JET Air Motion Transformer Tweeter

High-Definition Sound: ELAC’s JET tweeters are legendary in the industry, providing extended high-frequency response and high efficiency. By using the Air Motion Transformer principle, they deliver a transparent and effortless sound image with minimal distortion and massive headroom.

Signal Accuracy: The lightning-fast transient response ensures every detail of your high-resolution audio is captured with lifelike realism.

JET Tweeter Detail
Aluminum Woofer Construction

Aluminum Sandwich Woofer

Compound Curvature Cone: Utilizing a single-piece cone construction, the curvature has been optimized to manage cone breakup and extend response. This allows the woofer to blend seamlessly with the high-speed JET tweeter.

Dynamic Impact: A rigid cast chassis supports an oversized magnet with a large vented pole piece to maximize drive force and minimize non-linearity, resulting in robust, powerful bass dynamics.

Acoustically Optimized & Downward Firing

Silent Port Technology: The die-cast double flanged bass reflex port faces downward, exiting the bottom of the cabinet. This minimizes vent noise and allows you to place the speakers closer to walls without muddying the bass.

Structural Integrity: Each Carina enclosure features sturdy MDF walls and an elegant satin finish. Strategically positioned internal bracing minimizes vibrations that could otherwise introduce unwanted coloration to your music.
