Sony XS692ES: 6 x 9" (16 x 24 cm) ES-Series Mobile 2-Way Component Speakers

Lightweight rigid cellular aramid fibre matrix diaphragm:

The diaphragms for the woofer and mid range driver are crafted from Sony's unique lightweight rigid cellular material, formerly known as mica reinforced cellular.  The latest generation compound has been further optimized alongside mechanical driver improvements, to deliver an even wider frequency response and smoother, more natural sound characteristics.

Optimal formulation:

Embedding in a unique matrix through aramid fibres suppresses diaphragm resonance and minimizes distortion, not only in the lows, but also in the mid and higher frequencies. The result is sound that is powerful at all frequencies and uncommonly clean, even at high volume.

Separated notch edge surround:

The woofer surround features another proprietary Sony technology, through distinctive curved notches improving the vertical amplitude symmetry, for dramatically reduced distortion and enhanced clarity.

Five beam frame structure and dynamic air diffuser:

The five beam frame design disperses resonance while the integrated dynamic air diffuser ensures efficient air circulation for smooth cone travel and cooling of the voice coil.

Progressive height rate spider:

The acoustically optimized spider allows for higher power handling and airflow, through a profile designed for more rapid and precise cushioning of the Speaker cone.

Phase plug:

The resonance damping phase plug on the XS692ES woofer helps realize ideal frequency response, right up to the crossover point through the matched tweeters.  A rigid aluminum bobbin and dynamic air diffuser further support the Speaker's wide frequency response, for controlled and dynamic bass delivery.

Tweeters to hit the high notes:

Compatible alongside high resolution audio, a soft dome tweeter diaphragm is directly attached on the voice coil, designed to cover your music's ultra high ends, through a frequency range extending up to 40 kHz.

Bi amp capable crossover through gain selector:

The audiophile grade crossover features an optimal, lower resistance film capacitor for smooth high end.  Its bi amp capable design mitigates current distortion to the tweeter when running the woofer through high input levels.  A dedicated gain selector helps keep balance of woofer and tweeter signal levels, and enables tweeter level adjustment even when driving the components from a single amplifier.
