ELAC
VELA Series

Form supports function –
the convex shaped baffl e
and the big radiuses of the
cabinet promote the acoustics
because infl uences of cabinet
to frequency response are
reduced.
.

Close to action – the bottom
plate is made of aluminum and
is featured with a down-fi ring
bass refl ex port which gives
advantages in positioning the
speaker.

Ready for connection –
thanks to it´s connections
Vela series offers possibi­lity of using bi-wiring and
bi-amping.

Exciting, progressive and elegant
– the new VELA series.

A complex design: high-class lacquered and wooden
veneered cabinets, which have a trapezoid shape and
are angled rearward, combined with aluminum and
glass.

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 waveguide of
the JET tweeter improves the defi nition of stereo and
multichannel 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.
