Custom Design
Satin-painted, elegant, and acoustically balanced 35mm cabinet. Damped and internally braced to eliminate unwanted resonance for maximum performance
Custom Driver
Aluminum sandwich cone with a large 2.5” voice coil for increased power handling and thermal management, resulting in higher output and SPL.
BASH Amplifier
All seven models utilize BASH technology. Simply put, there is no better amplifier for subwoofers. Its tracking voltage means that the amplifiers can be designed with maximum voltage swing, providing all the power that is needed and additional dynamic power without thermal penalty. ELAC subwoofers play louder than the competition for a given power. That is because higher voltage allows higher power as, inevitably, the impedance of a driver increases with frequency. More power + compelling dynamic = better subwoofers!
DSP Digital Signal Processor
A dual 28-Bit DSP with a 147mHz master clock frequency is utilized to process audio signals with high accuracy and minimum latency.
HEX Technology
These new high excursion woofers utilize a rigid and lightweight aluminum cone sandwiched between two treated paper cones using a unique gluing process. This method retains the transient benefits of cellulose cones with the torsional rigidity of aluminum and allows for exceptionally long cone throws for better handling of high signal levels and low bass.
Wireless Ready
All Reference Series Subwoofers have a wireless receiver built-in. Simply add the optional AirX2 Wireless transmitter (sold separately), connect it to your AV receiver, and you can wirelessly transmit subwoofer information to up to 3 Reference Subwoofers simultaneously.
Subwoofer APP Control
As the pioneer of APP-controlled subwoofers, all 7 Elac subwoofers include Elac’s 3rd generation APP control with auto room correction and easy setup of multiple subwoofers. Advanced APP Control – Doing away with traditional analog controls, Elac’s VARRO subwoofers incorporate their advanced digital control system. Simply download the ELAC Sub Control 3.0 app for your Android or iOS phone or tablet and you have complete control of multiple subwoofers from the comfort of your sofa.
Auto EQ
Finding the perfect location for your subwoofer can be difficult or just not visually appealing. Utilizing Elac’s new Sub Control 3.0 app and your smartphone microphone, the subwoofer will optimize room EQ automatically, allowing greater flexibility in placement without sacrificing performance.
