ELAC Vela CC 401 2.5-Way Center Channel Speaker (Gloss Black)

The ELAC VCC401-GB is a center channel speaker created for listeners who expect clear dialogue and a seamless front-stage in their home theater. It uses a 2.5-way layout, placing a hand-assembled JET 5 folded-ribbon tweeter between two 5.9-inch woofers that blend aluminum and paper in each cone. Together, these drivers cover a wide 32 Hz to 50 kHz range, so spoken words sound natural while explosions, music cues, and ambient effects keep their energy and detail.

A trapezoid cabinet, finished in deep gloss black, reduces internal standing waves while the rear-firing bass reflex ports boost low-frequency output without adding noticeable distortion. At roughly 26 pounds, the enclosure feels solid on a shelf or custom stand, yet remains easy to position under a TV or behind an acoustically transparent screen.

For system builders, the VCC401-GB offers bi-wiring and bi-amping terminals, letting you pair it with dedicated amplifier channels or higher-grade speaker cable runs. Its 88.5 dB sensitivity and 4-ohm nominal impedance suit most modern AV receivers and separate amplifiers rated for high-current delivery.

Whether you are assembling a Vela-series surround package, upgrading the dialogue channel in an existing setup, or designing a new media room that demands both style and substance, this speaker integrates smoothly and elevates every soundtrack you play.
