The new ELAC Debut ConneX powered speakers, one is active and one passive, are more than powered speakers as they also house a DAC and phono/line input. Just add source(s).
In addition to the digital inputs (24-bit/96kHz capable USB and Toslink) and switchable MM Phono or Line input, the ELAC Debut ConneX add an HDMI ARC input so you can control the ConneX’s volume with your ARC-compatible TV’s remote, and a Subwoofer out if you desire more woof! beyond their 50Hz low-end in-room response. Throw in aptX Bluetooth connectivity, and you have a family and friend friendly package.
A 4 1/2” long excursion Polypropylene woofer and 3/4” Soft Dome tweeter with a custom waveguide are powered by two acoustically matched 50-Watt Class D amplifiers.
The ConneX also includes ELAC’s proprietary and (user-defeatable) XBass Enhancer for more perceived oomph!
The ELAC Debut ConneX will be available in mid-September for a wallet-friendly $599.98 a pair.
