ESB Audio 2.6K2 speakers
More about the product
ESB 2.6K2 component speakers
The basic model series 2000 (Duemila) contains advanced technologies that allow listening to faithful and high-quality sound in the car. All of ESB R & D's knowledge and experience in home audio has been transferred to these special components to achieve maximum audio performance, bandwidth, dynamic response and more faithful reproduction of sound details. The 2000 series stands out especially for its great sound, high performance, and easy installation. The basket of the mid-bass speaker made of ABS plastic has a high mechanical resistance, much higher than traditional metal baskets. The pressed paper diaphragm provides the best balance between performance, durability and stability with a high internal damping factor allowing for low distortion. The dome of the tweeter is made of silk fabric impregnated with phenolic resins. The special magnetic oil absorbs any unwanted vibrations and at the same time improves the heat exchange between the coil and the metal body, which ensures an excellent power supply to the speaker. Among other things, the speakers are focused on easy installation, which is why you will find the crossover integrated on the cable. For maximum use of the speakers, we recommend connecting to an amplifier.

Diaphragms made of paper are the best combination of lightness, rigidity and the ability of the diaphragm to dampen any unwanted vibrations. Perbunan suspension rubber provides the dual function of high damping and great lateral stability. This means that the diaphragm is "forced" to only move vertically, eliminating lateral movements that could cause contact with the coil and magnet. The 25mm voice coil of the woofer uses an aluminum carrier and winding with double-layer copper wire technology with an aluminum core. The basket made of ABS plastic reinforced with glass fiber was designed to obtain maximum torsional stiffness, but at the same time offer minimum resistance to the passage of air forced by the membrane from the rear face. In addition to not being so sensitive to thermal changes, the material used is also non-resonant. Additionally, the ABS frame allows for better clamping force torque than typical pressed steel frames and ensures that the voice coil remains well centered in the magnetic field. The speakers are equipped with a class Y-35 ferrite magnet motor with significantly higher output than the classic "standard" ferrite magnets, which ensures easier control of the power applied to the speaker as well as its excellent efficiency. The metal parts of the motor use low carbon steel and have been designed to achieve maximum magnetic saturation. This guarantees the best electroacoustic parameters, as the eddy currents created by the movement of the membrane are largely suppressed.ESB Audio 2.028 tweeters
The 2000 series tweeters use a thin fabric dome membrane impregnated with silk for a very soft and natural sound. The outer suspension is made of the same material, but is additionally covered with a high-loss damping material to eliminate vibrations and resonances. The dome is extremely light and much less susceptible to mechanical distortion than other models, yet provides a smooth, linear and very extended response. The 28mm voice coil has an aluminum support and very light copper-clad aluminum wire. The coil has excellent ventilation with anti-resonance chambers and is damped with a special oil based on liquid iron. The special SVS (Surround Vented System) ventilation design provides optimal cooling to handle high performance and avoid air compression at the back of the diaphragm with great reduction in distortion. High quality neodymium magnets such as N-42 are optimized through computer simulations for better efficiency and improved linearity to provide more and better power management and increase bandwidth and efficiency.
About the ESB Audio brand
The history of ESB Audio dates back to 1972, when this Italian brand was officially founded. ESB audio is one of the most famous speaker system manufacturers of the second half of the 19th century, and during their rich history they have launched many innovative technologies and many high-end home audio products that have achieved huge worldwide success. Based on the experience gained, in 1984, ESB engineers began to engage in research aimed at optimizing sound in the automotive environment, and two years later they started the production of the first car speakers. Thanks to the great success, ESB began to focus more and more on the automotive industry and its demanding challenges. Car Audio is becoming a phenomenon of the time, and in 2005 a school focused exclusively on vehicle sound was founded in the city of Aprilia, where ESB is based. It was then that the final decision was made to leave the world of home audio and focus exclusively on vehicle sound systems. Currently, ESB belongs to the Italian company Apex Group together with the American manufacturer of audiophile amplifiers and DSP processors Zapco. In the offer you will find several model lines of speakers, led by the super high-end Diecimila three-way system, which represents probably the best quality and most expensive car speakers on the market today. And that is the main mission of ESB audio. To produce speakers of the highest quality, focused on faithful sound, which will allow the user to reproduce as the interpreter intended. Exactly according to the company's slogan "Just like live".
