ELAC BS 184

TT175: difuzor midbass cu membrana sandwich hartie-aluminiu
JET III: tweeter cu tehnologie Air-Motion-Transformer (folded foil)
DC ring (JET Dispersion Control): inel pentru controlul dispersiei ce se monteaza in jurul tweeterului JET (accesoriu optional)

BS 184 “The Jack-of-All-Trades”

Cu greu gasesti o incinta atat de versatila precum modelul BS 184. Este o incinta de raft solida, capabila de aproape orice. Fie ca este vorba de muzica clasica, pop sau jazz, obtii o incinta compacta inteligenta cu un sunet proaspat, modern, la un pret corect.

BS 184 a fost optimizata pentru pozitionare (in apropierea peretelui) de raft, dar, dupa cum este obisnuit la ELAC, poate fi adaptata la conditiile camerei cu ajutorul unui bung pentru controlul basului alcatuit din doua piese.

ELAC JET III tweeter used in all 180 Series range

The ELAC JET tweeter is one of the most legendary tweeters in the hi-fi trade and has won international renown with its unusual transparent and effortless sound image.

The JET tweeter was delveloped to perfection on the basis of the famous 'Air Motion Transformer' by loudpseaker pioneer Dr Oskar Heil. Its principle: a concertinaed foil membrane is driven by a strong magnet system of neodymium rods.

This 'motor' drives the air considerably faster than the conventional pistonic technique. High sensitivity and extraordiary dynamics are the result. Due to continuous improvement, the JET III tweeter now creates an effortless and airy resonance-free image up to 50,000 Hz, and with its linear frequency response is ideally suited for the reproduction of DVD-A and SACD.

The ELAC "JET Dispersion Control DC" is a flat ring made of open-cell rubber foam which is mounted around the JET orifice with four clasps (or with adhesive tape).

The JET DC results in a broadband reduction of about 0.5 dB of the radiated sound level nearly independent of frequency. The JET DC is best suited for rooms with little sound absorption at high frequencies, especially for rooms with large windows without curtains or with a smooth floor without a carpet.

All loudspeakers of the 240 series are supplied with the JET Dispersion Control as an accessory.

The design of the woofers of the 60 series are also based on the aluminium-sandwich technique. The wide rubber surrounding and the aerodynamic optimised - providing best air-flow - frame together with the spider being vented at both sides result in an extra large maximum membrane excursion.
The 31mm diameter voice coil and the powerful magnetic system increase the force factor - more efficiency - and by this the load limit is increased and consequently the deficiency rate decreased.
