Description

The ELAC Debut 2.0 DB53 bookshelf speakers deliver premium audio performance in a compact form factor, ideal for hi-fi enthusiasts and home cinema setups alike.

Whether you're upgrading your stereo system or creating a dynamic surround sound experience, the DB53 speakers provide clear, powerful sound with refined detail.

Designed by legendary audio engineer Andrew Jones, these speakers bring audiophile-level quality to an affordable price point.

Featuring a custom-designed 5.25" aramid-fibre woofer and a wide-dispersion waveguide with a 1" soft-dome tweeter, the DB53 offers a rich and immersive listening experience.

Their elegant, compact cabinet design makes them perfect for use in smaller rooms or as rear surrounds in a multi-channel system.

The updated enclosure and driver design enhances stiffness and minimises unwanted resonance, delivering crisp and accurate sound across all frequencies.
