ELAC Uni-Fi FS U5 Slim Tower Speaker - Pair

Audiomaxx brings you the Elac Uni-Fi FS U5 slim floorstanding speaker designed by the celebrated speaker designer behind Elac's Debut series, Andrew Jones. For the first time in ELAC’s history, the German-brand brings the superiority of concentric drivers at an affordable price package.

The Elac Uni-Fi FS U5 sports a 3-way bass-reflex design with 3 x dual flared ports for a superior sound and a cohesive bass response. The slim-profile floorstanding tower speakers feature a 1" soft dome tweeter positioned concentrically with a 4" midrange voice coil for uniform directivity pattern and 3 x 5.25" drivers for formidable power handling and enhanced stereo imaging for both on- and off-axis listening positions. The audiophile-grade speaker's cabinet is made from robust MDF wood draped in a luxuriously textured vinyl finish. The magnetically attached grilles deliver a clean appearance, while the high-quality base and feet provide a stable footprint and allow optimum coupling of the speaker cabinet to the floor.

You can use Elac Uni-Fi FS U5 slim floorstanding speaker as a standalone two-channel music system or part of a multi-channel setup for a superior sonic experience in your home theatre system.

The delicacy of a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter and the harmonic accuracy of a rigid aluminum 4-inch midrange cone come together in a symphony of sonic perfection. Positioning the tweeter concentrically within the midrange voice coil achieves a uniform directivity pattern, for flat frequency response and formidable power handling, along with enhanced imaging for both on- and off-axis listening positions.

The Uni-Fi Slim enclosures are narrower, taller and deeper than the original Uni-Fi series, engineered for the long run with thick MDF outer walls. Yet each has been carefully engineered to maintain the same internal volume, resulting in sonic characteristics indistinguishable from the originals. The cabinets incorporate specially designed internal bracing to add stiffness and strength to the cabinet’s outer walls. This bracing greatly reduces cabinet vibration, which causes unwanted coloration to the sound. ELAC believes that the only parts of a speaker that should be moving are the speaker drivers themselves.

An outrigger base design used for the FS U5 Slim provides a larger, more stable footprint and adds stability and optimum coupling of the speaker cabinet to the floor. Molded knobs dial in precise leveling of the four corners, which are supplied with metal spikes and spike stands, used according to whether the loudspeaker is placed on a soft or hard floor surface.

One secret to the great sound of the Uni-Fi Slim series is the high quality, audio-grade components specified in the manufacture of each custom, three-way crossover, the careful design of which is essential to smooth transition between the drivers. The best crossovers are the ones in which the sonic landscape—from lowest fundamentals to highest highs—becomes seamless. This is the sound of Uni-Fi.

The custom terminals provide the flexibility of speaker wire connections and ensure optimal electron transfer from speaker cables to the speaker itself. Details like this make the difference!
