Elac telex 67

plusHighly detailed, very transparent box for windnear enterprise

plusBasic clay/tone is inclined somewhat thinly to coolness and distance.



 
Oberklasse
(70 Punkte)

Budget loudspeakers around 700 euros, which come also with adverse circumstances clearly, are rare. In addition also the ELAC telex 67 belongs.

Other manufacturers afford a true box gallery for each series, ELAC had in the favorable 60's-line up so far only one condition box in the repertoire: the telex 68. With a more delicate figure than the telex 68 scores now the telex 67, which brings ELAC for 600 euros on the market.

Elac telex 67< Photo: Photo: H.Härle: ELAC sets on single Wiring and two unverrundete, large reflex pipes

Two cone drivers with aluminum paper sand yielding diaphragm in the minimalistic 14-Zentimeter-Format swing two rear, not rounded reflex pipes on their front, support into the lowest audible Oktave. Already starting from 2200 Hertz the 25-Millimeter-Kalotte can take over; Diaphragm and moving coil carriers pulled here from a piece aluminum, which guarantees best heat dissipation and highest maximum stress. Including a flat sound guidance unit the Hochtöner disappears behind the bars - protects against child hands and cat claws and is already taken into consideration into the tonal vote. This follows the ELAC principle of the constant sound power level distribution, whereby the sound delivered exactly on axle is not only considered actual also as unverfärbter a diffuse sound as possible in the hearing area is produced. So that the radiation turns out optimally refraction-free, the box is approximately clearly rounded around the Hochtöner, which permits a gentle diffraction to the acoustic waves.

A technical characteristic: The FS 67 floorstand is laid out as pure 6-Ohm-Box, which it apart from its tidy efficiency to secrettap for owners of older, not so read-stable amplifier make might. Whom the Haptik of the black matte version does not please, that knows a shining variant in dark Kirschnachbildung orders.

Sound

The ELAC telex 67 did in Glinkas „Ruslan and Ludmilla ““- overture (AUDIO pure music one, Bose) with fresh and transparent tone qualities out. It played with almost monitorful accuracy. The Weavers worked however in their minimalistic Liveversion of „Rambling Boy “(„Reunion Concert “, Analogue Production) already remarkably slim, nearly expenditure-lived, the along-singing public began in the Refrain rather metallically.

To the list: The ELAC received the necessary basic clay/tone in windnear position.
