The ELAC Debut B6 is a first-generation, two-way, bass-reflex bookshelf loudspeaker designed by Andrew Jones. It features a 1-inch cloth-dome tweeter mounted in a deep-spheroid waveguide and a 6.5-inch woven aramid-fiber woofer. The speaker has a specified frequency response of 44 Hz–20 kHz, 6-ohm nominal impedance, and 87 dB sensitivity at 2.83 V/1 m. Its MDF cabinet uses a rear-firing bass port and five-way binding posts, making it suitable for stereo and home-theater systems. The original Debut B6 has been superseded by the Debut 2.0 B6.2 and is no longer manufactured.
