Debut 2.0 Bookshelf

ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 Bookshelf Speaker – DB52

Improving on its award-winning predecessor was no easy task, but the Debut B5.2 sets a yet higher standard, delivering performance in inverse proportion to its diminutive size. And it remains the best value in the world of affordable speakers, with sound that surpasses speakers many times the price.

CUSTOM TWEETER

Our custom designed 1” soft-dome tweeters are fine-tuned to match the specific characteristics of the speakers they are integrated into. This optimization results in improved clarity, detail, and accuracy in reproducing today’s dynamic music and soundtracks.

ARAMID FIBER WOOFER

Light weight, durable and consistent performance are the reasons we chose aramid fiber as the woofer material in all Debut 2.0 speakers. Their ability to effortlessly recreate low frequencies enhances everything from dialog to explosions.

SLEEK AND ELEGANT DESIGN

With a modern and minimalist aesthetic, these speakers blend seamlessly into any home decor, making a statement without taking up unnecessary space. A front facing port provides greater flexibility with room placement. 

PERFECT FOR ANY ROOM

From your cozy living room to your home office, these speakers fit effortlessly into any environment, providing premium sound quality wherever you need it.

BUILT TO LAST

Crafted with high-quality materials, all ELAC speakers are designed to withstand the test of time, so you can enjoy exceptional sound quality for years to come.

EASY TO DRIVE

All Debut 2.0 models are extremely easy to drive and work effortlessly with virtually all AV receivers and amplifiers. 

Premium Audio

Affordable Premium Audio

Debut is a premium speaker that remains affordable with custom-designed drivers and well-engineered cabinet, resulting in accurate and detail sound reproduction with exceptional sound quality and build construction.

Tweeter

Wide-Dispersion Waveguide

A NEW soft-dome tweeter features a wide-roll surround and takes response up to 35,000 Hz for even more lifelike high frequencies. The waveguide improves directivity control and eliminates the diffraction modes inherent in traditional box enclosures.

Newly Designed Cabinets

For Easier Placement

THICK MDF cabinets with a luxurious black ash vinyl finish are larger, and internally braced for greater stiffness and strength, greatly reducing cabinet vibrations which cause unwanted coloration. On the Bookshelf and Center Channel, moving the bass port to the front of the cabinet means placement against walls or in bookshelves won’t compromise performance.

New Woven Aramid-Fiber Woofer

Redesigned Speaker Cone

The REVISED shape of the aramid cone offers even greater stiffness and damping, far superior to polypropylene or paper. The added strength allows more flexibility in design to achieve a smoother, extended low-frequency response.
