Mobile ES XS-W122ES (2-ohm) & XS-W124ES (4-ohm) subwoofers Key features:

Separated notch edge surround: The woofer surround features a proprietary Sony technology with distinctive curved notches, improving the vertical amplitude symmetry for dramatically reduced distortion and enhanced clarity.

Five-beam frame structure & 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 voice coil cooling.

Progressive height rate spider: The acoustically optimised spider allows for higher power handling and airflow, with a profile designed for more rapid and precise cushioning of the speaker cone.

Mobile ES XS-163ES & XS-692ES speakers Key features:

Separated notch edge surround: The woofer surround features a proprietary Sony technology with distinctive curved notches, improving the vertical amplitude symmetry for dramatically reduced distortion and enhanced clarity.

Soft dome tweeter: Compatible with High-Resolution Audio, a soft dome tweeter diaphragm is directly attached to the voice coil, designed to cover the music's ultra-high ends, with a frequency range extending up to 40kHz.

Five-beam frame structure & 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 voice coil cooling.

Progressive height rate spider: The acoustically optimised spider allows for higher power handling and airflow, with a profile designed for more rapid and precise cushioning of the speaker cone.

Phase plug: The resonance damping phase plug on the XS-163ES and the XS-692ES' woofers, as well as the XS-163ES' midrange driver, help realise ideal frequency response, right up to the crossover points. A rigid aluminium bobbin (XS-163ES only) and Dynamic Air Diffuser further support the speaker's wide frequency response, for controlled and dynamic bass/midrange delivery.

Bi-amp terminals and gain selector in crossover networks: The audiophile-grade crossover features optimised, low-resistance film capacitors for clear high-frequency reproduction. Plus, inductive winding and air-core coils deliver crisp mid and powerful sound on demand. It features a bi-amp capable design to mitigate current distortion to the tweeter when running the woofer with high input levels. A dedicated gain selector balances the woofer and tweeter signal levels and enables tweeter level adjustment even when driving the components from a single amplifier.
