ELAC BS 184

"Universal artists, endowed with musical sensitivity. For a fairly modest price, you get advantages of more expensive speakers." "... Put a live album by Patricia Kaas, and you will see that they are spiritually rich and transmit voice, even in this flawed record - except that sibilants could be a little quieter. On the other hand, it is the sharpness of execution coupled with the ability to penetrate the emotional essence of the songs that makes BS184 truly universal! satellite music lover." WHAT HI-FI (Russia) review

"Incredibly, the power and vitality sprayed by Elac BS 184..." "...on the Elac, one could not escape the impression of a freshly cleaned window pane." "Balanced-clear, very dynamic and enormously alive playing loudspeaker." "Well-balanced with a slightly decreasing, but extensive bass... THD continuously at a low level in bass, amazing reserves." AUDIO (Germany) review

Treble Unit

JET III used in all 180 Series range.

The ELAC JET tweeter is one of the most legendary tweeters in the hi-fi trade and has won international renown with its unusual transparent and effortless sound image.

The JET tweeter was delveloped to perfection on the basis of the famous 'Air Motion Transformer' by loudpseaker pioneer Dr Oskar Heil. Its principle: a concertinaed foil membrane is driven by a strong magnet system of neodymium rods.

This 'motor' drives the air considerably faster than the conventional pistonic technique. High sensitivity and extraordiary dynamics are the result. Due to continuous improvement, the JET III tweeter now creates an effortless and airy resonance-free image up to 50,000 Hz, and with its linear frequency response is ideally suited for the reproduction of DVD-A and SACD.

The ELAC "JET Dispersion Control DC" is a flat ring made of open-cell rubber foam which is mounted around the JET orifice with four clasps (or with adhesive tape).

The JET DC results in a broadband reduction of about 0.5 dB of the radiated sound level nearly independent of frequency. The JET DC is best suited for rooms with little sound absorption at high frequencies, especially for rooms with large windows without curtains or with a smooth floor without a carpet.

Note: The loudspeakers of the 180 series are not supplied with the JET Dispersion Control - it is an optional accessory.

Midbass Unit

TT 175 AS midbass used in BS 184 and FS 189

The design of the woofers of the 180 series are based on the aluminium-sandwich technique. The wide rubber surrounding and the aerodynamic optimised - providing best air-flow - frame together with the spider being vented at both sides result in an extra large maximum membrane excursion.
The 31mm diameter voice coil and the powerful magnetic system increase the force factor - more efficiency - and by this the load limit is increased and consequently the deficiency rate decreased.
