ELAC
JET Tweeters
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 developed 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 extraordinary 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
woofers of the 200 Series are designed in the ELAC proprietary aluminum
sandwich technique. In a special gluing procedure, an aluminum foil of
0.2mm is joint to a pulp fiber cone to form a sandwich membrane.
The result: reduced
partial oscillations, no distortions and an optimized large signal
behavior.
In
combination with the aluminum-colored tweeters, the aluminum sandwich
woofers also make innovative technology a visual experience.
