Description ELAC Vela BS404.2 Bookshelf Speakers The ELAC Vela BS404.2 Bookshelf Speakers are part of the Vela 2.0 range. They are a striking illustration of how design and function can be harmonized. Decorative aluminum elements transform the technical components of the loudspeakers into visual highlights. Sight and sound combined into a duality of delight. The VELA builds on the highly successful and high-performing Series 400 while improving stereo definition and multi-channel audio in modern furnishings. But the advantages are distinct. Combining a newly designed cabinet in combination with the crystal aluminum-sandwich woofer—and ELAC’s inimitable JET 6 tweeter—this speaker is bound to make an impact.
