Passion

Since 1981, loudspeaker have been our life. As we want people to enjoy music on a higher level, with more atmosphere and in varying forms, ELAC is committed to the highest possible quality.

We are dedicated to the perfection of loudspeaker engineering for you to dive into maybe unknown spheres of sound without restrictions on living ambience. To be able to produce uncompromising, hard-wearing, and modern products, ELAC is one of the few loudspeaker companies who build and produce the drive units - the motors - in-house thus continually extending their know-how.

Principles

The Kiel manufacturers relie on the success factors 'Innovation' and 'Quality' and promote technical advancement in their own house. This includes room-acoustic research and the development of computer programs for loudspeaker design and set-up as well as a specialised and highly vertically integrated production.

Made in Germany

For us, the challenge lies in coming up to the traditional ´Made in Germany´ in the sense of quality, longevity, and a technological edge. In this, the sound philosophy can be called ´international´ rather than ´typically German´.
