Alluring clarity: the FS 607 CE

The beautiful FS 607 CE speaker is a triumphant upgrade of the successful FS 607 X-JET that has garnered the highest accolades all over the world. ELAC's crystal membranes, woofers with LLD technology, downward-facing main bass port opening, sound adjustment options, a massive new base plate with professional spikes and a decorative aluminium rear panel all contribute to a highly successful makeover.

The chief attration: It is retrofittable with ELAC's renowned “4Pi” super tweeter.

The listener is convinced by the fresh, crystalline clarity of the music rendition and a precise, punchy bass that reaches up to 30 Hz. The finely resolved sound, with its very precise directional definition and its verve and dynamism- as well as its well-graduated sound depth generates pleasant spaciousness and an unusually large optimal listening zone.

X-JET coaxial and coplanar Midrange-Treble Driver System

The new X-JET II is a unique combination of a flat nomex honeycomb crystal membrane midrange ring radiator and a concentrically arranged JET III tweeter . By this the X-JET design realizes the vision of an acoustic 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 reproduction.

The ultra lightweight honeycomb diaphragm provides a reduced stray magnetic field combined with a strong neodymium drive. The system is driven by a 78 mm moving coil. High efficiency is achieved using coppered aluminium flat wire, edgewise-wound, on a ventilated capton bobbin.

The new X-JET system yields a upper cut-off frequency of 50 kHz. This makes the loudspeaker an ideal component for the reproduction of DVD-A and SACD.

Crystal membrane

The woobers of FS 607 CE contain the new "Crystal Membrane" (patent pending) and their design is based on the well-known "Aluminium-Sandwich AS Technology" which was developed by ELAC a couple of years ago.

The crystal-shaped inverse aluminium dome is joined to the paper cone in a special glueing process resulting the desired sandwich construction. Glueing procedure The stamping of the aluminium foil looks like the surface of a large crystal, this is where the term "Crystal Membrane" come from. This stamping stiffens the aluminium dome considerably which diminishes the membrane-internal resonances resulting in less sound coloration and additionally improves the large signal behaviour noticeably. The voice coil is not only - like usually - joined to the neck of the paper cone, but also to the bottom of the aluminium dome. This design results in the expansion of the transmission range of the respective woofers or midrange drivers by nearly an octave. Therefore the abbreviation "XR" (eXtended Range) has been introduced.

LLD Driver Technology

The new LLD driver technology (Long Linear Drive) is based on the movement of a short-wound coil (winding height: 6.5 mm) in a long air gap (height: 16 mm) with a homogeneous magnetic field. This design results in extremely linear (without distortions) movement within an amplitude of ±8 mm. The voice coil exactly mirrors the applied audio signal. The maximum displacement is an impressive ±16 mm.

ELAC’s new woofers use high-quality titanium bobbins for greater mechanical stability. This also reduces eddy-current losses and helps achieve deeper and more precise bass reproduction. Neodymium magnets are used to increase magnetic flux density and to save space, providing optimum magnetic field geometry and greater efficiency. Using several small magnetic plates reduces air noise and helps to keep the temperature low even under high load.

The "Crystal" aluminium sandwich woofers of the FS 609 CE, the FS 607 CE and the ELAC 330 CE use this new LLD driver technology.
