About the ELAC Debut 2.0 F5.2 

A Slender Tower With Huge Sound

ELAC's original Debut F5 floor-standing speaker was a huge hit with our customers. The newly designed Debut 2.0 F5.2 offers the same high level of performance in a taller, slimmer cabinet. It also sports an improved 1" silk dome tweeter for the extended high-frequency response and a trio of updated 5-1/4" aramid-fiber woofers for smooth mids and punchy bass.

Custom-built For Excellent Sound

Fans of ELAC know that renowned speaker designer Andrew Jones has been at the helm of the Debut series since the beginning. Jones himself designs the magnets, woofers, crossovers, and enclosures for each Debut speaker, which allows for high-quality components without the added cost of outsourcing parts and supplies.

A High-Quality Crossover Directs Traffic

One of the F5.2's performance secrets is its custom-designed multi-element crossover. Jones uses this important component to ensure smooth frequency distribution between each of the drivers. The result is full, natural sound from a floor-stander that won't wreak havoc on your budget. Use a pair of the F5.2s as part of a great-sounding stereo or Debut 2.0 Series home theater system.

Redesigned woven Aramid-Fiber woofer

The Elac Debut 2.0 F5.2 sports 3 custom-engineered 5.25" mid-bass drivers. The improved shape of the aramid cone delivers even higher stiffness and damping, far superior in quality in comparison to polypropylene or paper. The added strength empowers more flexibility in design to achieve a smooth, fast, and deeper low-frequency response..

Improved high-frequency tweeter & wide-dispersion waveguide

       
The Elac Debut 2.0 F5.2 incorporates a 1" cloth dome tweeter. The improved silk-dome tweeter sports a wide-roll surround that reproduces up to 35,000 Hz for a crisp and detailed high-frequency response. The updated waveguide improves directivity control and reduces the diffraction to deliver an ultra-wide frequency response.

Robust Cabinets for Long Life and Easy Placement

       
The F5.2 is housed in a thick MDF cabinet with a luxurious black ash vinyl finish. It sports larger internal braces for greater stiffness and strength. The final result is greatly reduced cabinet vibrations that cause unwanted colouration and distortion to the speaker's tonality. These floorstanders are built to sound amazing not only now but also in the long run.

Additional Info:

Three-Way Driver Design: The Elac Debut 2.0 series DF52 floorstanding loudspeaker features a three-way driver design with a 1" tweeter, one 5.25" midrange driver, two 5.25" bass woofers, and a 90Hz/2200Hz crossover network. The tweeter, midrange driver, and woofers have been custom designed by Andrew Jones to deliver an exceptional audio experience that can't be delivered with typical off-the-shelf parts.

Cloth Dome Tweeter w/ Wave Guide: The 1" silk soft-dome tweeter features a wide-roll surround that improves power handling and a waveguide that improves directivity control by eliminating cabinet diffraction inherent in traditional box enclosures. The 1" silk soft-dome tweeter candle handle high frequencies up to 35,000 Hz.
Woven-Aramid Fiber Woofers: The floorstanding speaker features three 5.25" woven aramid-fiber cone woofers (1 midrange driver/2 bass woofers) with rubber surround, oversized magnet, and vented pole piece. The revised shape of the aramid cone offers even greater stiffness and damping; far superior to polypropylene or paper. The added strength allows more flexibility in design to achieve a smoother, extended low-frequency response.
Custom Crossover: A custom nine-element crossover (90Hz/2200Hz) with audio-grade components is implemented to ensure a smooth transition between the tweeter, midrange driver, and bass woofers.

Bass Reflex MDF Cabinet: The Elac Debut 2.0 series DF52 floorstanding loudspeaker uses a bass reflex cabinet with three rear-firing flared ports for greater efficiency and bigger bass response. The cabinet is made of MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) to strengthen and stiffen the cabinet, helping minimize unwanted vibrations that can discolor music or movie content. The MDF outer walls of the cabinet are covered with a black ash wood-grain vinyl finish. A detachable cloth grille is included.

5-Way Binding Posts: The Elac Debut 2.0 series DF52 floorstanding loudspeaker is fitted with a set of 5-way binding-post terminals which will accept bare-wire (up to 10AWG), pin connectors, spade-lugs, and banana plugs (single or dual).

Spike Feet: The Elac Debut 2.0 series DF52 floorstanding loudspeaker features an integrated plinth (base) and comes with 4 spike feet. The spikes screw into the speaker cabinet's integrated plinth (base). The spike feet work great on carpeted flooring. You should place protective discs (not included) under the spikes if you are placing the speaker on hardwood or tile flooring (no rubber feet are included).

Dimensions with Spike Feet: 7.4375" (w) x 41.0625" (h) x 10.25" (d)
Dimensions without Spike Feet: 7.4375" (w) x 40.1875" (h) x 10.25" (d)
