Navis Series Powered Speakers: Sublime sound, serious power.
Designed from the ground up, the full-range, monitor-quality Navis Bookshelf features ELAC concentric-driver technology to deliver unsurpassed mid- and high-frequency performance. Coupled with a custom aluminum woofer for truly impressive bass, it offers a no-compromise experience in one compact, elegant package.
Tri-Amp Pure Analog Amplifier
A Powerful Trifecta: While most powered speakers rely on Class D digital designs, ELAC engineers build in 300 watts of pure analog amplification. Inside each loudspeaker is a dedicated amp for each transducer:
- 160-watt BASH AB amplifier for the woofer
- 100-watt BASH AB amplifier for the midrange
- 40-watt Class AB amplifier for the tweeter
This ensures each driver is optimally powered, eliminating clipping and crossover distortion with authority. Audiophile specs like a 110 dBA signal-to-noise ratio ensure a pristine, quiet noise floor.
Flexible Connections and EQ
Integrate Navis into your setup: Local inputs include balanced XLR and RCA for traditional high-end preamps. For a minimalist dream, add the Discovery Connect wireless transmitter to stream Spotify Connect, Bluetooth, AirPlay, and Roon without a cable in sight.
Analog Purity: Just switch Wireless “Off” for a no-compromise analog input/output signal path. Built-in EQ switches on the rear panel allow you to fine-tune the bass and treble to match your room’s unique acoustics and placement.
Concentric Brilliance: The concentric driver design ensures that high and mid frequencies originate from the same point in space, providing pinpoint imaging and a wide, natural soundstage.
