ELAC Debut series speakers have been a customer favorite for years, because they deliver sound quality that punches above their price point. The Debut Connex Adsum powered speakers take that signature sound and package it with a built-in amp, Bluetooth, and lots of other connections for an all-in-one audio solution, with design cues taken from Brooklyn clothing company Adsum for a hip, modern look.
Think of the possibilities: plug in your TV to the HDMI ARC input, and you've got an instant audio upgrade for movies and gaming. Hook up your turntable using the built-in phono preamp and hear your vinyl in all its two-channel glory, or use the input in "line" mode to connect some older gear. Connect your computer to the USB input, and use the high-res digital-to-analog converter to render your digital tunes in satisfying detail. There's even an optical input for more options.
And of course, you've got Bluetooth with aptX for the utmost convenience, and good sound quality when you stream from a phone or tablet.
That sound is punchy and accurate, and even though the speakers are small they deliver satisfying bass. If you want more low end impact, they blend great with your favorite powered subwoofer. However, in smaller spaces with the right placement, you may find you don't need it.
The Adsum are identical to another speakers in the Elac Connex family, the ELAC Debut Connex DCB41, which offer the same sound quality and functionality but with a more traditional design. If you prefer that more traditional look but want the same sound quality as the Adsum, check out the DCB41 here: crutchfield.com/i-rYTVc316/p_970DCB41BK/ELAC-Debut-ConneX-DCB41-Black.html
The ELAC Debut Connex Adsum powered speakers take up little space, and come with stylish stands for raising them up a bit. They make for a wonderful system in an office, bedroom, dorm room, or other smaller space, but can fill up a medium-sized room, too. They're also great TV speakers, delivering clearer dialogue and crisper sound than the TV's speakers can.
