Meet Vela
Built on 95+ Years of Audio Excellence
We have taken our iconic 400 series and reimagined it, bringing a modern contemporary design inspired by the Life of Sound!
A refined design, yet traditionally ELAC: • Crystal membrane woofer with extended frequency range
• Jet 5 tweeter offering wide dynamic range
• Bi-wiring configuration to enhance midrange
• Die cast bottom plate with integrated double flanged down-firing bass reflex port
• Convex baffle shape reducing reflections

Design Goals
What has Changed?
Our goal was to build on the success of the iconic Elac 400 series
We wanted to maintain its heritage and sound characteristics with a modern contemporary design yet unmistakably Elac.
Our key objectives were :
• Change the base, make the port tube invisible
• Give some shape and add material to beautify
• Use die cast baskets with diamond cut but remove rectangular metal around driver
• Use improved crystal woofer and Jet 5
• Preserve the traditional look but modernize it

The inimitable JET tweeter
JET 5
ELAC’s JET tweeter is used throughout our loudspeaker range.
This high-frequency driver enthralls with its lightning-fast response and wide dynamic range, offering minimal distortion, lots of headroom and a distinctly wider frequency range than conventional dome tweeters. The ELAC JET tweeter is one of the most legendary tweeters in the industry and has won international praise with its transparent and effortless sound image.
Designed and manufactured in Kiel, Germany.

AS-XR Technology
Crystal Membrane
Aluminum Sandwich Membrane with Extended frequency range
The The eye-catching surface of the crystal membrane is more than just an attractive design feature.
• Increased stiffness through crystal shape of aluminum cone
• Extended frequency range (XR), smooth roll-off
• Excellent large signal behaviour
• Minimized VAS, (lot of bass out of small cabinets)

Product Family
Vela
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.
