Power, Control, and Sound in Perfection
The BRAX MATRIX ML165 PRO marks the next stage in the evolution of the legendary MATRIX ML6 D—a speaker that was already considered the benchmark for natural music reproduction in the high-end world. With a refined technical design, state-of-the-art materials, and uncompromising attention to detail, it has been consistently refined to elevate low-midrange reproduction to a previously unmatched level.
The result is a loudspeaker that reproduces music with impressive authority, exceptional precision, and emotional depth—created for audio enthusiasts who accept no compromises.


Carbon-fiber-reinforced multilayer membrane – lightweight, rigid, and low-resonance
The newly developed carbon fiber multilayer diaphragm of the ML165 PRO was created in close collaboration with renowned specialist Dr. Kurt Müller. Its layered carbon structure combines extreme rigidity with minimal mass and impressively reduces unwanted resonance.
A specially shaped reinforcement collar on the back—directly at the transition to the surround—significantly increases coil stiffness and prevents torsion even at high excursion levels. The straight cone geometry in the area of the voice coil mount optimizes force transmission and ensures exceptionally precise, controlled sound radiation.


Copper Cap for Maximum Linearity
At the center of the drive unit, a copper cap sits on the pole piece, which dampens fluctuations in the magnetic field through targeted eddy currents. This reduces the voice coil inductance, linearizes the impedance in the high-frequency range, and significantly lowers the distortion level. The result is a more uniform frequency response, higher efficiency, and impressively natural sound reproduction all the way up to the upper frequency range.


Precision and Perfect Control
The ML165 PRO’s meticulously crafted magnet system ensures a stable, symmetrical magnetic flux and guarantees maximum impulse fidelity as well as powerful dynamics across the entire frequency range. The aerodynamically shaped die-cast aluminum basket allows for optimal ventilation of the voice coil, minimizes air turbulence, and thus ensures maximum thermal stability and minimal compression effects—even at high volume levels.
The specially shaped rubber surround enables an exceptionally linear diaphragm excursion with minimal distortion. Its highly damping material ensures exact centering and precise control even at maximum excursion, while the high-strength Nomex spider, with its dimensionally stable fabric, guarantees consistently precise centering and permanently constant mechanical properties. This results in precise bass responses and clean, natural midrange reproduction.
Solid, 24-karat gold-plated terminals also guarantee maximum conductivity and uncompromised signal purity—a key factor in delivering uncompromising, reference-level sound quality.


Elegant Design – Functional and Aesthetic
The ML165 PRO impresses not only with its sound but also with its elegant appearance: The delicate, satin-matte finish of the diaphragm, the matte black powder-coated aluminum basket, and the gold trim ring around the dust cap give it a distinctive, elegant look—perfect for stylish integration into any vehicle interior.

Made in Germany – Reference-Level Sound Quality
Like all speakers in the BRAX MATRIX series, the ML165 PRO is manufactured in Germany with the utmost precision and assigned a unique serial number that is documented in the BRAX database. Each unit is delivered in an elegant wooden box and represents uncompromising build quality, audiophile passion, and sound quality at the absolute reference level.


Features:

  • Ultra-lightweight carbon fiber multi-layer membrane—combines an outstanding stiffness-to-weight ratio with minimal resonance for precise, natural, and highly dynamic sound reproduction
  • Copper cap on the pole piece—reduces voice coil inductance, linearizes impedance in the high-frequency range, and ensures a more uniform frequency response with higher efficiency 
  • Hemispherical dust cap – designed to optimize the frequency response in the upper midrange for a smooth transition to the tweeter and the finest detail resolution
  • Aerodynamically shaped die-cast aluminum basket—enables ideal voice coil ventilation and minimizes airflow noise for consistently high performance, even during dynamic peaks 
  • High-strength Nomex spiders—made from meta-aramid fabric for outstanding dimensional stability and long-term durability, even under extreme loads
  • Specially shaped rubber surround—made of high-quality butyl for maximum linear diaphragm excursion with minimal distortion 
  • Highly precise magnet system – guarantees optimally symmetrical magnetic flux, outstanding impulse response, and powerful bass reproduction
  • Ventilated pole piece and spider – improves air circulation within the magnet system and reduces compression effects for consistent performance even at high volume levels
  • Solid, 24-karat gold-plated terminals—ensure maximum conductivity and signal quality
  • Made in Germany – designed and manufactured for uncompromising, reference-level sound quality

Frequently asked questions about the BRAX MATRIX ML165 PRO speaker

How do I fit the 165 mm high-end low-midrange speaker correctly in my car?

The die-cast aluminium basket has an external diameter of 167 mm, but requires only an installation diameter (cut-out) of 143 mm with an installation depth of 64 mm. Ensure that the mounting is torsionally rigid and minimises resonance, and that there is sufficient air circulation behind the diaphragm to prevent compression effects.

What materials are used in the diaphragm and voice coil of the BRAX MATRIX?

The design features the newly developed multi-layer carbon-fibre membrane (developed in collaboration with Dr Kurt Müller) with a specially shaped reinforcement collar, as well as a 37 mm voice coil. The copper cap on the pole piece ensures a symmetrical magnetic flux and linearises the impedance in the upper frequency range.

How does the BRAX MATRIX ML165 PRO sound compared to its predecessor?

The ML165 PRO marks the next stage in the evolution of the legendary MATRIX ML6 D. Thanks to its refined technical design, distortion levels are significantly reduced – the result is natural sound reproduction with high signal purity and precise bass response across the frequency range from 40 Hz to 4,000 Hz.

Why does the copper cap in the drive system improve sound reproduction?

The copper cap on the pole piece reduces the voice coil inductance and linearises the impedance in the driver’s upper frequency range. This reduces compression effects at high volume levels and ensures a more even frequency response with higher efficiency – even with loud music, the upper mid-range remains clean and uncoloured.

What is the best way to store the speakers before fitting them?

Store the chassis in their original packaging in a dry, dust-free place at room temperature. This will ensure that the diaphragm, surround and matt black powder-coated aluminium basket remain free from resonance and undamaged in the long term.

Which components are included with the ML165 PRO?

The package includes 2x BRAX MATRIX ML165 PRO high-end low-midrange drivers, 1x drill bit, 1x set of stainless steel screws, 1x certificate and the technical data sheet. The pair of speakers is assigned a shared serial number, which is recorded in the BRAX database.

How can I tell if the BRAX MATRIX ML165 PRO is compatible with my amplifier?

The ML165 PRO is rated at 120 watts RMS / 170 watts maximum at 4 ohms impedance. Check that these figures match your amplifier’s specifications – a correctly sized amplifier will make full use of the linear cone excursion and maintain signal purity.

Where can I listen to BRAX Matrix speakers before buying them?

For a listening demonstration, we recommend contacting an authorised BRAX dealer in your area directly. This will allow you to assess the frequency response, bass response and natural sound reproduction under real-world conditions.
