  • TT220AS-XR: doua difuzoare Low/Bass de 220mm cu membrana sandwich hartie-aluminiu Crystal, pentru excursie marita si distorsiuni minime
  • TT180AS-XR LLD: difuzor Low/Mid de 180mm cu membrana sandwich hartie-aluminiu Crystal, si cu tehnologie LLD (Long Linear Drive), pentru liniaritate crescuta si distorsiuni minime
  • VX-JET: sistem de difuzoare midrange-tweeter concentrice si coplanare - midrange inelar (honeycomb aluminiu) si tweeter JET III
  • Controlul dispersiei: difuzorul coaxial de medii-inalte VX-JET poate fi pozitionat mai in fata sau mai in spate, prin ajustarea unui buton. Boxa ofera astfel posibilitatea ajustarii paternului de dispersie in concordanta cu acustica incaperii dar si cu preferintele auditoriului.

FS 509 VX-JET:

Big, bigger, great - Discover the perfect rotation. The adjustable giants that make us just proud.

The FS 509 VX-JET presents a sovereignty in reproducing sound of each superior music material. Doesn’t matter if Fortissimo or Pianissimo … the verve rises with every single beat and exceeds all expectations.

VX-JET coaxial and coplanar Midrange-Treble Driver System

ELAC VX-JET: Basis for this innovative driver is the famous ELAC X-JET driver, a combination of the well reputed JET tweeter coaxially surrounded by the midrange driver. The innovation of the VX-JET is the variably adjustable position of the driver, therefore the name VX-JET.

By means of an adjusting knob at the rear side of the speaker the whole VX-JET driver may be moved 8 mm out (in front of the baffle) or 8 mm in (behind the baffle). The idea behind is the fact that each room has its own acoustical behaviour and the same speaker produces different sounds in different rooms. The wish of “one speaker for all rooms” has been a myth … until today. Because now, it is possible to adapt the speaker to the room.

ELAC 4PI 607 CE - Adjuistment

The X-JET is a unique combination of a flat (nomex honeycomb with crystal membrane) ring radiator midrange driver and a concentrically arranged JET III tweeter .

By this the X-JET design approaches the radiation pattern of an ideal point source! This facilitates an optimized acoustic power response and results in a homogeneous and very wide sound dispersion angle (s.a. the graphics below) which provides for a new kind of relaxed but very precise and detailed reproduction.
