Sublime Sound Served Up with Serious PowerELAC’s new Navis Series answers every minimalist audiophile’s dream of a no-compromise powered speaker driven by best-in- class amplifiers that are truly deserving of the name “high end.” While most powered speakers rely on Class D digital designs, ELAC engineers build in 300 watts of pure analog amplification for maximum power and exceptional sound. Sonic Excellence with ELAC’s State-of-the-Art DriversDesigned from the ground up, the full-range, monitor-quality Navis ARB-51 bookshelf speaker features ELAC concentric-driver technology to deliver unsurpassed mid-frequency and high-frequency performance, coupled with a custom aluminum woofer for truly impressive bass, all in one compact, elegant package. Each of the three transducers is powered by its own dedicated analog amplifier, with a selection of RCA or XLR balanced inputs. Custom-Designed Midrange/TweeterOne reason the Navis sounds so natural is because of its in-house developed transducer, a 4-inch aluminum midrange driver with a concentrically mounted 1-inch soft-dome tweeter. Combined, this signature configuration lets Navis set the performance standard for its class. Custom-Designed WooferNavis’s single woofer reproduces bass with authority, thanks to the special design of its driver. Developed in-house, the 5-1⁄4-inch aluminum cone is the ideal structural material, specified for its ability to deliver slam, punch and accurate low-frequency fundamentals. Beautiful CabinetsNavis’s elegant design integrates perfectly with any interior. Its enclosure has a fine-furniture finish, available in Gloss Black, Gloss White and Wood Veneer. A dedicated floor stand completes the installation and is recommended for optimum performance. Powerful TrifectaInside each Navis Bookshelf Loudspeaker is a Tri-Amp Pure Analog Amplifier employing three separate amps for each transducer: a 160-watt BASH AB amplifier for the woofer, a 100-watt BASH AB amplifier for the midrange, and a 40-watt Class AB amplifier for the tweeter. A total amplifier power of 300 watts ensures that each transducer is optimally and amply powered, eliminating clipping and crossover distortion, and driving each transducer with authority. Specs like a 110 dBA signal-to-noise ratio and 100 uV noise floor could only come from such audiophile-quality amps! Flexible ConnectionsLocal inputs include balanced XLR, RCA and Wireless, when used with ELAC’s Discovery Connect wireless transmitter to stream Discovery, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth, AirPlay and Roon. Just switch Wireless “Off” for a no-compromise analog input and output.
"Thanks to the combined optical and analogue input on the rear panel, the Bluesound feels like it offers a little extra flexibility compared with rivals. At the price, there’s certainly no shortage of competition, but the Pulse Flex 2i has a useful spec and delivers an excellent user experience combined with strong sound." - Hi-Fi Choice, January 21, 2020 "With the Navis ARB-51, Elac boldly goes his own way – and does it all right. The vinyl faction gets a HiFi active box, which gives the beloved analog signal faithfully and unmodified to the best without digital conversion. Convenience customers, on the other hand, can wirelessly indulge in low-threshold streaming music access, using the additional devices offered by Elac. Both layers of buyers are likely to appeal to the successful design as well as the flawless workmanship. Above all, the Navis ARB-51 is a loudspeaker that plays out all the trump cards of active technology at an attractive price and achieves an exceptionally high level of adult sound quality from a compact format." - André Schwerdt, i-fidelity.net, July 8, 2019 "Elac’s powered-speaker is highly compact, yet capable enough to satisfy serious listeners." "The ARB-51’s driver-EQ flexibility means you can place the speakers either close to a wall – within a foot or so – or well out in the room and hear similar results. I would encourage anyone seeking some or all of these virtues to give the ARB-51 serious consideration." - Sound&Vision, June-July 2019 "There’s so much to admire about Elac’s Navis ARB-51 -- their neutrality, their warmth, their expressiveness, and, of course, their incredible value for money." "...you get a superb three-way, stand-mounted speaker, and amplifiers matched to the individual drivers and with a total output of 300Wpc. With the Navis series, Andrew Jones’s parade of hit products for Elac is clearly continuing. In my view, the ARB-51 rockets straight to the top of the charts." - Gordon Brockhouse, SoundStage! Simplifi, April 1, 2019 2022 Editors’ Choice Award - The Absolute Sound"...rich, full-bodied midrange with a warm, cozy ambience that is ideal for vocals. Fans of choral music will revel in the clarity of massed voices." - The Absolute Sound, March 2019
