Product Description:

Sublime sound served up with serious power. | ELAC Navis ARB51 Powered Bookshelf Speakers

ELAC's latest Navis Series fulfills the aspirations of every minimalist audiophile. It embodies a no-compromise powered speaker, propelled by top-tier amplifiers that truly live up to the "high end" designation. In a departure from the prevalent Class D digital designs, ELAC engineers have integrated 300 watts of pure analog amplification, delivering unparalleled power and exceptional sound quality. Integrate the Discovery Connect wireless transmitter into your setup, and the Navis transforms into a wireless speaker, allowing you to savor streaming content seamlessly, without a cable in sight.

Powerful Trifecta

Within each Navis Bookshelf Loudspeaker resides a Tri-Amp Pure Analog Amplifier, employing three distinct amplifiers for each transducer. This includes a robust 160-watt BASH AB amplifier for the woofer, a dynamic 100-watt BASH AB amplifier for the midrange, and a precise 40-watt Class AB amplifier for the tweeter. The cumulative power of 300 watts ensures optimal and abundant power for each transducer, eradicating clipping and crossover distortion while empowering each component with authority. Specifications such as a remarkable 110 dBA signal-to-noise ratio and an impressive 100 uV noise floor are indicative of the audiophile-grade quality embedded in these amplifiers.

Custom-Designed Midrange/Tweeter

The natural and immersive sound of the Navis can be attributed to its in-house developed transducer, featuring a 4-inch aluminum midrange driver paired with a concentrically mounted 1-inch soft-dome tweeter. This unique configuration sets the performance standard for its class, allowing the Navis to deliver a signature sound that stands out.

All New Custom Designed Midrange/Tweeter

The Navis achieves its remarkably natural sound thanks to its proprietary transducer – a 4-inch aluminum midrange driver complemented by a concentrically mounted 1-inch soft-dome tweeter. This distinctive configuration, when combined, establishes a signature standard of performance for the Navis within its class.

Flexible Connections

The Navis offers versatile local inputs, including balanced XLR, RCA, and Wireless options. When paired with ELAC's Discovery Connect wireless transmitter, it allows seamless streaming of Discovery, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth, AirPlay, and Roon. Simply toggle Wireless "Off" for a no-compromise analog input and output, providing flexibility and catering to various preferences.
