FS 609 CE: Improve the best  

 

The best was not good enough for the ELAC 

developers. The new crystal membrane woofer 

technology by the loudspeaker specialists from Kiel in 
the north of Germany created a sensation worldwide. 

So it is clear that the top models are now equipped 

with the award-winning crystal membrane technology, 

as well as 4-Pi-tweeters, X-JET-coaxial drivers and 
other technological goodies. The flagship FS 609 CE 

celebrated its world premiere at the IFA trade fair.  

ELAC's top model of the 600 series shines with new 

chassis technology and in a new design at the 

highest quality level. 
 

 

•

  X-JET of the second generation: 

further optimized magnet system, improved internal 

design with additional damping, new midrange 
membrane configuration with Nomex honeycomb 

material / phenol paper top layers and crystal 

membrane.  

This results in an extended transmission range of the 
midrange part of the X-JET which facilitates more 

linear crossovers to the woofers and tweeters of the 

FS 609 CE. 

 

 

•

  TT 180 AS-XR with crystal membrane in proven 

LLD technology. 

 

•

  Large down-firing BR tube rounded at both sides 

(integrated in the base plate). 

•

  Further 60mm BR tube on the back of the 

cabinet (top) which is closed with a 60mm bass-

control plug as standard. This allows to adjust 

the volume of the low bass in order to 
compensate for room-acoustic  deficiencies 

•

  Control panel for tonal fine tuning  provides two 

contiguous switches. The upper switch enables 

optimum adjustment of the directional pattern of the loudspeaker. It adapts the X-JET III and the 4 PI tweeter 

transmission ranges

 

to

 

individual room conditions and listening preferences. The other switch is used for controlling 

the levels of the midrange / upper midrange (- / 0 / +). This way, the FS 609 CE can be adapted to individual room 
conditions.  

•

  Solid base plate with solid steel core, delivered as a standard fixed to the 

cabinet with screws. 

•

  New, very solidly designed spikes (with M 10 thread) ensure the secure 

position and the necessary clearance to the floor (BR tube at the base). 

•

  Easily accessible, gold-plated WBT connectors.  

•

  Rear panel with aluminium facing and finished in the cabinet colour.
