The Sony XS-160ES 6-1/2″ 2-way speakers represent the pinnacle of Sony’s Mobile ES (Elevated Standard) Series, designed specifically for audiophiles seeking premium sound reproduction in their vehicles. These high-resolution compatible speakers are meticulously engineered to deliver exceptional clarity, detail, and natural sound reproduction that brings you closer to the original recording.
At the heart of these speakers is Sony’s proprietary Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) aramid fiber woofer, a specialized material developed in-house to provide the perfect balance of lightweight rigidity and responsiveness. This innovative woofer design minimizes distortion while enhancing overall low-frequency performance. Complementing the woofer is a 13/16″ (20mm) synthetic fiber dome tweeter capable of reproducing frequencies up to an impressive 40,000 Hz, well beyond the range of human hearing but crucial for capturing the atmospheric nuances in high-resolution audio recordings.
Every aspect of the XS-160ES speakers demonstrates Sony’s commitment to eliminating unwanted resonance and distortion. From the five-beam frame structure that disperses resonance to the integrated dynamic air diffuser that promotes essential cooling during high-power operation, these speakers are engineered to deliver immersive, natural sound with exceptional detail, even at high volumes when powered by a quality aftermarket amplifier.
