ELAC NAVIS ARB-51 - PAIR

ELAC Navis ARB-51 – High-End 3-Way Active Bookshelf Speakers with Tri-Amp Analog Amplification (Pair)

The ELAC Navis ARB-51 is one of the most sophisticated interpretations of the active loudspeaker concept available today. Designed by Andrew Jones, these premium stand-mount speakers combine advanced driver technology, analog active crossover networks and dedicated amplification for each driver to deliver true audiophile performance without the need for external power amplifiers.

The speaker features a sophisticated 3-way design with a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter concentrically mounted within a 4-inch aluminum midrange driver, complemented by a dedicated 5.25-inch aluminum woofer for deep and controlled bass reproduction. This configuration provides exceptional imaging, wide dispersion and outstanding soundstage precision.

Each driver is powered by its own dedicated amplifier. The woofer receives 160 Watts from a BASH amplifier, the midrange is driven by a 100 Watt BASH amplifier and the tweeter benefits from a dedicated 40 Watt Class AB amplifier. Total power output reaches 300 Watts per speaker, ensuring effortless dynamics and outstanding control.

Unlike many modern active speaker systems, the Navis ARB-51 employs a completely analog signal path with no DSP or digital conversion stages in the audio chain. This design preserves signal purity and allows the loudspeaker to fully reveal the quality of upstream components.

Both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs are provided for seamless integration into high-end audio systems. Wireless AirX² compatibility is also available when used with the optional transmitter.

With its luxurious finishes and elegant cabinet design, the Navis ARB-51 combines exceptional sound quality with premium aesthetics.
