4260
Update : 21/10/2010 - Specification could be changed without notice.
For its 70th birthday, the French company Elipson had to conceive an exceptional pro-
duct:  the 4260, commercial version of the 42XX Concept shown in the last Las Vegas CES, 
is born.
Inspired by the design of the famous 4050 model from the seventies, which was used in the 
French radio and TV studios, this speaker is the flagship of Elipson products.
Pioneer of the spherical speaker for the last 50 years, Elipson has often been copied, but 
never equalled. Elipson is the only company to totally master this process, using internal 
patented resonators. 
The  4260  will  seduce  you  by  its  neutral  and  faithful  sound  reproduction,  the  respect  of 
recordings remains indeed one of the strongest value of the brand.  The 4260 is a concen-
tration of the last 70 years of the Elipson know-how.
The subwoofer rigidity was obtained using the most sophisticated measurement and si-
mulation  tools,  resulting  in  internal  reinforcements  where  every  parameter  is  optimized. 
The chassis of the 38 cm speaker was also stabilized by adding an open frame, applying 
pressure through vibration absorbers. An internal resonator neutralizes the main resonance 
frequency of the box.  A special treatment has been applied to the vent in order to reduce 
distortion in the 3rd harmonic.  Its large size avoids airflow noises.  The up to 75 mm thick box 
is totally inert and vibration free.
The sphere has an internal resonator (Elipson patent) and benefits from the latest techno-
logical improvements concerning materials. The tweeter is ideally situated as far as the 
acoustic phasing is concerned.  The damping material eliminates stationary waves.
The filter, major part, has been adjusted with the biggest care, using the best components 
on the market.
