ELAC CC 241
ELAC CC 241 compact centre speaker, with a contemporary lacquered cabinet, designed for faithful dialogue reproduction in a home cinema system.
Description
The ELAC CC 241 is a centre speaker designed for home cinema systems. It handles the reproduction of dialogue and voices, typically the most heavily used channel in a multichannel system, while blending discreetly beneath or near a television.
Its design favours a generous soundstage as well as faithful and precise reproduction of vocal timbre, two qualities sought after for a centre channel that must remain intelligible during both dialogue and more dynamic scenes. Its lacquered cabinet with a contemporary finish allows it to match the aesthetics of modern televisions.
In terms of configuration, the CC 241 should be set to "LARGE" in the home cinema amplifier's menu. If a subwoofer needs to be added, the setting should be switched to "SMALL" with a crossover frequency of 50 Hz maximum; if this crossover cannot be precisely set, it is preferable to keep the "LARGE" mode.
This speaker is aimed at home cinema enthusiasts looking for a compact, stylish centre channel that suits contemporary furniture or a TV stand, without sacrificing dialogue clarity for the sake of design.
What to check before buying used
Check the condition of the driver surrounds (flexibility, absence of cracks or tears) as well as the correct centring of the cones, a point often overlooked on a centre speaker placed flat beneath a television. Also inspect the lacquered cabinet: impacts, chips or scratch marks are more visible on this type of finish than on a matte wood one. A test at moderate volume with dialogue can reveal any rubbing noise or distortion indicating a worn driver.
