ELAC NAVIS ARF-51

The ELAC Navis ARF51 floorstanding speaker is the result of a completely new design, created to deliver top-tier audio performance in an all-in-one active system with an elegant and compact aesthetic. Every component has been engineered to provide a monitor-grade listening experience, featuring ELAC’s concentric driver technology that ensures exceptionally precise and natural midrange and high-frequency reproduction. Complementing the upper registers, a custom-designed aluminum woofer delivers deep, controlled, and energetic bass, producing a wide and immersive soundstage.

Each transducer is powered by its own dedicated analog amplifier, delivering a total of 300 watts for dynamic, detailed, and distortion-free sound. The woofer is driven by a 160-watt BASH AB amplifier, the midrange by a 100-watt BASH AB amplifier, and the tweeter by a 40-watt Class AB amplifier. This tri-amplified configuration enables complete control over each driver, eliminating the compromises of passive crossovers and ensuring accurate and powerful playback at any volume. With a signal-to-noise ratio of 110 dB and a noise floor below 100 µV, this speaker exemplifies an audiophile-grade approach to active loudspeaker design.

Thanks to its versatile connectivity options, the Navis ARF51 integrates seamlessly into any audio system, analog or digital. It offers unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR inputs, as well as wireless compatibility via the optional Discovery Connect transmitter, enabling direct streaming from platforms such as Spotify Connect, Roon, AirPlay, and Bluetooth. By switching off the wireless function, users can engage pure analog mode for uncompromised direct connections.
