ESB Audio 3.6K2RX speakers

ESB 3.6K2RX 2-way component speakers

The ESB Series 3000 loudspeaker system (Tremila) has been developed and assembled with great dedication to researching materials and technical solutions of the highest level. The goal was to create a complete line of speakers and subwoofers with a focus on high sound quality and versatile installation. Speaker baskets have been designed to achieve maximum torsional stiffness. A membrane made of pressed paper with a waterproof treatment is the best combination of lightness, stiffness and the ability of the membrane to dampen any unwanted vibrations. All mid-bass speakers are equipped with a motor with a class Y-35 ferrite magnet, with significantly higher performance than classic "standard" ferrite magnets. The tweeters of the ESB 3.6K2R set are made of a textile membrane impregnated with silk to achieve a very faithful sound with an extended frequency response. The coil has excellent ventilation with anti-resonance chambers and is damped with a special oil based on liquid iron. The set includes tweeters and tweeters, and the package also includes high-quality 2-band frequency crossovers. Due to the high real sensitivity, the speakers are suitable for connecting to a factory or aftermarket car radio, but you can use their advantages to the full if you install an external amplifier.

ESB Audio 3.165 mid-bass speaker

It is widely known that diaphragms made of paper are the best combination of lightness, stiffness and the ability of a cone to dampen any unwanted vibrations and distortions. Paper is a popular material for its excellent sound properties and is waterproof thanks to a polymer developed exclusively at ESB. The treatment does not change the appearance and parameters of the speaker like shiny polymers, which add a significant amount of mass to the membrane itself and significantly modify the sound result. The ESB treatment protects the membrane from moisture and dripping water, as well as from accidental splashes on the front of the membrane. Perbunan suspension rubber ensures 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 rigidity, but at the same time offer minimum resistance to the passage of air pushed by the membrane from its back side. This is clearly visible from the numerous stiffeners and ribs. The basket and its stiffness play a vital role in balancing the coil in the magnetic circuit. An equally important factor is the damping of this component, as metal baskets often tend to resonate and this significantly changes the final sound result of the speaker. The material used, in addition to not being so sensitive to thermal changes, is non-flammable and, above all, completely resistant to resonances. Additionally, the ABS plastic basket 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 diaphragm are largely suppressed.

ESB Audio 3.25 tweeters

The ESB Audio 3.6K2R component speakers use alternative 25mm ESB Audio 3.25 tweeters. Thanks to their compact dimensions, these tweeters can be installed in most modern vehicles without any problems. The diaphragm is made of silk-impregnated fabric to achieve high-fidelity sound. The outer suspension is covered with damping material with excellent damping properties to prevent vibrations and resonances. The ultra-light weight dome is not susceptible to mechanical deformation and produces a neutral sound with an extended frequency response. The 25mm 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 greatly reduced distortion. High quality neodymium magnets such as N-42 are optimized using computer simulations to achieve better efficiency and improve 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 20th 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 began 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 starting to be 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 is part of 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".
