These speakers prove unfussy about placement. They’re only available in one finish though – the decent, but slightly drab looking, black ash vinyl as used on our review sample. We’re impressed by the build of the B5.2 and admire their crisp lines and feeling of solidity. Connection to the amplifier is through a pair of solid single-wire terminals. This is claimed to display fewer resonances and add less distortion to the sound than that found on the previous model.

These new drivers positively demand a better foundation to work from and Elac's engineers have obliged with a more rigid, braced MDF enclosure. The old one topped out at a mere 20kHz, so we’re expecting a lot more top-end sparkle and openness than before. It’s now a wide surround design with improved dispersion and a top-end response that extends to a claimed 35kHz. The tweeter may be hidden behind a distinctive grille, but it marks a major change from the previous version. On the new Debut this has moved to the front panel to make the speakers less sensitive to their proximity to the rear wall, which makes placement easier. These don’t look like the components that go in such competitively-priced speakers, but rather, speakers that cost much more.ġ-inch cloth dome with custom deep-spheroid waveguideĦ.As with most rivals, the bass is tuned by a reflex port. ELAC believes that the only parts of a speaker that should be moving are the speaker drivers themselves.Ĭount the parts and look at them closely.

This bracing greatly reduces cabinet vibration, which causes unwanted coloration to the sound. The cabinets of the F5 floorstander, the C5 center channel, the S10EQ and S12EQ subwoofers incorporate specially designed internal bracing to add stiffness and strength to the cabinet’s outer walls.

The waveguide surrounding the new ELAC high-frequency driver features a custom, deep spheroid profile to improve directivity control and shield the dome tweeter from cabinet diffraction modes inherent in traditional box enclosures.Ī custom multi-element crossover with high-grade components in each speaker ensures smooth transition between the drivers.Įvery ELAC enclosure is engineered for the long run with thick MDF outer walls and a luxurious textured vinyl finish. SILK-DOME TWEETER WITH deep-spheroid custom waveguide This added strength means arriving at designs that achieve a broader bandwidth with smoother response. Aramid fiber offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio and improved damping characteristics over conventional paper or plastic drivers. Ustom-designed WOOFER with aramid-fiber coneĪramid fiber is employed in the woofers of all ELAC Debut passive speaker systems. The B5 may be the best value in the world of affordable speakers, with sound that surpasses speakers costing many times more. It’s not just its size-to-performance ratio that sets a new standard.

In addition, a custom-designed tweeter waveguide with a deep spheroid profile improves directivity control and shields the tweeter wavefront from cabinet diffraction.ĭoes the Debut B5 change the game for bookshelf speakers? Absolutely. A custom crossover with audio-grade components ensures smooth transition between drivers.
