Description
Using the same technology and materials as the highly acclaimed Vela speaker line, the Vertex Series III combines the aesthetics of an architectural speaker with the performance and dynamics of the Vela series. The easily installed Vertex Series III speakers utilize the same components throughout the series to ensure a perfect sonic match across the line. Keeping with the philosophy of our famous Jet tweeter sound, Vertex series III speakers will complement any environment.
Premium in-wall performance from ELAC
ELAC’s Vertex Series III IW-VJ63-S is a seriously cool in-wall speaker with a built-in enclosure was designed to deliver roughly the same acoustic performance as ELAC’s traditional box speakers. It also borrows tech and materials from their high-end VELA line for audiophile quality sound in a stealthy package. The included paintable grille sits flush with your wall, helping the speaker visually disappear.
High-quality materials and a custom crossover
The ‘VJ63-S is jam-packed with audiophile components, including a proprietary a JET tweeter (ELAC’s take on Air Motion Transformer tweeters) that squeezes air between folds of a film rather than having a cone surface that vibrates. The result is lightning-fast high-frequency response and wide dynamic range. The tweeter also uses a unique deep spheroid waveguide that enhances its dispersion pattern while aiding in efficiency.
ELAC gave this speaker a woofer that can keep up with a fast tweeter. The custom-designed 6″ crystal membrane aluminum woofer handles midrange and bass frequencies and moves quickly without losing detail. To enhance the bass response even further, ELAC gave the ‘VJ63-S a 6-1/2″ passive radiator that uses the same material as the woofer. Both the woofer and tweeter are connected to a sophisticated custom crossover network that ensures smooth transition between the two.
Bringing Core Technology to Custom Audio
JET Folded Air-Motion-Transformer. ELAC’s JET tweeters enthral with their lightning-fast response and wide dynamic range, offering minimal distortion and lots of headroom. A deep spheroid Waveguide is used to improve directivity control and efficiency.
Custom-designed Crystal Membrane Aluminum Woofer. ELAC’s unique Crystal Membrane woofer is extremely rigid, yet lightweight. This woofer is specifically designed to keep up with the speed of the JET Tweeter while delivering detail in low-frequency response.
Aluminum Dog Legs. Custom designed aluminum dog legs provide superior strength and ensure no vibrations when mounted in wall.
Removable painted wood baffle to conceal all hardware.
The Inimitable JET Tweeter
ELAC’s JET tweeter is used throughout their loudspeaker range. This high-frequency driver enthralls with its lightning-fast response and wide dynamic range, offering minimal distortion, lots of headroom, and a distinctly wider frequency range than conventional dome tweeters. The ELAC JET tweeter is one of the most legendary tweeters in the industry and has won international praise with its transparent and effortless sound image.
