefiber is also available in-car.
IN CAR AUDIO
The new designs can work with existing in-car audio systems or can be integrated into a bespoke system.
FOCAL SLATEFIBER
This new range is comprised of two versatile kits, PS 165 SF and PC 165 SF. Designed, developed and manufactured in the Focal workshops, the Slatefiber cone came on the market in 2019, first, with the Focal Chora HiFi loudspeakers, then with the Studio Alpha Evo monitors, and today with the PS 165 SF and PC 165 SF in-car kits.
A specialist of composite cones known as “sandwich”, Focal has introduced new materials for its Slatefiber cones, more particularly recycled non-woven carbon fibres for better damping, rigidity and lightness.
EASY INSTALLATION
The PS 165 SF and PC 165 SF kits, a component kit and a coaxial kit, combine the standard 165mm size to cover a wide range of vehicles on the market. They can even be directly connected to the original car radio or be used with an amplifier to make the most of their performance.
The tweeter is provided with an inclined bracket; it can also be flush-mounted or installed in the vehicle’s original location thanks to its ultra-compact size. The same is true for the tweeter and woofer crossover housings, which can be separated to offer maximum flexibility in the installation.
