Elac Vela BS 403.2 Bookshelf Speaker (White Finish)

Description

A complex design, high-class lacquered and wooden veneered cabinets, which have a trapezoid shape and are angled rearward. The design catches eyes but conduces acoustics, too. The sound of VELA shows its family background to successful series 400. But the advantages are distinct. The angling of the cabinet in combination with the new wave-guide of the JET tweeter improves the definition of stereo and multi-channel audio in modern furnishing. But there are more than the obvious changes. For example the optimized drivers are able to reproduce high-energy transients more precisely.

Features

40 to 200W Recommended Amplifier Power

With a recommended amplifier power range of 40 to 200 watts, the speaker offers remarkable flexibility in system matching. Whether paired with a modest integrated amplifier or a more powerful high-current unit, it maintains composure, clarity, and dynamic authority. This wide power handling capability ensures clean performance at both low listening levels and high-volume sessions without strain.

2-Way Speaker Design

The refined 2-way configuration ensures seamless integration between the woofer and tweeter, delivering a balanced and coherent soundstage. By dedicating specific frequency ranges to each driver, the design achieves excellent clarity in vocals, detailed highs, and controlled low frequencies, making it suitable for both music enthusiasts and home theater setups.

5.9" AS XR Cone Woofer

The 5.9-inch AS XR cone woofer is engineered for precision and speed. Its rigid yet lightweight aluminum sandwich construction enhances bass definition while minimizing distortion. The result is tight, articulate low frequencies and a natural midrange that retains tonal accuracy even during complex musical passages.

JET 5 Folded-Ribbon Tweeter

Equipped with the renowned JET 5 folded-ribbon tweeter, the speaker delivers lightning-fast transient response and exceptional high-frequency extension. Known for its transparency and effortless detail retrieval, the JET 5 produces airy, open highs with minimal distortion, extending the listening experience well beyond conventional dome tweeters.

41 Hz to 50 kHz Frequency Response

With an impressive frequency response ranging from 41 Hz to 50 kHz, the speaker captures everything from deep, resonant bass notes to ultra-fine high-frequency details. This extended range ensures a rich, full-bodied sound presentation with remarkable depth and spatial accuracy.

Down-Firing Port

The down-firing bass reflex port enhances low-frequency reinforcement while offering greater flexibility in room placement. By directing airflow downward, it reduces sensitivity to rear-wall positioning and promotes smoother bass distribution, making installation easier in various listening environments.

Form Supports Function

The elegantly convex-shaped baffle and large cabinet radii are not merely aesthetic choices they are acoustically purposeful. These design elements reduce diffraction and minimize cabinet-induced coloration, allowing the drivers to perform with greater accuracy. By limiting the cabinet’s influence on frequency response, the speaker achieves a cleaner, more natural sonic presentation.

Close to Action

An aluminum bottom plate houses the down-firing bass reflex port, combining structural stability with acoustic efficiency. This configuration allows the speaker to be positioned closer to walls without compromising bass performance. The thoughtful engineering ensures enhanced placement flexibility while maintaining tight and controlled low-frequency output.

Flexible Connectivity

Designed with versatility in mind, the Vela series supports both bi-wiring and bi-amping configurations. Its flexible connection terminals allow users to separate high and low-frequency signals for improved signal purity and dynamic control. This feature offers enthusiasts the opportunity to further refine system performance according to their listening preferences.
