High Notes
Great Room Correction and Control App
The control app for the Varros subwoofers gives you a very high level of on-the-fly adjustments which is fantastic for tuning from your listening position. With ELAC being the first company to offer subwoofer room correction, their new version works extremely well and is just two quick steps.
Unique Hexagon Driver
ELAC's Hexagon bass driver allows the woofer to act more like a piston than anything else they have measured. The cone is dual-treated paper sandwiched with aluminum for the best of both types of materials. This ensures very fast and accurate deep bass that blends well with your main speakers.
Powered By BASH
The ELAC patented BASH amp gives you the audio benefits of a Class AB power amp while enabling it to deliver extreme amounts of power to handle all the dynamics of modern home theaters. This design is so good, ELAC licenses a less high-tech version to several other audio companies.
Total Performance Begins With Design
This powerful subwoofer series features an advanced 2-Layer High Excursion (HEX) design, providing a dynamic low-end response and room-filling sound. The high-quality amplification technology delivers incredible power with professional-grade audio clarity, so you get every punch and beat with maximum impact. Crafted with carefully selected materials, this subwoofer is engineered for remarkable sound quality and excellent durability. A stylish and modern design makes it a beautiful addition to any home. Get ready to experience music and movies like never before!
Advanced Woofer Design
Our High Excursion (HEX) surround technology allows for greater extrusion and less distortion. However, to facilitate the extra movement, longer voice coils were required. Meaning our Aluminum Sandwich technology was too heavy. To improve efficiency, our drivers were designed with cutouts arranged in the paper cone prior to gluing to the aluminum cone. The Die Cast backrest ensures strength under load, and a large magnet completes the custom driver.
Custom Designed Amplifier
All seven models utilize BASH technology. The discrete implementation of these tracking amplifiers allows for maximum voltage swing, providing all the power that is needed and additional dynamic power throughout the entire operating range of the woofers.
Auto EQ and Advanced App Control
Placement of a subwoofer can be challenging. This is because typically they are placed in corners or hidden next to couches causing reflection, peaks or valleys. The principle of ELAC’s Auto EQ, is to remove the effect of the room by making a near-field measurement and comparing it to a far-field (listening position) measurement. This allows a greater degree of freedom for placing the subwoofer where it meets all requirements. As the pioneer of APP-controlled subwoofers, all seven Varro subwoofers include our 3rd generation Sub Control 3.0 App with Auto EQ room correction and easy setup of multiple subwoofers.
