ELAC Element EA-101EQ-G
Element Series: Power, performance and value.
80 Watt-per-channel integrated amp with DSP
The launch of ELAC’s Debut and Uni-Fi series loudspeakers called for a great-sounding amplifier that delivers the performance, flexibility and value essential for a product to carry the ELAC name. So where none existed before, ELAC engineers created the Element Series. Starting with a clean-sheet, their design brief was clear: build the most powerful, versatile, easy-to-use integrated amplifier imaginable; do it without compromising sound, reliability and a great user experience; and price it so fairly that it becomes a hands-down choice, even when compared against units at many times the price.
This integrated amplifier marks ELAC’s return to the amplifier category. The Element Series EA101EQ-G Integrated Amplifier solves two of the biggest problems with two-channel audio: proper blending of a subwoofer with your main speakers and room correction. Our advanced DSP and innovative smartphone application provide all the tools necessary for anyone to achieve a true audiophile system at an affordable price.
The Element EA101EQ-G makes quite a statement and is guaranteed to change the rules of the game for integrated amplifiers, with sound quality and feature-rich control flexibility that make it the go-to solution for a no-compromise sound system. Once you experience what it can do—especially with the new Debut, Uni-Fi, or Line 240.3 loudspeakers—your world of sound just might be altered forever.
The BASH™ amplification solution At their heart is a brand new BASH Tracking Amplifier delivering 80 Watts per channel into either 4 or 8 ohm speakers. This new amplifier uses a modulated switched mode power supply allied to a conventional class AB amplifier. Switching at more than 400,000 times per second, the supply tracks the incoming audio signal to ensure that the Class AB amplifier gets only the voltage necessary (with a little headroom) to cope with today’s dynamic movie and music content, thus maximizing the efficiency and potential of the amplifier. |
ABC Technology (Auto Blend & Calibrate) The companion IOS and Android app measures the near-field response of main speakers and subwoofer, then pinpoints the subwoofer’s optimal crossover frequency. Auto Blend results in the perfect integration of clean, articulate bass. Room Calibration precisely tailors your system for flattest frequency response across the audio spectrum, optimized for your listening position and environment. |
Input rename Easily rename each input to match your source. The revised name will appear in the app and on the integrated amplifier’s front panel display. |
Remote Learning Using our free iOS or Android app you can teach the Element Amplifier to respond your favorite IR remote control. |
The Center of your Living Room With built-in Dolby Digital Decoding, the Element amplifier has been designed to sit at the heart of your entertainment system. Simply connect the audio output from your TV to the Element Amp and experience your favorite movies or TV shows like never before. |
