BIG IN JAPAN:
ELAC receives a Hi-Fi ‘Oscar’!
    While more and more companies produce their products in Asia and sell them from there to Germany, Kiel’s loudspeaker manufacturer ELAC does it exactly the other way round. ELAC produces exquisite German made loudspeakers that are produced in Kiel and have become top-selling models in Japan! The company from Kiel has received a number of awards that reflect the acceptance of their ‘perfect sound’ philosophy in Japan. 

    Now, the Japanese Hi-Fi magazine STEREO SOUND has presented the Grand Prix Award 2005, the ‘Oscar’ of Hi-Fi, to Kiel’s loudspeaker manufacturer ELAC!The award is regarded as one of the most important prizes in Hi-Fi. It was awarded to the FS 607 X-JET loudspeaker because of its outstanding build quality, exceptional technology and design and phenomenal sound.

    The technical highlight of this excellent loudspeaker is the X-JET. This unique coaxial midrange-tweeter driver system is regarded as an exciting innovation in the Hi-Fi world due to the use of coaxial and coplanar design to approach the ideal point source driver.
    Rolf Janke, Head of ELAC’s R&D, is proud that the company from Kiel can maintain its position worldwide due to this technological edge. ‘We have our own highly specialised driver production in Kiel which works together very closely with our R&D’, he explains, ‘this way, we are able to manufacture cutting edge products for your listening pleasure.’
    Last year, ELAC recorded an above-average demand for premium loudspeakers. Commenting on the sales increase Wolfgang John, Manager of ELAC said ‘After the run on flat screen televisions, people are now shifting their focus to high quality sound to further enhance their home cinema experience.

 

After receiving a number of awards already, 
ELAC now gets the ‚Oscar’ of Hi-Fi: Rolf 
Jahnke, Head of R&D, is proud to present
