ELAC Debut ConneX DCB41 Powered bookshelf speakers with Bluetooth®, HDMI, and built-in phono preamp (Black)

Features

Class D Amplification: The Elac ConneX DCB41 powered speaker system features Class D amplification with Elac's proprietary XBass Enhancer circuitry for dynamic, distortion free high and low frequencies. The 50 watt x 2 channel Class D amplifier powers both speakers, but is only housed in one of the speakers. Binding-post terminals on the back of each speaker and the included 68" speaker wire provide connection between the system's powered speaker and passive speaker.

• The included 68" speaker wire can be replaced with a longer speaker wire (sold separately - see Accessories Tab), if your setup requires that the speaker's be placed further apart.
• A switch on back of the powered speaker allows you to select which speaker will be the Left or the Right channel.

2-Way Driver Design: Each speaker of the Elac Debut ConneX DCB41 employs a 2-way driver design that features a 0.75" soft-dome tweeter and a 4.5" polypropylene cone woofer for crisp, clear highs and punchy, accurate bass. The tweeter features custom designed waveguide to control dispersion and directivity improving overall imaging and balance of high frequencies. The long-excursion woofer features a wide-rolled surround to provide increased output for added bass extension.

Bass Reflex Cabinet: The Elac Debut ConneX DCB41 speakers use a bass reflex (ported) cabinet for greater efficiency and bigger bass response. For better lower frequency extension and to minimize ventilation noise, the bass reflex port on the speakers are directed to the rear, in an "S"-shape configuration.

24-Bit/96kHz DAC: The Elac Debut ConneX DCB41 powered speaker system utilizes a 24-bit/96kHz resolution DAC (digital-to-analog converter) for high-quality sound reproduction.

Bluetooth Audio Streaming: The Elac Debut ConneX DCB41 offers built-in Bluetooth 4.0 with support for wireless audio streaming (A2DP) and control (AVRCP). You'll be able to wirelessly stream your music libraries, music apps, and other audio content on your Bluetooth source device (such as your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer) to the Debut ConneX DCB41 speaker system. You can pair multiple Bluetooth source devices with the Debut ConneX DCB41 powered speaker system, but only one device can be connected and used for playback at a time.

• Music Codecs: In addition to supporting the standard Bluetooth SBC codec, the Debut ConneX DCB41 system offers support for Qualcomm's aptX codec. Qualcomm's aptX codec provides even better sound quality with lossless, "CD-quality" (16-bit/44.1kHz) streaming for aptX-compatible source devices, such as many Android smartphones and tablets..
• Playback Control: You'll also be able to control basic playback functions (such as Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track) from the included remote control. Advanced music playback and song/artist display will still be done from your Bluetooth source device.

USB-B Port: The USB-B input enables you to connect a Windows PC or Mac to the Elac Debut ConneX DCB41 speaker system for playing audio files stored on your laptop or desktop computer. The Debut ConneX DCB41 supports up 24-bit/96kHz PCM/WAV audio files via USB-B.

HDMI ARC: The Elac Debut ConneX DCB41 is equipped a HDMI ARC jack to connect the speaker system to your TV's HDMI ARC input. The Debut ConneX DCB41's HDMI ARC jack allows audio from your TV to be sent to the speaker system for playback. The HDMI ARC jack supports 2ch stereo PCM audio, up to 24-bit/96kHz (not compatible with Dolby Digital or DTS).

Optical Digital Input: The Elac Debut ConneX DCB41 wireless music system is outfitted with an optical (toslink) digital audio input that supports 2ch stereo PCM audio, up to 24-bit/96kHz (not compatible with Dolby Digital or DTS).

Line or Phono Input: The Debut ConneX DCB41 also comes equipped with a stereo audio RCA input and built-in phono preamp, allowing you to connect a line-level source or turntable with a phono MM cartridge. You can toggle between line-level and phono with a simple flip of a switch that is located on the rear-panel of the powered speaker. In addition, there is a ground-terminal to reduce noise.

Sub Out: The Elac Debut ConneX DCB41 is equipped with a mono-RCA subwoofer output for connecting a powered subwoofer (sold separately - see Accessories Tab) to add deep, low bass to the speaker system. The Debut ConneX DCB41's sub output is full-range, so you'll need a powered subwoofer with a built-in low-pass crossover.

Simple Control: The included IR remote control provides wireless operation of the Elac Debut ConneX DCB41 speaker system (the IR receiver is located on front of the powered speaker). From the wireless remote you can control Power On/Off, Source Selection, Volume Up/Down, Mute, Play/Pause, and Previous/Next Track. There is also a power on/off switch, rotary volume knob, and left/right speaker switch on the back-panel of the powered speaker.

Mounting & Placement Options: The Debut ConneX DCB41 powered speaker system is designed for either bookshelf or stand mounting (see Accessories Tab for desktop and floor stands - sold separately). The speakers come with self-adhesive rubber feet to protect your furniture (the feet add approximately 0.125" to the overall height of the speakers).

• The speakers should be positioned as close to ear level as possible when in your main seated listening position for optimum performance.
• Moving the speakers close to a rear wall will enhance the bass frequencies, while moving the speakers away from the rear wall will tend to have the opposite effect.

AC Power Required: The Elac Debut ConneX DCB41's powered speaker includes a detachable 6.5' AC power cord that will need to be plugged into an AC power outlet or surge protector (sold separately - see Accessories Tab). The passive speaker does not require AC power.
