Make Your Hi-Fi Life Easy with a Pair of Powered Speakers: Stylish ELAC Debut Connex DCB41-DS Feature a Streaming DAC, 50W Amplifier, Turntable Input, HDMI ARC Port, Stands, and Much More
ELAC is known around the world for making great-sounding bookshelf speakers that have won the hearts of music lovers and audio critics — and garnered multiple awards. The company’s Debut Connex DCB41-DS powered bookshelf speakers take things a step further by combining its advanced speaker technology with the addition of power amplifiers, a streaming DAC, and an input for a turntable. The cherry on top? Sleek, contemporary design by Brooklyn-based clothier Adsum, which extends to the low-profile albeit rounded, tubular stands that literally and figuratively help Debut Connex DCB41-DS stand apart from the competition.
Listeners wanting high-performance audio, a compact footprint, attractive styling, and budget-friendly accessibility needn’t go further than Debut Connex DCB41-DS. The approximately seven-pound model touts a 4.5-inch woofer and 0.75-inch soft dome tweeter in each cabinet. The speakers are powered by a built-in 50-watt amplifier that has the ability to output a maximum SPL of 102dB. Yes, these 9.81 x 5.56 x 9.44-inch (HWD) units deliver the goods with the heaviest of tracks.
And, thanks to the on-board Bluetooth aptX streaming DAC, you can stream wirelessly from your phone, tablet, or computer with ease. Should you choose the cabled route, USB, optical, and HDMI ARC inputs allow for connection to your TV, game console, or CD transport. The speakers connect to each other via a supplied speaker cable, meaning that setup is quick and easy. A single RCA output even invites you to add a powered subwoofer, making Debut Connex DCB41-DS an even more formidable player. Lest we forget, a moving-magnet phono preamplifier practically begs you to hook your turntable right to the speakers.
Completed with a rear-firing slot port for extended low-end responsiveness, defeatable XBass circuit, rear-panel volume knob for easy operation, remote control, and two removable grilles, Debut Connex DCB41-DS takes budget-friendly active speakers to a new level.
