The ELAC FS 409.2 floorstanding loudspeaker is equipped with a JET VI ribbon tweeter. The ultralight tape membrane provides an instant response to the received signal, resulting in high sound accuracy. Another advantage of such a Twitter is a very wide frequency range with an upper limit of 50 kHz.
The rounded corners of the housing not only give the ELAC FS 408.2 an elegant appearance, but also eliminate sound distortion caused by acoustic wave diffraction.
The speaker body is tilted back at a slight angle. This ensures the most consistent sound of the drivers and aligns the stereo picture. The geometry of the case in cross-section is close to a trapezoid, the width of the slightly convex front panel exceeds the width of the rear wall. This solution makes it possible to effectively deal with internal resonances.
The model is a three-band design in which the main part of the frequency range is reproduced by a coaxial concentric driver consisting of a JET 5 ribbon radiator and a Ring Radiator midrange driver with an aluminum diffuser of a complex Crystal Membrane profile.
The speakers have a four-band configuration, which is also necessary in this market segment. A combined treble/midrange unit is installed in the upper part of the front panel of the ELAC Concentra S509, consisting of a concentrically arranged Jet 5 ribbon tweeter and a treble/midrange driver with a 130 mm aluminum diffuser.
