ELAC BS 243
ELAC BS 243 bookshelf speaker from the 240 series, with adjustable bass port and treble directivity control system. Available in white or black lacquer.
Description
The BS 243 is a bookshelf speaker from ELAC, part of the German manufacturer's 240 series. Designed to fit into a stereo hi-fi system, it occupies an intermediate position within bookshelf ranges, between compactness and sonic demands.
Its technical distinctiveness lies in its adjustable bass port, which allows the level of bass frequency output to be adjusted according to room volume and speaker placement. This type of adjustment prevents excess bass in small spaces or, conversely, a lack of presence in a larger room. The BS 243 also incorporates a system for adjusting the directivity of the sound field at the top of the spectrum, offering the possibility of adapting treble dispersion depending on whether the listening room is more reverberant or more absorbent.
This speaker is aimed at music lovers seeking precise stereo listening, capable of taking advantage of the adjustments on offer to fine-tune the sound according to their listening environment. It is particularly well suited to those wishing to adapt their system to a room without acoustic treatment, whether too reverberant or too absorbent.

What to check before buying used
Check the condition of the woofer's suspension, which can stiffen or crack over time and affect bass reproduction. Also inspect the lacquered cabinet (white or black): knocks, chips and micro-scratches are particularly noticeable on these glossy finishes. Finally, test the adjustable bass port mechanism and the treble directivity control system to ensure they slide freely without play or sticking.
