Does the Debut B5 change the game for bookshelf speakers? Absolutely. It's not just its size-to-performance ratio that sets a new standard. The B5 may be the best value in the world of affordable speakers, with sound that surpasses speakers costing many times more.

2015 The Absolute Sound Product of The Year Winner

The Show Newport 2015 coverage. Best Sound (for the money): The Andrew-Jones-designed ELAC Debut B5 may not only be the greatest bargain at the Newport show, but may turn out to be the greatest bargain in the history of audio. This tiny econo-box was spectacularly, stunningly, amazingly great for the price. I can’t wait to hear the higher-end speakers Jones is developing for ELAC. – Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound, April 2015.

Custom-Designed Woofer With Aramid-Fiber Cone

Aramid fiber is employed in the woofers of all ELAC Debut passive speaker systems. Aramid fiber offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio and improved damping characteristics over conventional paper or plastic drivers. This added strength means arriving at designs that achieve a broader bandwidth with smoother response.

Cabinet Engineered For Sound

Every ELAC enclosure is engineered for the long run with thick MDF outer walls and a luxurious textured vinyl finish.

Silk-Dome Tweeter With Deep-Spheroid Custom Waveguide

The waveguide surrounding the new ELAC high-frequency driver features a custom, deep spheroid profile to improve directivity control and shield the dome tweeter from cabinet diffraction modes inherent in traditional box enclosures.

Gold Plated 5-Way Binding Posts

5 - Way binding posts are utilized allowing for a wide variety of connection possibilities. Gold plating has been applied for improved connectivity.

Dual Flared Vent

All ELAC speakers employ a dual flared vent to greatly reduce air turbulence which can cause unwanted noise.

Sophisticated Crossover

An intricate 8 - element crossover optimizes performance and blending between the drivers for superior accuracy.
