"The Kiel ELAC speakers are specialists in recent years has become tired, always new technical routes in Lautsprecherbau to go. As a synthesis and culmination of this development work has now FS ELAC 609 X-PI presented a speaker, a statement of the currently technically Feasible in Lautsprecherbau to understand. "

"ELAC is one of the last classic German manufacturers. ... Technical highlights include the some time produced 4Pi-round spotlight and the new Jet Koaxialtreiber. In the high-end 600 series boxes, these high-tech converters with the equally completely self-designed mid / bass combined. "

Gray Eminence

"ELAC deliberately abandoned to the cozy wood design and offers the FS 609 X-PI in two colors Silver Shadow and Shadow of Titan, through an absolutely perfect finish shine. The curved side walls and the Topplatte ... the base plate made of aluminum are ".

"A glance at the innards of the box displays an extensive bracing and Verstrebung to stabilize ..."
"... A design with curved side walls, which are verstrebt, brings to the massive construction with wood sides a clear increase in housing volume, in turn, of course, what better bass playing is ..."
"The three are mid / bass aluminum Vollkonuschassis ..."

Drivers Technology

"The 18 centimeters in diameter Tieftontreiber are in a technology referred to as LLD executed. This abbreviation stands for 'Long Linear Drive' and refers to the construction, in a fairly short voice coil in one by the special design with concentric arranged Neodymium magnets very homogeneous Magnetic field moves, so that a gigantic linear stroke of + / - 8 millimeters can be achieved. Overall, the chassis to a stroke of + / - 16 millimeters capable. "

"The chassis, which also serves the frequencies, is a coaxial and koplaner transducer designed. In this ELAC-exclusive design is central and tweeters not only on one axis, but also on a plane, which is the greatest closer to the ideal of a point source represents. "

"The Mid-JET consists of a flat annular aluminum honeycomb membrane, with a 78 millimeter diameter voice coil is connected.> 2500 hertz, the famous JET III tweeter, the frequency range up to 50 kilohertz."
"The spotlight has 4Pi around a ring-shaped ribbon that the sound energy is absolutely evenly distributed in space. The extra tweeter can be equipped with a rotary switch with various frequencies added or totally disabled."

Music

"These breathtaking technique details everything remains the crucial question: Sounds like the whole thing too? The answer is a resolute yes, more precisely Jas ..."

"The first Hörrunde denied the FS 609 X-PI without the extra tweeter. This results from the first piece of music to create the impression of controlled energy and cleanliness. Each tone is obviously in his place."

"The bass ... When pieces, with their bass violence is familiar, you suddenly discovered that ... allertiefste sounds are produced ..."

"The FS 609 is in the best sense of neutral transducer, which played music signal dazuerfindet nothing but no information unterschlägt. Resemblance to a pattern of very good studio monitors here is not from one country to another and certainly not entirely unintentional."

"Enables you now 4Pi tweeter, it seems suddenly another box to play with a radiant charm in the listening room conjures up. ... This is not at the expense of accuracy or neutrality. Hochtonschallenergie The higher in space is clearly noticeable, a Übertonung highs will still not take place. "

"The dramatic effect of 4Pi tweeter is however a dramatic further into the depths opening stage. To win this is already nearly perfect box still difficult to brief and not to be measured atmosphere, the difference between a good and a total outstanding speaker. "

Conclusion

"Technique, which thrilled. ELACs state-of-the-art box FS 609 X-PI can do anything that other good transducer also can only do it so effortless and sovereign. This comes as the icing on the cake simply by knob switchable this fascination Exceptional speaker. The FS 609 X-PI is our new stereo speaker reference. "
