ESB 2000 Series 2.6K2XP 2-Way Speaker System with 1.1″ Tweeter

ESB 2.6K2XP Component 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:

ESB Audio 2.165 II mid-bass speaker
The 2000 Series mid-bass speakers share several exclusive technologies from 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 distortion. 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.

ESB Audio 2.028 tweeters
The ESB Audio 2.028 tweeters not only have a larger dome diameter compared to the lower ESB 2.025 model, but are also made of a different material. Specifically, it is an exclusive non-woven PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) fabric Torcon® with high-performance fiber, which stands out for its excellent heat resistance, low weight, excellent self-damping and resonant frequency response above the audible range. Highly faithful and natural sound, which is pleasant to listen to even for long hours, is another advantage of this dome. The outer suspension is made of the same material, but is additionally covered with high-loss damping material to eliminate vibrations and resonances. The result is a very soft and transparent tweeter sound with maximum detail. The 28 mm voice coil has an aluminum support and very light aluminum wire coated with copper. The voice coil features excellent ventilation with anti-resonance chambers and is damped with a special liquid iron oil. The special SVS (Surround Vented System) ventilation design provides optimal cooling to handle high power and avoid air compression at the back of the diaphragm with great distortion reduction. High-quality neodymium magnets, such as N-42, are optimized through computer simulations to achieve better efficiency and improved linearity to provide greater and better power management and increase bandwidth and efficiency. For easy installation and the possibility of passive connection, the tweeters include an integrated frequency crossover.
