Treble Unit
Transparent sound is reproduced by this 25 mm tweeter consisting of a coated silk dome resulting in a smooth roll off at frequencies above 25,000 Hz without noticeable resonances. A special wave-guide together results its wide dispersion characteristics.
Its extraordinary power handling capacity is resulting from two design features: the compact high efficiency neodymium magnetic system and the aluminium voice coil cooled by ferro-fluid.
Thanks to the magnetic shielding, of the the magnetic system, the ELAC AM 150 can also be set up in proximity to cathode ray tube TVs or devices with integrated hard disks or attached to them without creating interference.
Midbass Unit
The special 130 mm glas fibre reinforced paper cone of the ELAC AM 150 generates a tight bass.
Thanks to the magnetic shielding, of the the magnetic system, the ELAC AM 150 can also be set up in proximity to cathode ray tube TVs or devices with integrated hard disks or attached to them without creating interference.
Customizability of the ELAC AM 150
To adapt the Active Monitor AM 150 to different room situations and to personal listening preferences, several filter functions are provided:
The lower frequency range may be damped by a lowshelf filter, which is selectable in 3 modes (0 dB, -2 dB, and -4 dB). This filter can be used to optimise the bass frequency range to different placements of the speaker such as on a desktop, bookshelf or free standing.
The highshelf filter is also selectable in 3 modes and may be used to emphasise or to damp the treble level (0 dB, -2 dB, and +2 dB).
Another filter, which is also selectable in 3 modes, may be used to adapt the frequency range of the AM 150 to a subwoofer. This is a lowcut filter with 3 selectable crossover frequencies (flat, 80 Hz, and 100 Hz), which allows an optimised overlay without disturbing low frequency sound waves in the room. |
