FLAX SANDWICH CONE
Made in France but affordable, Flax cones are oriented towards acoustic
performance, high-tech and give an original design to the brand’s speaker
drivers!
After more than five years of research and development, engineers at Focal reveal in 2013 a new cone made of high-quality flax fibers. F cone are characterised by their natural sound, with low coloration, their richness of reproduction in the midrange register and their tighter bass.
THE UNIQUE QUALITIES OF FLAX
F cones are made of high-quality flax fibers core enclosed by two thin
layers of glass fiber. They satisfy the key criteria of a high performance
diaphragm : high internal damping, high velocity of sound and high flexural
rigidity.
Rigidity
All these criteria cannot be met by a mono-material cone. Sandwich
technology greatly influences the neutrality of the sound produced by the cone,
something, which has always been Focal’s hallmark. The expertise gained from
the sandwich technology of the Utopia and K2 Power ranges enabled Focal to
develop a revolutionary flax-fiber cone conciliating the 3 criteria.
Lightness
Flax is twice as light as fiberglass, because the fiber is hollow. It
also has very low elasticity which makes it ideal to increase the flexural
rigidity of a sandwich structure. Moreover, it can be obtained in non-woven
bundles of considerable diameter and it can therefore produce the thickness
required for a sandwich.
Internal damping
Composite materials have properties suitable for applications where both rigidity and low mass are required. However, their disadvantage is that they lack damping, which leads to very poor control of vibrations. Recent developments in this field combining composites and natural fibers have brought unexpected opportunities. Flax fiber has an excellent internal damping of the same order of magnitude as the glass or Kevlar® fibers or aluminum.
MADE IN FRANCE AND AFFORDABLE
Flax cones are designed and manufactured in France, from french flax
fiber. France is the main cultivator in Europe of fiber flax, principally
in Flanders, Picardy, Normandy and the Pas-de-Calais region. French flax is
considered the best in the world.
Synthetic fibers or foams originating from petrochemical resources are
subject to inflation linked to the sharp rise in crude oil prices. Organic or
ecological textiles, like flax, are thus becoming more and more
pricecompetitive.
Because the “W” or "K2" sandwich have to be manufactured by hand, their range of application remains limited for reasons of cost. The industrial process developed to manufacture the "F" cones bring it within reach of very pricecompetitive product ranges
