ELAC DEBUT REFERENCE F5 (DFR52)

The ELAC Debut Reference DFR52 floorstanding speaker represents the perfect blend of advanced acoustic engineering and refined design, created to deliver an engaging and precise listening experience in any environment. Designed to fill the space with rich, dynamic, and lifelike sound, this model transforms every music or movie session into an immersive experience, faithfully reproducing the depth of powerful bass and the finesse of high frequencies with outstanding clarity and definition.

The 1-inch soft dome tweeter is paired with a newly developed waveguide and a more open grille design, significantly enhancing high-frequency response. This combination ensures airy, accurate, and natural reproduction of even the subtlest details. The woofer, built with a cast chassis and aramid fiber cone—materials selected for their exceptional stiffness and damping capability—strengthens the speaker’s front structure, minimizes internal resonances, and delivers deep, controlled, distortion-free bass. Compared to traditional materials such as paper or polypropylene, this solution offers dramatically improved precision and dynamic range.

The cabinet, crafted with premium finishes and designed to seamlessly integrate into any home space, features a full perimeter bracing system that securely connects the top, bottom, and side panels. This structural reinforcement limits unwanted vibrations and reduces cabinet-induced coloration, resulting in a purer and more faithful sound reproduction. Additionally, the triple dual-flared bass reflex ports enhance low-frequency performance by increasing bass output and reducing noise, yielding a more powerful and refined response.

Available in stylish finishes such as black baffle with walnut cabinet or white baffle with oak cabinet, the DFR52 merges contemporary aesthetics with high-quality construction. It demonstrates how exceptional performance and elegant design can coexist harmoniously in a speaker made for modern home environments.
