Elac Debut Reference DBR62 - Bookshelf Speaker (Pair)

Details:

Magic is back with Elac 6-1 / 2 Debut Reference. Andrew Jones continues to offer innovative speakers with excellent value for money. He created the "Debut" series when he joined Elac. Debut enjoyed growing success and it was useful to evolve this series. The "Debut Reference" range brings significant advances on the acoustic and visual level. Designed to blend in with traditional or contemporary styles.Debut and Debut 2.0 speakers were criticized for having an ordinary design. Andrew Jones got it right and the Debut Reference series takes on a new, more refined aesthetic. Fortunately, the musicality has also been the subject of special attention to be, too, improved.

The finishes are available in two versions: a satin white front with light wood cladding and a satin black front with dark wood veneer. The grid is held in place by magnets, which are easier to fix than with traditional fixings.

On the front, the vent adopts a rectangular section and could almost go unnoticed: it allows to obtain better bass dynamics and lower noise. The construction of the cabinet is completely new and, unlike other versions of the Debut series, it is given the same priority as the speakers and filter. The cabinet has thicker panels and full interior bracing to reduce vibration and staining.

The loudspeakers are improved with, in particular, for the tweeter, a new waveguide to avoid diffraction and a new grille which has more open holes. The Elac DBR62 enclosure accommodates a midrange / bass speaker which receives a new die-cast aluminum bowl to eliminate resonances due to the mass of the oversized love that flexes the chassis, while further strengthening the cabinet.
For the filter, the components remain the same, but the integration has been changed: 11 elements which improve the linearity of the frequency response and control the off-axis response.
The dimensions of the DBR62 remain of course "classic" for a bookshelf speaker, which can thus be easily integrated into your listening space.
The musicality of the new Debut Reference lives up to its new name of "Reference". The integration of the speakers and the transfer between frequencies are smoother and more linear. The balance between all frequencies is more balanced. The bass tuning is excellent, especially in this price range. The highs are more extended than before the Debut 2.0 series, but not at all harsh, just more airy and delicate.
