ELAC Carina Bookshelf Speakers; BS243.4; Pair

Product Description:

Blending contemporary aesthetics with extraordinary sound.

Elevating its performance, Carina upholds ELAC’s legacy by incorporating the JET tweeter, renowned for its remarkable clarity, dynamics, and attack.

In tandem with this capability, a newly crafted proprietary compound curvature aluminum-coned woofer, developed in-house, harmoniously integrates through a sophisticated multi-element crossover. The result is an immersive, lifelike sound experience. A fusion of modern aesthetics and enhanced sound quality, the new Carina is poised to strengthen ELAC's class-leading reputation.

JET Folded Air-Motion-Transformer

Experience genuine high-definition audio as ELAC's JET tweeters captivate with lightning-fast response and an expansive dynamic range. These tweeters provide minimal distortion, ample headroom, and an extended frequency range. Renowned as one of the industry's legendary tweeters, the ELAC JET tweeter has earned international acclaim for its transparent and effortless sound image.

Compound Curvature Aluminum Woofer

Partnering with the excellence of the JET tweeter, ELAC creates a seamless transition from the woofer through the advancement of the compound curvature cone. This innovative design ensures a harmonious integration, enhancing the overall audio experience. Engineered to control cone breakup and extend beyond the woofer's operating range, it guarantees seamless integration. A sizable diameter voice coil, coupled with an oversized vented pole piece magnet, synergizes to deliver impressive bass dynamics and a compellingly rich, powerful performance.

Downward Firing Port

Enhancing speaker placement flexibility and minimizing ventilation noise, the Carina series ingeniously directs the bass reflex port downward, exiting from the bottom of the speaker cabinet in a down-firing configuration. This design choice optimizes both acoustics and practicality for an improved listening experience.
