Are you ready to elevate your audio experience to a whole new level? Meet the ELAC Navis ARB-51, the active bookshelf speaker that’s not just a pretty face. With its stunning design and powerhouse performance, this speaker is the ultimate dream for minimalist audiophiles who refuse to compromise on sound quality. Imagine immersing yourself in rich, detailed audio that makes every note come alive-without the clutter of traditional setups. Let’s dive into what makes the Navis ARB-51 a must-have for your home audio system!
Unmatched Power and Clarity
What sets the Navis ARB-51 apart from the crowd? It’s all about the power! Unlike most powered speakers that rely on Class D digital designs, ELAC engineers have packed in a whopping 300 watts of pure analog amplification. This means you get maximum power and exceptional sound quality that will make your favorite tracks sound better than ever. Whether you’re jamming to your favorite playlist or enjoying a movie night, the Navis ARB-51 delivers a listening experience that’s nothing short of spectacular.
Tri-Amp Pure Analog Amplifier
Inside each Navis speaker, you’ll find a Tri-Amp Pure Analog Amplifier that employs three separate amps for each transducer. This includes a 160-watt BASH AB amplifier for the woofer, a 100-watt BASH AB amplifier for the midrange, and a 40-watt Class AB amplifier for the tweeter. With a total amplifier power of 300 watts, each transducer is optimally powered, eliminating clipping and crossover distortion. You’ll enjoy a signal-to-noise ratio of 110 dBA and a noise floor of just 100 uV-specs that only audiophile-quality amps can deliver!
Flexible Connections for Every Setup
Worried about compatibility? Don’t be! The Navis ARB-51 offers a variety of local inputs, including balanced XLR, RCA, and wireless options. When paired with ELAC’s Discovery Connect wireless transmitter, you can stream your favorite content from platforms like Spotify, Bluetooth, AirPlay, and Roon without a single cable in sight. Just switch the Wireless “Off” for a no-compromise analog input and output. It’s versatility at its finest!
Stunning Design Meets Functionality
Let’s talk aesthetics. The Navis ARB-51 isn’t just about sound; it’s also a visual delight. Its elegant design integrates seamlessly with any interior, boasting a fine-furniture finish available in Gloss Black, Gloss White, and Wood Veneer. Plus, a dedicated floor stand is recommended for optimum performance, ensuring that your speakers not only sound great but look fabulous too!
Custom Designed Midrange/Tweeter for Natural Sound
One of the standout features of the Navis ARB-51 is its in-house developed transducer. The 4-inch aluminum midrange driver, combined with a concentrically mounted 1-inch soft-dome tweeter, creates a signature configuration that sets the performance standard for its class. This unique design allows the Navis to produce sound that feels natural and immersive, making you feel like you’re right in the middle of the action.
