Jet Folded Ribbon Tweeter

Delivering true high-definition sound, 

ELAC’s JET tweeters enthrall with its 

lightning-fast response and wide dynamic 

range, offering minimal distortion, lots of 

headroom and a wider frequency range. 

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.

Sophisticated Compound Curvature 

Aluminum Woofer

To match the capabilities of the JET 

tweeter and guarantee a seamless 

transition from the woofer to the JET 

tweeter, the compound curvature cone 

has been developed to control the cone 

breakup and move it well beyond the 

operating range of the woofer. 

A large diameter voice coil and oversized 

vented pole piece magnet combine to 

give remarkable bass dynamics and a rich 

powerful performance.

Downward Firing Ports

For a more flexible speaker placement 

and to minimize ventilation noise, the 

bass reflex port on the Carina series is 

directed to the floor, exiting the bottom 

of the speaker cabinet in a down-firing 

configuration.
