This basically means that a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter and a 4-inch aluminum midrange cone is combined within a single voice coil to deliver the most coherent and accurate reproduction across the treble and midrange frequency. This also provides a flat frequency response and enhanced imaging.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, this kind of design is very expensive, but Andrew Jones&#8217; didn&#8217;t want to make another (very) expensive bookshelf speaker. According to him: <em>&#8220;My goal with the Uni-Fi series was to create a line of speakers with technology and performance normally reserved for speakers costing significantly more. By going with a 3-way design and employing a new in-house developed concentric driver, I\u2019ve achieved a sound that is more true to the music than similar priced products.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course, to keep the cost lower, there are some cost cutting measures; for example the finish used is a simple vinyl wrapping and not some high gloss piano coating or real wood finish. However, despite its looks, I do believe that the Uni-Fi UB5 offers the best (or one of the best) audio performance you buy under $500 USD.<\/p>\n<h4>Additional Features of Uni-Fi Series<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Balanced three-way design<\/strong> &#8211; A three-way speaker offers many advantages in the design of a full-range system. By assigning dedicated drivers to high, mid- and bass frequencies, each is optimized for the frequency range for which its design and material composition is best suited. Drivers like the groundbreaking concentric midrange-tweeter of the Uni-Fi series perform at their best, while larger, aluminum-cone woofers handle the frequency ranges in which they perform best. At the same time, a three-way speaker complement allows for a more straightforward crossover and cabinet design, eliminating complex and costly solutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sophisticated crossover<\/strong> &#8211; One secret to the great sound of the Uni-Fi series are the high quality, audio-grade components specified in the manufacture of each custom, three-way crossover, the careful design of which is essential to smooth transition between the drivers. The best crossovers are the ones in which the sonic landscape\u2014from lowest fundamentals to highest highs\u2014becomes seamless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sophisticated aluminum woofer<\/strong> &#8211; Through the use of aluminum, resonances that affect the linearity of common paper cones can be placed beyond the driver\u2019s operating frequency range. An extended size magnet with vented pole piece increases power handling, for accurate reproduction of bass frequencies that are clean, clear and powerful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Custom-designed binding posts<\/strong> &#8211; The custom terminals provide flexibility of speaker wire connections and ensure optimal electron transfer from speaker cables to the speaker itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Robust cabinets<\/strong> &#8211; Every Uni-Fi enclosure is engineered for the long run with thick MDF outer walls and a luxurious textured vinyl finish. The Uni-Fi cabinets incorporate specially designed internal bracing to add stiffness and strength to the cabinet\u2019s outer walls. This bracing greatly reduces cabinet vibration, which causes unwanted coloration to the sound. ELAC believes that the only parts of a speaker that should be moving are the speaker drivers themselves.<\/p>\n<h3>How does the ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 Sound?<\/h3>\n<p>According to CNET&#8217;s review, the Uni-Fi UB5 delivers &#8220;deep, tight bass; an effortless midrange and sweet highs. The soundstage is wide and unexpectedly deep.&#8221; More from the videos below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"853\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aUDbCy_Ca6I?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Below are sound demo videos from YouTuber Ferdz B:<\/p>\n<p><strong>ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 Lower midrange and vocal test<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe width=\"853\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PfTaUiY3gSA?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>ELAC Uni-Fi B5 Midrange and Treble test, no subwoofer<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe width=\"853\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/za3g8RGRA4k?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Price and Where to Buy<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/avprogear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ELAC-Uni-fi-UB5-Bookshelf-Speaker-with-Blemished-Concentric-Driver.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/avprogear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ELAC-Uni-fi-UB5-Bookshelf-Speaker-with-Blemished-Concentric-Driver-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"ELAC Uni-fi UB5 Bookshelf Speaker with Blemished Concentric Driver\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avprogear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ELAC-Uni-fi-UB5-Bookshelf-Speaker-with-Blemished-Concentric-Driver-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/avprogear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ELAC-Uni-fi-UB5-Bookshelf-Speaker-with-Blemished-Concentric-Driver-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/avprogear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ELAC-Uni-fi-UB5-Bookshelf-Speaker-with-Blemished-Concentric-Driver-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>The ELAC Uni-Fi Speaker series are now available.
