The Debut Connex speakers feature two 50-Watt Class D amplifiers built directly into the speaker. These amplifiers have been acoustically matched to the ConneX drivers and are designed to run cool and efficient.

Enhanced Bass Response
ConneX includes Elac’s proprietary XBass Enhancer, providing a better overall bass extension and output (can be turned off). For better lower frequency extension and to minimize ventilation noise, the bass reflex port on the DCB41 is directed to the rear, in an “S” configuration.

HDMI ARC
