ELAC BS 244-3
Compact ELAC bookshelf speaker, to be placed on a shelf or dedicated stand, designed for hi-fi as well as home cinema use.
Description
The BS 244-3 is a bookshelf speaker from ELAC, designed to offer refined sound reproduction in a compact format. It can be installed on a shelf as well as on a dedicated stand, depending on the room configuration and available space constraints.
The model incorporates a bass-reflex port, which contributes to bass extension despite the reduced size of the cabinet. When the speaker is positioned close to a wall, it is recommended to close this port in order to avoid proximity effects that can disturb the sound balance.
The BS 244-3 stands out for its versatility of use: it can operate in a classic stereo configuration or be integrated into a home cinema system, where it is capable of serving as either a front or a rear channel. In this case, it is advisable to set the corresponding channel to "LARGE" mode on the amplifier or home cinema processor.
This type of speaker is aimed at those looking for a compact solution for quality music listening or to complete a home cinema system, without having the space required for imposing floorstanding speakers. It will be particularly suited to small and medium-sized rooms, as well as multichannel configurations where several identical speakers are distributed around the space.
What to check before buying used
On this type of compact speaker, the woofer's suspension deserves close inspection: sagging or tearing results in a dull or distorted sound. The condition of the bass-reflex port and its closing system should also be checked, along with the cabinet (corners, veneer, stand fixings) to spot any impact marks or signs of moisture. A listening check on both channels makes it possible to detect a faulty tweeter or an imbalance between the two speakers of the pair.
