Vela 2.0

The new VELA line is a striking illustration of how design and function can be harmonized. Decorative aluminum elements transform the technical components of the loudspeakers into visual highlights. Sight and sound combined into a duality of delight.

The most striking acoustic innovation is the JET 6 tweeter. A hallmark of ELAC for over three decades, the current version offers fast, detailed and refined performance.

Combined with a newly developed Crystal Membrane woofer with custom designed cast chassis, the new Vela series further solidifies ELACs commitment to excellence in audio.

JET 6 TWEETER

Engineered and designed in Kiel, Germany, the JET 6 Air Motion Transformer tweeter offers a wide frequency response (Up to 50kHz), low distortion, and remarkable clarity in reproducing the high-frequency spectrum, contributing to a more immersive and detailed audio experience for listeners.

DOWNWARD FIRING PORT

The bass reflex port on the Solano series is designed to exit downward from the bottom of the speaker cabinet, allowing for greater flexibility in speaker placement and reducing ventilation noise.

ALUMINUM SANDWICH WOOFER

This specialized construction brings forth a myriad of benefits, starting with its rigidity and lightweight nature. By leveraging the inherent qualities of aluminum, these woofers effectively minimize unwanted resonances and distortions, ensuring a remarkably clear and accurate sound reproduction.
