Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the ELAC EA101EQ-G Integrated Amplifier!
Since the time we started in 1926, ELAC has always striven to achieve the very best!
While a handful of separates and integrated units offered great sound, none delivered the
performance, flexibility and value essential for a product to carry the ELAC name. So where
none existed before, our engineers started with a clean-sheet and simple design brief: build
the most powerful, versatile, easy-to-use integrated amplifiers imaginable; do it without
compromising sound, reliability and a great user experience; and price it so fairly that it
becomes a hands-down choice even when compared against units at many times the
price.
The BASH ® Amplification System
At its heart is a brand new BASH Tracking Amplifier delivering up to 160 Watts. This new
amplifier uses a modulated switched mode power supply allied to a conventional class AB
amplifier. Switching at more than 400,000 times per second, the supply tracks the incoming
audio signal to ensure that the Class AB amplifier gets only the voltage necessary (with a little
headroom) to cope with today's dynamic movie and music content, thus maximizing the
efficiency and potential of the amplifier.
App-rich Control Flexibility
ELAC's free iOS and Android app allows users to fully control and set up their system. The app
includes innovative features not found on any other products in this class—anywhere.
Input Rename
Easily rename each input to match your source. The revised name will appear in the app
and on the integrated amplifier's front panel display.
Auto Blend and Auto EQ
Through the use of the free iOS and Android app the user first selects a high-pass filter, then
using the smartphones microphone, measures the near-field response of both the main
speakers and subwoofer. Our proprietary algorithm then adjusts the low pass filter to obtain
optimal blending between the subwoofer and main speakers. Auto EQ minimizes the effects
of the rooms acoustics allowing you to hear the sound the designer intended.
Please read and follow the instructions in this guide to assist in proper installation, connection
and use of your ELAC EA101EQ-G Integrated Amplifier.
