品牌小故事
德國 ELAC<意力>成立於1926年,作為音響器材廠商,可以講是世界 上最老資格的廠商之一,它的產品足以反映出:勇於創新、製作精工、行事果斷的日爾曼民族精神和德意志傳統作風。意力公司總部位於德國北部波羅的海邊的基己 市。該市曾經是德國最重要的軍港之一,是當時專門製造潛水艇的基地,橫行于二戰期間的U-571型潛水艇就是在這�婸s造的。事實上,意力初期的主要業務就是為軍方生產回聲器、聲納等精密水底探測 裝置。及後於和平時期轉型生產民用音響器材,更於1984年推出其揚名立萬之作:[Miracord] 唱機,後來該機出貨量達至400萬台,令意力有能力置身於世界一線音 響大廠行列。依靠其生產聲納探測器材而積累的高超技術,意力在這76年間己發展成為德國產銷量最大的高 級音響廠商。特別以揚聲器產品極負盛名。
時至今日,意力以品質管理為優先考慮因素,即使成本較貴,亦仍然堅持自行生產,完全沒有依靠OEM,以保證每件產品的精度。
在 揚聲器的製造上,意力的技術也處於領先的地位。360度發聲的4PI <磨菇頭>鋁帶超高音、JET噴射式高音、鋁膜、紙盆 “三文冶” 式中低音單元、NXT平面喇叭等,無一不是領先世界科技之作。
意力音箱系列單元均屬全新設計,高音著重廣闊水平擴散,令音響舞臺感規模宏大,寬闊浩瀚;低音則首次採用0.02mm之超薄鋁膜音盆,能提供極高音壓值。音箱外殼採用了高硬度的輕質材料,所以可重播出龍精虎猛、動態驚 人之寬頻音效。聲音準確非常,完全可適應新世代SACD、DVD-Audio等多聲道音效重播要求!

A name stands for the strategy
In fact, it is the name itself: Electroacustic. This is because the basic principle of the company, added value from ELAC, stands for engineering ingenuity, which constantly produces top performance at ELAC. This element has distinguished ELAC ever since the company was first founded back in 1926. And it still applies to this day. In the process, we have very specific ideas about how we develop and produce our speakers. They must satisfy the exacting standards we set ourselves. In this regard, it is about acoustics - as the name already suggests, about realistic sound. Authenticity. Adding nothing, leaving nothing out. It is all about quality, about longevity and reliability. And of course about fascination.
The result? Exceptional speakers for hi-fi stereo and surround applications, sophisticated PC speakers and other applications for electro-acoustic transducer systems in unsurpassed sound, technical and visual quality.
Principles
The particular characteristic of ELAC engineers is that they are never satisfied. They improve on what already exists and invent new things if these do not already exist. To achieve this, they can draw upon in-house transducer technology and their more than 20 years of expertise in room acoustics. This forms the basis for the high sound and musical quality of the speakers, with models ranging from entry-level equipment to high-end devices.
The speaker specialists from Kiel rely on the success factors “innovation” and “quality”, and pursue a strategy of ongoing technological development within the company. One premise is achieving the greatest possible sound from the smallest possible design. This leads to the creation of compact speakers, carefully crafted on the basis of the ELAC engineers' sheer passion for technology.
Made in Germany
Made in Germany Most of our loudspeakers are handcrafted in Kiel. We only use driver units produced by or only for ELAC. ELAC's know-how is protected by many patents. Every process is based on 100% inspections and a zero-error strategy, in the best traditions of “Made in Germany”.
The customer's rule
ELAC is entirely directed by the customer's satisfaction. Naturally, this also includes quality management management according to ISO 9001:2000. ELAC quality encompasses all production steps, but also the sales procedures and after sale service. Part of this is technical consult by specialists as well as warranty services.
Do-It-Yourself
Development and production under the same roof secure coordination of even the smallest detail. For this, the highly vertically integrated production at ELAC is a major prerequisite. Every working step, from punching the voicecoil formers and winding the voicecoils up to special treatments of membranes and the production of magnets, is executed within the strictest tolerances. Before the next step, the results are checked through adequate measurements.
Outline
The Schleswig-Holstein enterprise employs approx. 50 colleagues in Kiel plus 12 salesmen in Germany and 5 salesmen in specific countries, besides the representatives in numerous foreign countries. About 40 % of the annual gross sales are covered by export. Apart from the “ELAC traditional markets”, China, Taiwan, and Japan, the fastest growing export market is Russia, where quality “Made in Kiel” is highly appreciated.
Sale
In Germany, ELAC products are sold only by authorised dealers. A consistent European distribution system with EU contracts ratified in Brussels guarantees a clean marketing. ELAC is represented by various agents throughout the world, who follow the same distribution concept.
