ELAC Vela BS 404
Details
Compact speaker with 180mm bass/midrange driver
What pleases the eye also pleases the acoustics. The new VELA BS 404 is a compact speaker that combines all elements of the extremely successful VELA series: great technology and exceptional design.
The design of the loudspeaker is unique: Elaborately manufactured housings, trapezoidal and slightly inclined towards the back, high-quality painted or veneered, meet the material aluminum.
The slight tilt of the housing and the new waveguide of the JET-5 tweeter promote precise imaging in rooms with modern furnishings. Details such as the van den Hul internal cabling ensure the best sound reproduction, and bi-wiring terminals also allow for upgrades on the cable or amplifier side.
Optimized speaker chassis reproduce high-energy transients even better. The bass/midrange drivers of the largest floorstanding loudspeaker in the VELA series, the VELA FS 409, are used in the 12 liter housing. A concept that is perfect for larger rooms with little space for speakers and therefore presents the bass reproduction in an absolutely “grown-up” way.
The VELA BS 404 completes the line-up of the VELA series as a wonderfully large but compact speaker.
Form Supports Function
The convex shaped baffle and the large radius’s of the cabinet promote the acoustics because influences of cabinet to frequency response are reduced

Flexible connectivity
Thanks to it’s flexible connections the Vela series offers the ability of using bi-wiring and bi-amping.
