ELAC BS 244 is characterized by special freshness, “[vysvetlennostyu]” of sonic material - impression they appear as a result of the lung and very uniform increase in the sound energy with an increase in the frequency. Undoubtedly, is high the contribution to the sonic result of firm JET tweeter.
 ELAC BS 244 50000 rub.
► Merits: very airy, musical sounding, the very beautiful upper register
► Deficiencies: relatively shallow bass
Construction
In the past year by German company ELAC was presented rule 240, which is approached [topovym] to rules 600 and 300. Strictly, from the young rule 200 it differs only in terms of more stylish design and new “crystalline” diffusers. Furthermore, it is worthwhile to note the very pleasant polished finishing of housing with the slightly rounded edges, the converting column into the certain pleasant by feel the touch monolith. Two-band model BS 244 is largest [polochnikom] in a series. However, large it to name complicatedly - column is sufficiently compact according to the size. As tweeter is used strip emitter JET III, well recommended itself in the earlier models. Let us note that very strip radiation principle and high-precision performance make possible for this [tviteru] to reach supersonic frequencies in 50 kHz, in this case preserving the airiness of sounding. Diffuser 180- mm [SCh] dynamics is assembled on the sandwich- diagram checked, with exception of the fact that aluminum foil is fastened not only to the paper cone, but also directly to the voice coil. The application of a new diffuser makes it possible to improve damping and to enlarge operating range.
Sound
Manner ELAC BS 244 is characterized by special freshness, “[vysvetlennostyu]” of sonic material - impression they appear as a result of the lung and very uniform increase in the sound energy with an increase in the frequency. Undoubtedly, is high the contribution to the sonic result of firm JET-tweeter. It is known that the [obertonalnye] chains stretch upward to three octaves, and the majority of upper overtones (harmonics) is fallen to the upper strip. It is sensitive because of the ability and correctly (in phase sense) to transmit maximally quiet is and at the same time extraordinarily important upper harmonics Hf- emitter fills sounding by air, beautiful acoustic haze, suspension. BS 244 ideally accurately and very sharply articulates material in the entire range, especially in the upper register. It is desirable to still and still listen to many records, for example, of jazz ensemble with the high percussion in order to take pleasure by the staggering beautiful top ELAC. Dynamic range is maximally wide. The lower register of German model corresponds to norm for the shelf acoustics, and the quality of bass - to big enough price of product. To sonic means it is sometimes missing support because of the small scarcity of the depth of lower register together with “[vosparyayushchim]” top. Model noticeably reproduces any music, in which does not count on lower register.
