Elac Vela BS 404 bookshelf speaker, white high-gloss

Majestic sound from a compact design

ELAC is completing the VELA Series with the VELA BS 404, a sophisticated compact speaker that marks the final addition to an impressive product range. Its outstanding size-to-performance ratio lets you experience breathtaking HiFi performance even in smaller spaces.
 

From an illustrious family

This is every bit a VELA speaker: the new BS 404 strikes the perfect balance of design, technology, and pure sound. The cabinets are meticulously crafted from heavy-duty engineered wood and are tilted slightly backward. With their trapezoid shape and large radii, they create a sense of timeless elegance. Premium high-gloss lacquer or wood veneer finishes, combined with the numerous aluminum applications, attest to the passion for detail and pursuit of high quality. Its powerful yet elegant appearance hints at its impressive musical abilities.
 

For spectacular performances

The VELA BS 404 is equipped with a 180 mm woofer that pushes technical boundaries: the large drive system offers impressive dynamics and is supported by a bass-reflex system designed to deliver effortless low-bass power. The AS-XR technology used for the diaphragm creates the perfect balance of stiffness and internal damping that accurately projects the midrange into the room at all times and ensures a seamless transition to the JET tweeter. The JET tweeter is the latest, fifth-generation design offering flawless signal resolution thanks to its ability to reproduce frequencies as high as 50 kHz.
 

Because music delights

The sheer joy of authentic, thrilling musical performances, regardless of genre, is what powers the VELA BS 404. The slightly greater midrange directivity compared with its smaller sibling, the BS 403, makes positioning easier and helps to clearly define the soundstage in rooms with a high proportion of diffuse sound. Regardless of where you place the VELA BS 404 – it blends seamlessly with every interior while delivering astonishing sound.
