ELAC UNI-FS U5

The ELAC Uni-Fi FS U5 is a floorstanding speaker that combines elegance, meticulous construction, and high-level sound performance, delivering a listening experience that far exceeds expectations for its price range. At the heart of its design lies a sophisticated concentric driver, which integrates a 25 mm soft dome tweeter within a 100 mm aluminum midrange. This configuration allows for uniform sound dispersion, ensuring a linear frequency response and accurate reproduction both on-axis and off-axis, resulting in a coherent soundstage from any listening position.

The 3-way bass-reflex design employs proprietary drivers with aluminum cones, offering flawless harmonic extension and effortlessly managed power, producing a sound that is precise, dynamic, and immersive.

Every component— from the crossover built with audio-grade parts to the high-density MDF cabinet structure— is designed to minimize unwanted interference and preserve the purity of the audio signal. Internally reinforced walls increase cabinet rigidity and eliminate vibrations, avoiding acoustic coloration that could compromise sound fidelity. The outrigger-style base extends the footprint to ensure greater stability and optimal coupling with the floor. Integrated knobs allow for precise leveling of all four corners, while the feet can be adapted to soft or hard surfaces using metal spikes and dedicated supports.

The use of aluminum in the drivers shifts resonances beyond the operational range, improving linearity compared to more common paper cones. The oversized magnet with a ventilated pole enhances power handling capability, ensuring deep, defined bass reproduction with minimal distortion. Even the connectivity is finely detailed: custom 5-way binding posts offer maximum flexibility and optimize signal transfer from cables to speaker. Every aspect—from construction choices to acoustic design—helps define the sonic identity of the Uni-Fi series, known for its balance, naturalness, and musical precision, whether in high-performance stereo setups or as the centerpiece of a home theater system.
