Product Identity

The Elac DFR52-BK is a floorstanding loudspeaker from the Debut Reference series, finished in black walnut. It uses a three-way bass-reflex design with a one-inch soft-dome tweeter, a 5.25-inch aramid-fibre midrange driver and dual 5.25-inch aramid-fibre woofers in a CARB2-rated MDF cabinet.

Critical Specification

Nominal impedance is six ohms and sensitivity is rated at 87 dB, so the amplifier must be stable into a six-ohm load and provide enough current for the 140-watt power rating. Buyers whose electronics are specified only for eight-ohm loads should verify compatibility before purchasing.

Thermals Noise Power

Passive operation means the speaker generates no fan noise and draws no power from the mains. Heat is limited to the voice coils during high-level playback, and the dual flared slot ports are designed to reduce port turbulence at the 42 Hz low-frequency extension.

Questions about this item

What does the 87 dB sensitivity mean for real-world volume?

At 87 dB sensitivity, the DFR52-BK produces a moderate output level from one watt at one metre; you will need an amplifier that can cleanly deliver up to the 140 W power rating into 6 ohms to reach high volumes without distortion.

How do the 5-way binding posts limit the cables I can use?

The 5-way metal binding posts accept bare wire, spade lugs, pin connectors and 4 mm banana plugs, so any standard speaker cable termination will work; they impose no electronic bandwidth limit on the 42 Hz–35 kHz frequency response.

Will the 39.99-inch height and 7.28-inch width fit my room layout?

Each speaker stands 39.99 inches tall, 7.28 inches wide and 9.52 inches deep, so measure floor clearance and distance from walls; the magnetic fabric grille adds minimal depth and removes easily for driver access.
