Elac F6 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Debut series

by Andrew Jones.

New additions to a family of performers.

ELAC Debut series continues to change the sonic landscape with a range of loudspeakers that are making waves in the audiophile community, like the B5 bookshelf that has already won acclaim as The Absolute Sound Product of the Year.

Now, Debut adds two models—a ﬂagship ﬂoorstander and an even smaller bookshelf, so there’s no excuse

not to have Debut sound in your system. Breaking new ground, the ELAC Debut series delivers superior performance thanks to custom made key components, with no key o-the-shelf parts. Unlike many more expensive speakers that mix parts-bin drivers, bare-bones crossovers and generic cabinets—every ELAC speaker is built from a clean-sheet design.

The ELAC Debut Series is 100-percent designed by Andrew Jones at ELAC’s dedicated Southern California engineering facility. Debut includes bookshelf, ﬂoorstanding, center-channel and Dolby Atmos models, complemented by a full range of powered subwoofers. Each one will change your expectations about aordable loudspeakers forever, and each model in the Debut series establishes a value proposition—with build quality and spectacular performance—that goes beyond every other speaker in its class.

Debut F6

The Benchmark

The Debut F6 loudspeaker combines the advanced drivers of the B6 bookshelf in a ﬂoorstanding 3-way, bass reﬂex design that takes Debut performance to the limit. With sound that rivals speakers costing many times more, the F6 shows that quality components and superior engineering are a winning combination every time. Combine with a Debut powered subwoofer for a truly stunning audio system.

Debut B4

Less is More

The Debut B4 harnesses the performance of Debut’s larger 2-way, bass reﬂex bookshelf speakers and delivers it up in a compact enclosure that will have you guessing how Andrew Jones gets so much accurate, life-like sound from such a tiny box. Use them as the perfect two-channel solution for smaller rooms, or as the building blocks for a compact surround-sound home entertainment system.

Debut Features

Custom-Designed Drivers with Aramid-Fiber Cones

Aramid ﬁber is employed in the woofers of all ELAC Debut passive speaker systems. Aramid ﬁber oers a superior strength-to-weight ratio and improved damping characteristics over conventional paper or plastic drivers. This added strength means arriving at designs that achieve a broader bandwidth with smoother response.

Silk-Dome Tweeter with Deep-Spheroid Custom Waveguide

The waveguide surrounding the new ELAC high-frequency driver features a custom, deep spheroid proﬁle to improve directivity control and shield the dome tweeter from cabinet diraction modes inherent in traditional box enclosures.

Intricate Cossover

A custom multi-element crossover with high-grade components in each speaker ensures smooth transition between the drivers.

Robust Cabinets

Every ELAC enclosure is engineered for the long run with thick MDF outer walls and a luxurious textured vinyl ﬁnish. The cabinet of the F6 incorporates specially designed internal bracing to add stiness and strength to the cabinet’s outer walls. This bracing greatly reduces cabinet vibration, which causes unwanted coloration to the sound. ELAC believes that the only parts of a speaker that should be moving are the speaker drivers themselves.

Superior Build Quality

Count the parts and look at them closely. These don’t look like the components that go in such competitively priced speakers, but rather, speakers that cost much more.
