Carina Design Goals
ELAC’s goal was to build on the success of the Elac 240 series. They wanted a that maintain the heritage, with a modern contemporary design yet unmistakably ELAC. The key objectives were :
- Develop new driver designs to offer differentiation
- Give some shape and add material to beautify
- Use die cast baskets with diamond cut but remove rectangular metal around driver
- Use JET Technology
- Maintain a family look
- Preserve the traditional look but modernize it
Carina, the results
The designers have taken the 240 series and reimagined it, bringing a modern contemporary design inspired by the Life of Sound! The simple, yet striking Carina Series, offers more than just remarkable sound.
A refined design, yet traditionally Elac
Carina, the benefits
- Aluminum woofer with extended frequency range
- Jet Folded Ribbon Tweeter offering wide dynamic range
- Bi-wiring configuration to enhance midrange
- Die cast bottom plate with integrated double flanged down-firing bass port
- Convex baffle shape reducing reflections
Aluminum Woofer – Compound Curvature Cone
Utilizing a single piece cone construction with compound curvature, the cone has been optimized for extended response and pure piston operation throughout its operating range, to seamlessly blend with the JET tweeter.
A rigid cast chassis supports an oversize magnet with large vented pole piece to maximize drive force, minimize non-linearity and provide increased power handling and dynamic impact.
Air Motion Tweeter JET
Delivering true high-definition sound, ELACs JET tweeters have been at the forefront of tweeter performance, providing extended high frequency response, wide directivity and high efficiency for lightning-fast response and wide dynamic range.
Downward Firing Port
The die cast double flanged super silent bass reflex port on Carina faces downwards, exiting the bottom of the speaker cabinet to be redirected outwards, minimizing vent noise and allowing for a more flexible speaker placement.
Floor standing models have rear and down firing ports to deliver incredible low end extension.
