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 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.
Compact 2.5-way floorstanding speakers. Low-frequency drivers with a diameter of 150 mm with combined AS diffusers mounted on a cast basket. JET 6 branded AMT ribbon tweeter of the new generation. The crossover is made of selected components.
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.
