Hex Technology

Surround

Surround geometry allows for a very linear relationship between applied force and resulting displacement in both directions. This ensures faithful reproduction of the recorded signal with low distortion even at high playback volumes.

Wireless Ready

AirX2

All Reference Series Subwoofers have a wireless receiver built-in. Simply add the optional AirX2 Wireless transmitter, connect it to your AV receiver, and you can wirelessly transmit subwoofer information to up to 3 Reference Subwoofers simultaneously.

Subwoofer APP Control

Eliminate the challenges of placement

As the pioneer of APP-controlled subwoofers, all 7 Elac subwoofers include our 3rd generation APP control with auto room correction and easy setup of multiple subwoofers. Advanced APP Control – Doing away with traditional analog controls, our VARRO subwoofers incorporate our advanced digital control system. Simply download the ELAC Sub Control 3.0 app for your Android or iOS phone or tablet and you have complete control of multiple subwoofers from the comfort of your sofa.

Auto EQ

Explained

Placement of a subwoofer can be challenging. This is because typically they are placed in corners or hidden next to couches causing reflection, peaks or valleys. The principle of ELAC’s Auto EQ, is to remove the effect of the room by making a near field measurement and comparing it to a far field (listening position) measurement. Processing and detection is real time FFT ~1Hz resolution in the 20Hz .. 200Hz band. We measure both near field and far field, compare the measurements and with 16 internal PEQs we remove/minimize any large variances relative to the near field measurement. This allows a greater degree of freedom for placing the subwoofer where it meets all requirements.

Auto Room EQ

Auto EQ

Finding the perfect location for your subwoofer can be difficult or just not visually appealing. Utilizing our new Sub Control 3.0 app and your smartphone microphone, the subwoofer will optimize room EQ automatically, allowing greater flexibility in placement without sacrificing performance.

 

DSP

Digital Signal Processor

A dual 28-Bit DSP with a 147mHz master clock frequency is utilized to process audio signals with high accuracy and minimum latency.

Amplification

BASH Amplifier

All seven models utilize BASH technology. Simply put, there is no better amplifier for subwoofers. Its tracking voltage means that the amplifiers can be designed with maximum voltage swing, providing all the power that is needed and additional dynamic power without thermal penalty. ELAC subwoofers play louder than the competition for a given power. That is because higher voltage allows higher power as, inevitably, the impedance of a driver increases with frequency. More power + compelling dynamic = better subwoofers!

VARRO Subwoofers

BOLD - POWERFUL - DYNAMIC

VARRO is a male-given name and is of Latin origin. It means durable and strong. What better name to introduce a line of ELAC subwoofers designed for total performance and ready to excel and compete at all levels.
