The ELAC UC5 center channel speaker is designed as the perfect complement to a Uni-Fi surround sound system, delivering a seamless center stage for music and film. It features a true 3-way bass reflex design with a custom-designed concentric driver that combines a 1-inch soft dome tweeter concentrically mounted within a 4-inch aluminum midrange cone, providing uniform directivity and enhanced imaging. Bass frequencies are handled by two 5.25-inch aluminum cone woofers with extended size magnets and vented pole pieces for increased power handling and clean, clear bass reproduction. The speaker includes a sophisticated multi-element crossover with high-grade components for smooth transitions between drivers. The cabinet is constructed from thick MDF with internal bracing to reduce vibration and unwanted coloration, finished in black brushed vinyl with a magnetically attached fabric grille. It has a frequency response of 48 to 25,000 Hz, sensitivity of 85 dB at 2.83 V/1m, nominal impedance of 4 ohms (minimum 3.4 ohms), and recommended amplifier power of 40 to 140 watts per channel. Dimensions are approximately 18.75" wide, 7.87" high, and 10.75" deep, weighing about 23.3 lbs. It comes with a 3-year warranty and includes the speaker, grille, and operating instructions.
