Elac C5.2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Debut 2.0™ Series by Andrew Jones.

Everything we do is dierent.

Few speakers have garnered such critical acclaim as the original Debut Series by ELAC. They established a new value proposition, with build quality and performance never before attainable at such an aordable price. Debut “changed the game,” and has now changed it again with the Debut

2.0 Series—proof that ELAC can’t leave well enough alone. Redesigned from the ground up, they sound even more remarkable than the speakers that sparked the revolution in high-end sound.

Debut C5.2 Aramid-Fiber Center-Channel Speaker

Paint a panoramic sonic landscape.

To make a life-sized impression, a full-blown surround system needs a center channel just as formidable as the frontchannel speakers. The new Debut C5.2 paints a majestic soundstage that makes movies and music come alive. New dual front ports allow placement in cabinets or against the wall without aecting bass frequencies.

DEBUT 2.0 SERIES FEATURES

All-New Design—All-New Debut! Everything about Debut 2.0 has been improved, including completely redesigned custom drivers that deliver greater accuracy, and robust cabinets for even higher resolution and freedom from resonances.

New Tweeter with Wide-Dispersion Waveguide A new silk-dome tweeter features a wide-roll surround and takes response up to 35,000 Hz for even more lifelike high frequencies. The waveguide improves directivity control and eliminates the diraction modes inherent in traditional box enclosures.

New Woven Aramid-Fiber Woofers Revised aramid cones oer even greater stiness and damping, far superior to polypropylene or paper. The added strength allows more ﬂexibility in design to achieve a smoother, extended low-frequency response.

New Cabinets for Easier Placement

Thick MDF cabinets with a luxurious textured black ash ﬁnish are larger, and internally braced for greater stiness and strength, greatly reducing cabinet vibrations that cause unwanted coloration. Moving the bass port to the front of the cabinet means placement against walls or in bookshelves won’t compromise performance.
