Morel Elate Carbon 52A 2 Way Component Speaker System

The Morel Elate Carbon 52A is a 5.25-inch 2-way active component speaker system from Morel's Elate Carbon range, featuring MW5 carbon fibre woofers and MT450 compact silk dome tweeters. It is designed for DSP or active crossover setups and runs without passive crossovers.

The 52A is the active version of the Elate Carbon 52: it is supplied without passive crossovers, so the drivers are run from a DSP or active crossover with their own amplifier channels.

Elate Carbon 52A: 5.25-inch active 2-way component system

The Elate Carbon range shares most of its high-end componentry with Morel's Pro siblings, whilst taking a more focused approach to fitment. These 2-way systems are designed for listeners who want top-tier performance with a discreet tweeter. The compact MT450 fits most factory locations or space-limited areas using the supplied mounts.

Despite its small size, the MT450's Acuflex-coated silk dome, open cavity design and dual neodymium magnet motor deliver strong detail and a smooth, flat frequency response.

Each woofer in the Elate Carbon range features a Klippel-optimised EVC motor with a large 3-inch diameter voice coil and a carbon fibre/Rohacell sandwich cone, providing ultra-low distortion and high power handling.
