These speakers can star in your entertainment system
I'm always excited when a new ELAC product comes out — they always offer good looks, convenient setup options, and excellent sound quality. The Debut ConneX DCB41 delivers on that promise, with a relatively compact and elegant form factor and connections for a wide range of sources in your entertainment center. Each speaker gets a solid 50 watts, thanks to an amplifier built into one speaker, and there's Bluetooth on board for music streaming convenience.
Connections for your components
These speakers take up very little space and handle just about everything you might care to connect in a small living room or office system. There's an HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) input for connecting a compatible TV. You can connect a PC to the Type-B USB port, and there's a digital optical input for a gaming console or CD player. If you're a vinyl lover like me, the stereo RCA input features a switchable built-in phono preamp — a must-have. And if you prefer a little added "oomph," you can hook up a powered subwoofer (sold separately) using the mono RCA output.
