About this item

  • CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER - The Debut 2.0 C5.2 paints a majestic soundstage that brings movies and music to life. With a black ash vinyl finish and newly developed tweeters, woofers & cabinets, this speaker makes a life-sized impression.
  • CLOTH DOME TWEETER - The soft-dome tweeter features wide-roll surround & takes response up to 35,000 Hz for life-like high frequencies. The waveguide improves directivity control & eliminates diffraction modes inherent in traditional box enclosures.
  • WOVEN ARAMID-FIBER WOOFER - The aramid cone shape offers even greater stiffness and damping, far superior to polypropylene or paper. The added strength allows more flexibility in design to achieve a smoother, extended low-frequency response.
  • THICK MDF CABINETS - The MDF cabinets are larger and internally braced for greater stiffness & strength, reducing cabinet vibrations. Plus, the front-firing ports prevent placement against walls or in bookshelves from compromising performance.
  • OPTIMIZED CENTER SPEAKERS - We optimized sensitivity and impedance to minimize the power requirement from the AV receiver, maximizing dynamic impact from lower cost receivers.
  • REDESIGNED FROM THE GROUND UP - The original Debut Series changed the game & now it’s changed again with the Debut 2.0 Series. Redesigned from the ground up, they sound more remarkable than the speakers that sparked a revolution in high-end sound.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sleeper Center of the Year, Definite keeper!!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2021

    My neighbor and I are older and not wiser types, and we have 5 home theater systems between us. So we enjoy the endless quest for musical perfection, (within means) and have a lot of fun competing in unison in the journey to musical Mecca. We are definitely old school, and enjoy the old legacy stuff that was beyond our means while raising kids and paying mortgages. Steve Gutenberg is our hero, and has given us years of guidance, and discussion in sorting thru the throngs of good stuff out there, to the speakers we deem as magical. When I say magic I am talking about the speakers that immediately jump out and grab the spotlight, and there is no denying they have superior sound. Well the ELAC Debut 2.0 C5.2 Center is a true standout, and is an undisputed champion. Another reviewer called it the Holy Grail of centers and I confidently second that. What is interesting is the way the speaker projects the vocals, it fills the void in the center of the room. It is almost holographic, and very rich and vibrant, like a lead singer in the band morphing in your living room. It swiftly replaced my older Boston acoustic VR-10 center, and that is a tall order, but it really is, that good. It is not a small speaker, but has enough "cajones" to fill the center stage wonderfully. We have placed this speaker into 4 of the 5 systems and the improvement was significant in all cases. It just seems to meld into each system and sounds subtlety unique in each configuration, what a great quality! Giving it some juice only makes it feel larger, fuller and clearer as it blossom's and fills the room with sweet velvety goodness. Needless to say my buddy ordered one that night as well, this center easily checks all the boxes, and adds a new one called emotion, (that smile on your face, as your head bobs with the jams) . If your system is a little yawnish (not spectacular), and needs something to bring it up wow standards, just drop one of these baby's into the mix and enjoy the upgrade. NO Regrets, No turning back. It's a super great value.
    If you are starting with a new system, go ahead and pick your other speakers, what ever they are, but reserve the center spot for this future "Hall of Fame" Elac!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great center speaker... but note the size!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    ELAC has a long history and they're well-known recently for their bookshelf speakers, which sound great and are reasonably priced (especially when on sale!) I had Elac Debut speakers for my home theater and decided the Debut center speaker would be a great addition. I have been thrilled with this, it provides great clarity and holds its own as a center channel speaker in a way that my previous Polk center channel didn't. What I didn't expect is how BIG this thing is. I have my TV on a riser on a TV stand and, thankfully, this just barely fits under it. If you've got the space for this thing, it's definitely worth it!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Better than most center speakers
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I seldom use anything but pure stereo for most music, but a center is very useful with big screen video and the Elac is my favorite of the major brands tried, such as the Paradigm it replaced or Infinity, Polk, Bose and others I’ve tried. That said, I notice definite listening fatigue with concert documentaries and have yet to identify a specific cause, so keeping the re-coned cc170 center if I can’t get my Onkyo receiver Linn Tukan’s and M&K sub to play nice with a center speaker.

    These Elacs are designed by Andrew Jones, the same guy who designed the Pioneer home theater system that I use with my other TV. Both systems are great. The Pioneers are "brighter" than the Elacs. This means more zing with symbols, acoustic guitar plucking, etc. However, the pioneers can be overly sibilant, meaning a harshness with the "S" sound, or poorer-quality recordings of '60s music, etc. The Elac speakers do not have this harshness.
    I would recommend the Elacs to anyone wanting great sound at a modest price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing sound, clarity and separation
    Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I replaced an older Polk CSi3 center speaker with this ELAC C5.2 center channel in my surround sound system.
    The difference was immediately obvious. The Polk center was a very good speaker and top of the Polk line when I purchased it years ago but this ELAC is a step up in clarity, imaging and separation. Voices are clear, the highs are never harsh, the mid range is beautiful and natural, and the bass is nice and tight with no muddiness or port noise.
    The Cons:
    It is pretty big. I have it directly under a 55" inch flat screen and it is noticeably large. Large boxes make better bass though so that is the price to pay.
    Compared to the Polk, it is not as pretty. The fit and finish is flawless but not flashy. I use them with the grills off as I prefer the look.
    Not really a negative but these speakers are not as efficient as some others so they require a bit more power. I am using a newer low-end Yamaha RX-V383 surround receiver though and it sounds great.
    The ELAC speakers sound amazing and after a year I'm still enamored with the sound.

    Elac gives you entry level, high end speakers at mass market prices. This center speaker replaces a 25 year old PSB. It is superior in all ways. I like accurate, clean sound. It delivers. The speaker is quite large and can move plenty of air giving you the "wall of sound". The better the amplification, the better the sound as well. That is another sign of a good speaker.

    Con esta bocina Elac debut 2, ya no se queda chica con el volúmen, las voces son nítidas en todo momento.
    Tenía dudas en cuanto a los ohms que debería recibir esta bocina, afortunadamente puede recibir 4, 6 u 8 ohms. Según el manual de usuario.
    Es una bocina grande y pesada para considerar su ubicación.
