Sony XS-690ES (ES-Speaker Series)

Sony XS-690ES | Precision-Engineered for Dynamic In-Car Sound

Lightweight Rigid Cellular (LRC) Aramid Fibre Matrix Woofer

At the core of the XS-690ES speakers is Sony’s proprietary Lightweight Rigid Cellular (LRC) diaphragm, formerly known as Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC). This next-generation material has been further refined with mechanical driver enhancements, offering a broader frequency response and delivering a smoother, more natural sound—ideal for high-resolution listening on the road.

Optimised Aramid Fibre Matrix for Pure, Balanced Audio

Infused with a high-strength aramid fibre matrix, the woofer diaphragm efficiently suppresses unwanted resonance and minimises distortion—not only in the bass range but also across mids and highs. The result is powerful, accurate audio reproduction that remains clean and undistorted, even at high volumes.

Separated Notch Edge Surround for Enhanced Clarity

Sony’s Separated Notch Edge Surround technology features carefully engineered curved notches that improve vertical amplitude symmetry, dramatically reducing distortion and enhancing clarity, particularly during dynamic audio peaks.

Five-Beam Frame Structure with Dynamic Air Diffuser

The Five-Beam Frame helps eliminate unwanted resonance, maintaining structural integrity and acoustic stability. An integrated Dynamic Air Diffuser ensures optimal airflow for smooth cone travel and consistent cooling of the voice coil, supporting long-term performance and speaker durability.

Progressive Height Rate Spider for High Power Handling

Built for high-performance sound systems, the acoustically optimised spider in the XS-690ES enhances power handling and improves airflow. Its specialised profile enables faster, more precise movement of the cone, contributing to accurate, punchy sound delivery across all volumes.

High-Resolution Tweeter for Ultra-Clear Highs

Designed for High-Resolution Audio compatibility, the soft dome tweeter is directly connected to the voice coil, enabling it to reproduce frequencies up to 40 kHz. This allows you to enjoy every detail in vocals, instruments, and ambient elements with exceptional clarity and definition.
