System composition
This bundle pairs a matched set of Elac Debut 3.0 bookshelf speakers with a dedicated 15 inch powered subwoofer. The two-way bass reflex satellites use a 5.25 inch aramid fiber woofer and custom aluminum tweeter. The subwoofer adds a sealed 15 inch driver driven by a 250W RMS Class D amplifier. Together they form a full-range stereo system for music and home theatre.
Sustained output behaviour
The bookshelf units cover 48 to 38Khz while the subwoofer extends low-frequency response down to 25Hz. The subwoofer’s sealed cabinet is designed for precise transient response during extended listening sessions. User-adjustable volume, phase and auto on/off controls let the system maintain integration with the main speakers at consistent levels over time.
Build and connectivity
Both components share a black ash finish and compact bookshelf dimensions of 6.8 width by 12.2 height by 10.5 depth. The subwoofer provides LFE and high-level inputs for flexible integration with amplifiers or AV receivers. Sealed cabinet construction on the subwoofer reduces port noise and simplifies placement near walls or furniture.
