The ELAC Vela 2.0 VBS404.2 are premium 2-way bass reflex bookshelf speakers that combine over 95 years of ELAC acoustic engineering. They feature a trapezoid-shaped high-gloss lacquered or veneered cabinet for improved acoustics, a JET 6 Air Motion Transformer tweeter for extended high-frequency response up to 50kHz with low distortion and ultra-fast transients, and a 180mm AS-XR aluminum sandwich crystal membrane woofer for extended frequency range, high stiffness, smooth roll-off, and strong bass from a compact cabinet. The design includes a die-cast aluminum bottom plate with integrated double-flanged down-firing bass reflex port for flexible placement and reduced port noise, bi-wiring capability, and convex baffles to minimize reflections. Available in Black High Gloss, White High Gloss, and Walnut High Gloss finishes. Ideal for stereo and multi-channel setups, they deliver immersive detail, clarity, and dynamic bass.
