ESB 2000 Series 2.6C 6.5″/165mm Coaxial Speaker

ESB 2.6C coaxial speakers
The new 2000 (Duemila) model series is based on the experience gained from the more advanced and very successful 3000 series, with which it shares many design and technological solutions. The identical basket and mid-woofer diaphragm ensure accurate and faithful reproduction of low and mid frequencies. The mid-woofer basket made of glass-fiber reinforced ABS plastic has high mechanical resistance, much higher than traditional metal baskets. The pressed paper diaphragm ensures an excellent balance between performance, durability and stability with a high internal damping factor, which allows low distortion. You can choose from two sizes of tweeters with a silk dome, which, compared to the 3000 series, also include integrated crossovers for easy installation. The Duemila series portfolio also includes high-quality coaxial speakers and a three-way system with a special UMA unit. Traditional green details enhance the design of this series, which brings cutting-edge technology and high-quality sound inspired by the higher ESB series at a lower price. Due to the high real sensitivity, the 2000 series speakers are also suitable for connection to a car radio, but their advantages will fully demonstrate when installing an external amplifier.

PRODUCT FEATURES:
The 2000 Series coaxial speakers share several exclusive technologies with the higher 3000 Series. The glass-fiber reinforced ABS basket has been designed to achieve maximum torsional rigidity, while offering minimal resistance to the passage of air expelled by the diaphragm from the rear face. The basket plays a crucial role in balancing the voice coil in the magnetic circuit, and its rigidity plays a decisive role. Damping is also an important factor. Traditional steel baskets tend to resonate, which significantly changes the final sound result of the speaker. The ABS basket allows for better clamping torque than typical pressed steel frames and ensures that the voice coil remains well-centered in the magnetic field. The paper diaphragm still represents the best balance of lightness, rigidity and the diaphragm’s ability to dampen any unwanted vibrations and distortions. The special waterproof treatment developed at ESB does not change the appearance and parameters of the speaker like traditional glossy polymers, which add a significant amount of mass to the membrane itself and significantly modify the sound result. The perbunan rubber of the suspension ensures the dual function of high damping and excellent lateral stability. This means that the membrane is “forced” to move only vertically, eliminating lateral movements that could cause contact with the coil and magnet. The voice coil of the woofers uses an aluminum carrier and winding with double-layer copper wire technology with an aluminum core. The long-throw design was chosen to improve sensitivity and efficiency while maintaining minimal distortion. The speakers are equipped with a Y-35 class ferrite magnet motor with significantly higher power than classic “standard” ferrite magnets, which ensures easier control of the power applied to the speaker and also its excellent efficiency. The speaker also features integrated 25mm silk dome tweeters for accurate and precise high frequency reproduction. The high-quality N-35 neodymium magnets are optimized using computer simulations to achieve better efficiency and improved linearity for greater and better power management, increasing bandwidth and efficiency. The result is an exceptional coaxial speaker with superior sound that is a great addition to the components in this model range.
