The design concept of this spectacular and unusual acoustics over 30 kg recalls the entourage of science fiction films about space and causes surprise. In fact, it is a tribute to the business card of the brand – the famous BS 50, released back in 1953, which was used in the first show "sound and light" held at the Royal château de Chambord. The number in the title indicates the diameter of the original unidirectional spherical body (50 cm) bass reflex type, which is mounted on an elegant metal stand is a tripod. At the top is the earpiece, covered by a neat metal mesh. Above it hangs a large reflector, made in the form of an open oval cover. Inside the sphere there is a patented resonator, amplifying low-frequency component. As the material of the Cabinet used special durable fiberglass resin.
The speaker is a 200 mm two-way coaxial driver with a diffuser from specially treated and impregnated paper. In its centre is inch tweeter with silk dome diaphragm. This system allows you to more accurately focus the scene and to convey to the listener the sound undistorted image reflected geometrically correctly designed reflector. The reflex port is located at the bottom of the spherical housing. At the bottom rear of the Cabinet there are two high-quality speakers terminals for connecting speaker wires on which flaunts a logo of Elipson. Acoustics is able to develop a maximum power of 80 watts, has a high sensitivity of 90 dB, has a resistance of 8 Ohms and is an easy load for an amplifier. The company recommends that you pick up for her in a couple machines with a capacity from 50 to 100 watts.
Founded in 1938, Elipson is the oldest brand specializing in the manufacture of high-end French loudspeakers.More than 60 patents later, Elipson has carved out a place for itself in world acoustics thanks to many now iconic loudspeakers.One of the first achievements of this new team is the 4260 loudspeaker to reinscribe Elipson in its history and its know-how in very high fidelity. For the general public, Elipson has created the Planet L and Planet M, spherical speakers that illustrate the brand's desire to invest in the territory of the house, thanks to an object as beautiful as it is acoustically efficient. The full-range of the historic loudspeakers is replaced by a coaxial driver that precisely focuses the sound and helps create a deep and wide soundstage.Elipson thus synthesizes the best of both eras.
