Elac Speakers
the life of sound
Andante
Dynamic performance...Daring design
The Adante series are bold loudspeakers that break through boundaries - challenging the limitations of traditional designs.
Designed by Andrew Jones they start with a precision built cabinet which contains multiple enclosures. Each section has been designed for sound generation within a specific range.
Engineered and built to quality standards that exceed every expectation, the speakers deliver performance that will satisfy the most demanding audiophile.
The Andante series are loudspeakers of substance. Created for uncompromising listeners searching for the speakers that do it all, at a price as satisfying as the sound.
Debut II
The ELAC Debut series delivers superior performance thanks to custom made key components, with no off-the-shelf parts.
A silk-dome tweeter features a wide-roll surround and takes response up to 35,000 Hz for lifelike high frequencies. A wave guide improves directivity control and eliminates the diffraction modes inherent in traditional box enclosures.
An aramid fiber woofer offers even greater stiffness and damping, far superior to polypropylene or paper. The added strength allows more flexibility in design to achieve a smoother, extended low-frequency response.
Thick MDF cabinets with a luxurious black ash vinyl finish are larger, and internally braced for greater stiffness and strength, greatly reducing cabinet vibrations which cause unwanted coloration.
On the Bookshelf and Center Channel, moving the bass port to the front of the cabinet means placement against walls or in bookshelves won’t compromise performance.
Uni-Fi
All Uni-Fi loudspeakers employ a concentric driver.
Because of its ideal time-domain characteristics, a concentric design—combining a tweeter and midrange diaphragm within a single voice coil—delivers the most coherent and accurate reproduction across the treble and midrange frequency spectrums.
ELAC’s chief engineer Andrew Jones explains how Uni-Fi speakers build on a new foundation:
“My goal with the Uni-Fi series was to create a line of speakers with technology and performance normally reserved for speakers costing significantly more.
By going with a 3-way design and employing a new in-house developed concentric driver, we’ve achieved a sound that is more true to the music than similar priced products.”
