ELAC VELA BS403 Bookshelf Speakers

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 it´s 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.

A complex design: high-class lacquered and wooden veneered cabinets, which have a trapezoid shape and are angled rearward, combined with aluminum.  The design catches eyes but conduces acoustics, too.  The sound of VELA shows it´s family background to
successful series 400.

But the advantages are distinct. The angling of the cabinet in combination with the new waveguide of the JET tweeter improves the defi nition of stereo and multichannel 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.

Form supports function –
the convex shaped baffle and the big radiuses of the cabinet promote the acoustics because infl uences of cabinet to frequency response are reduced.

Close to action – the bottom plate is made of aluminum and is featured with a down-firing bass reflex port which gives advantages in positioning the speaker.

Ready for connection –
thanks to it´s connections Vela series offers possibility of using bi-wiring and bi-amping.

“…Rarely does such a highly advanced tweeter and mid/bass driver come together in such a small enclosure that is as acoustically smart as it is beautifully constructed.”
