Package Contents

Specifications
For detailed specifications, please refer to the product
information provided above.
Setup
- Place the speakers on a stable surface, such as a bookshelf or
speaker stands, ensuring they are level and secure.
- Position the speakers at least 3-4 feet away from any walls and
4+ feet apart from each other, angled slightly in towards your
listening position. This will help to create a more immersive
soundstage.
- Connect the speakers to your amplifier or receiver using
high-quality speaker wire. Make sure to connect the positive (+)
terminal on the speaker to the positive (+) terminal on the
amplifier, and the negative (-) terminal on the speaker to the
negative (-) terminal on the amplifier.
- Connect your audio source (laptop, personal computer, tablet,
smartphone, etc.) to your amplifier or receiver.
- Adjust the volume, bass, and treble controls on your amplifier
or receiver to your desired levels.
Usage
Once your speakers are properly set up, you can enjoy
high-quality audio playback from your connected devices. To get the
best performance from your speakers, follow these tips:
- For optimal sound quality, remove the cloth grills and metal
dome grills covering the tweeters.
- When streaming audio, use an equalizer to adjust the bass and
treble frequencies to your liking.
- Keep the volume within a reasonable range to avoid distortion
and damage to the speakers.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your speakers, try the
following troubleshooting tips:
- Check all connections to ensure they are secure and properly
connected.
- Ensure that your amplifier or receiver is set to the correct
input source.
- If you experience rattling or buzzing from the speakers, remove
the drivers and place a piece of felt on the speaker wire coming
from the input plate. This will help to eliminate any rattling
caused by the wire touching the rear port.
- If the issue persists, contact ELAC customer support for
further assistance.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can these speakers be used without a subwoofer?
- Yes, the ELAC 4" Passive Bookshelf Speakers can be used without
a subwoofer. They produce good bass response for their size.
However, if you prefer more powerful bass, you may want to consider
pairing them with a dedicated subwoofer.
- What amplifier or receiver should I use with these
speakers?
- These speakers can be used with a variety of amplifiers and
receivers, as long as they are compatible with the speakers'
impedance (6 Ohms) and can provide sufficient power output. A 100W
per channel amplifier should provide adequate power for these
speakers.
- Do these speakers come with speaker wire?
- No, speaker wire is not included with the ELAC 4" Passive
Bookshelf Speakers. You will need to purchase speaker wire
separately to connect the speakers to your amplifier or
receiver.
- Can I mount these speakers on the wall?
- While the ELAC 4" Passive Bookshelf Speakers do not come with
built-in wall-mounting hardware, you can use third-party speaker
