ELAC Debut Series Available In Oz

Synergy Audio Visual has brought the ELAC Debut series, comprising bookshelf and floor-standing speakers and subwoofers, to the Australian market.

The series was designed by engineer Andrew Jones, with Jones stating that it “delivers superior performance thanks to custom-made key components, with no off-the-shelf parts”.

“Unlike many more expensive speakers that mix parts-bin drivers, bare-bones crossovers and generic cabinets, every ELAC speaker is built from a clean-sheet design,” Jones stated.

Synergy managing director Philip Sawyer stated that the range “will challenge consumers’ expectations about affordable loudspeakers forever”.

“With a distinct look, unparalleled performance that rivals speakers which cost thousands of dollars more, high-end audio is no longer just for the audiophiles,” Sawyer commented.

Delivering “incredibly accurate life-like sound from a compact enclosure”, the Debut speakers are made from lightweight, weather-resistant aramid fibre, with each speaker custom-made to control sound dispersion and minimise vibrations.

The woofers feature a BASH amplifier, outputting voltage for dynamic-sounding movie and music, intelligently detecting audio signals to help conserve energy with an auto power on/off, with the subwoofers controllable by smartphone via Bluetooth and the AutoEQ app for iOS and Android.
