ELC 26 100° x   12° (HxV)

Dual 6.5” + 1” / 2-way hornloaded line-array speaker / 500W (RMS)

The ELC26 is a horn-loaded dual 6.5 "/ 1" high-performance line array module. With a height of 21 cm only, the ELC26 is ultra-compact. This provides a very tight coupling of the single components, which ensures a uniform vertical dispersion. The speaker components are specially developed for the ELC26. They allow an extremely high load capacity and thus a maximum sound pressure of 130dB (80 Hz-20 KHz). Up to 16 units can be flown a one line, which covers events of 8,000 people or more and providing an outstanding performance.

► 100° x 12° (H x V) nominal coverage
► Max. sound pressure level 130 dB (80 Hz-20 kHz)
► 500 W speaker power capability / 16 ohms impedance
► High driver unit with 1,75“ PM4 voice coil
► Fully integrated flyware
► Cabinet can be stacked onto E18SUB subwoofer
► 18 kg weight

The ELC26 is a two-way high performance line array speaker in a trapezoidal chassis for fixed installations and mobile use. The cabinet is equipped with one 1" HF driver (1.75” voice coil), which is mounted onto the waveguide. The nominal coverage is 100° x 12° (H x V). The MF/LF section is equipped with two high-performance 6.5" speaker (2” voice coils), which are hornloaded. The 6.5” transducers are contructed behind the horn of the high-frequency section (coaxial construction). The ELC26 can be flown by using the EC1 flyframe. The ELC26 is compatible with almost all other ELITE models including ELITE subwoofers. The ELC26 can be stacked onto the E18SUB subwoofer by using the ESA1 adapter frame (option). The chassis is constructed from 15 mm plywood (birch) and covered with black PolyCoat© finish. The cabinet is equipped with two grip handles and one front grill with transparent charcoal foam backing. Two speakon connectors (NL4) are mounted at the rear side of the chassis for signal input (input) and signal link (link).The power rating of the ELC26 is 500 W (RMS), the impedance is 16 ohms.

EHORN | Hornloaded Core-Technology.

Line array systems are usually a combination of different technologies. The mid/high frequency range is covered by standard array cabinets. This enables high reach. But subwoofers are mostly based on direct reflecting or similar technologies. This results in different maximum reach and SPL between mid/high and sub/low frequency range. The solution for the same maximum reach along the whole frequency range: The ELITE family is completely based on NOVAs „EHORN“ technology. All models including subwoofers are fully horn-loaded.

ELITE systems offer the same SPL along the whole relevant frequency range from 20 - 20.000 Hz.
The result is an equable increase of reach.

The „Physical Correction“.

The vertical arrangement of several loudspeakers in a row results in an increase of reach. This offers the possibility of straight sound reinforcement along defined listener´s surfaces. The existing line array technologies offer well horizontal dispersion and a front-to-back coverage. Different technologies are used to avoid interferences and holes in the defined field.

In spite of every effort, many manufacturers simply do not respect important laws of physics like:
► Identical SPL from 20 - 20.000 Hz
► Precise, equable dispersion from 20 - 20.000 Hz
► Correct signal-runtime from every component (each single woofer  and  driver to each other inside a cabinet)
► Interferences and trouble-making „beam“ between  two woofers inside of one line array cabinet

NOVAs engineering department has respected all this points. Due to the unique combination of innovative technologies ELITE speakers are so-called „physically corrected“. This results in an increased functionality of a true line array system.

EWAVE | The high-efficient Waveguide.

Since the line array has come into vogue, countless designs revolving around to achieve the correct time behavior at high frequencies. It was mostly about trying a variety of single phasing lines to achieve the desired time response. With the skillful interpretation also leads to the target in relation to time. The most "adventurous" diversions are often the reason for higher distortions. As in our NOVA AT2 line array element (ATLAS series), we go a different way. We make the waveguide as small as possible and prefer to put in yet another driver. We divide the waveguide of each driver in just two phasing lines. The results are also a real-time behavior but at lower distortion.

EPLUG | Increased Midrange-SPL.

NOVAs engineers have developed the so-called „EPLUG“ for higher sound pressure at the important frequency range between 500 Hz and 2.000 Hz. This technology is based on an especially calculated phase plug, which works onto the woofer of the mid frequencies. The EPLUG compresses the air molecules between membran and phase plug. This results in much higher sound pressure. Based on this technology, ELITE speakers deliver more sound pressure in this important range. It enables the use of even a 15" speaker without lost of the important mid frequencies. The crossover frequency between mid speaker and high driver can be set much higher then usually.
