Before Use - ELAC IW-S10EQ Handbuch

Philosophy
Thank you for purchasing this ELAC product.
When we started in 1926, ELAC has always strived to achieve the very best. This holds true as much today as it
did back then.
Your new ELAC speakers are built to the highest standards using high-quality components that are carefully
constructed to deliver the best-in-class sound quality. They are developed by a passionate group of individuals
whose soul purpose is to bring a new dimension of sound quality into your home. Enjoy!

Before Use

• Avoid damage to the speakers and other components:
• Unbox the subwoofer and amplifier carefully to avoid physical damage
• Keep your equipment turned off before connecting interconnects or speaker cables
• Check to ensure power cable is pushed in and secured to avoid electrical shock and injury.
BASH Technology
The BASH® technology implemented in the amplifier module of the ELAC subwoofer features power reserves
with much lower levels of distortion. This is achieved by using an audiophile class A/B power amplifier whose
supply voltage is regulated by a class D amplifier circuit to prevent any unnecessary power losses and to obtain
the efficiency of a class D amplifier.
Since the audio signal is amplified in the analog domain, the high-frequency interference typical of digital
amplifiers is eliminated. This design results in a low-noise amplifier with lower electromagnetic interference
emissions. The absence of crossover distortion, which is a problem in traditional class D designs where the
switching speed of the transistors is limited, yields further improvement in total harmonic distortion.
CVC (Cabinet Volume Correction)
When a subwoofer is mounted into a cavity wall or a ceiling its low frequency performance is influenced by the
volume of the airspace behind the driver. As this volume is generally unknown the driver will no longer perform
optimally as designed.
The AutoEQ function of our app incorporates a new unique process (patent applied for) that allows the amp/driver
to measure the volume of the airspace and hence its influence upon the performance, and automatically correct
the driver response to get back to the reference designed response.
As a result the driver will now have the same performance regardless of what wall it is mounted in, taking the
guess work out of installation.
