What is SOPA?

Many websites world wide are shutting down or alerting people to the dangers of SOPA. We join them in making people aware of SOPA and encourage individuals to contact their congressman or fill out one of the many online forms.

The New Year Ushers in a Few Modifications.

January 13th, 2012

Howdy guys (and gals)!

Starting February 15th we will be making quite a few temporary changes to the product lineup.  The reason is to focus on core products, to focus on what makes us who we are, and to have immediate supply for our highest demand items.  From now until February 15th, we will be focusing on satisfying all current orders on all of these products.  If you see anything on the list that you were on the fence about getting, now is the time to put that order in; as after February 15th the following items will be on a full hiatus (or have extremely limited quantities from our final push before the hiatus):

Home Subwoofers:
A3S-250
A2-250
A3-250
A3-300
A5S-300
A7S-450
A7-900

A-Series Full Range:
A4.b
A4.mtm
A6.cc

DIY kits:
19Ov.2 Vented Kit
Single 12 vented Kit

VSi Boxes:
Honda Ridgeline
tC sidemount
xB underseat

All stock sealed and vented enclosures for car use.

So you might be thinking, “Well, geez. That’s a big list. What products will you guys have available after February 15th?”

Available products AFTER February 15th:

Home Subwoofers:
A2-300

A5-350
A5S-325
A7S-650
A7-350
A7-450
P7-650

A-Series Full Range:

A6.mtm
A6.t

DL-Series Full Range:

DL6.b
DL6.cc
DL6.t

eD[c]inema Full Range:

eD[c]6
eD[c]6.c
eD[c]12
eD[c]6 slant
eD[c]12.Center (Yes, it is coming soon)
Also all eD[c] products will be offered only in the smoother full range matte finish.

EL-Series Full Range:

EL6.3b
EL8.3c
EL8.3t

Dual 13av.2 DIY kit

Our goal and focus is to have these items in stock and shipping same day at all times. When it comes down to making decisions like this, it is never easy, but it’s always necessary when discussing the growth and future of the company. We are still 100% open to doing custom items as well, so feel free to call us if you have ideas or need something custom done.

Again, if you want anything that is on the website right now that is headed for hiatus/sabbatical, make sure to put the order in before February 15th. This isn’t a change that will last forever as these items or their updates will return when the time is right. But that time just isn’t right now.

There’s a spot in the forum you can openly discuss these changes that can be found here: http://forum.edesignaudio.com/showthread.php/were-making-some-changes-starting-76834.html?p=621402#post621402

October 28th, 2011

The main lobby area of the Elemental Designs HQ is in need of a re-design.  For the last 6 years it has been all car audio reviews and magazine covers.  We are now looking at our customer base to assist in the decorating.

What we want to do is frame some of our customers photographs, they can be of anything from our home audio line, or DIY that you built with our speakers.

It can be of the entire room, close ups of the speakers, or really anything. Here are some great examples.

Photo submissions can be done here:  Elemental Designs Forum or by emailing brettb@elementaldesigns.com

Please include the products you are running so we can include them in the photo.

The top 3 photos will also receive a special prize.

 

 

Upgrades, Updates, and Upbeat

October 21st, 2011

We’ve been quite busy as of late getting the final stages done in some upgrades and custom work within the eD[c]inema speaker lineup.

First up is the finish options:
Standard finish compared to the Matte Finish.  Our standard option is a light texture finish similar to that used on our subwoofers while the matte finish is an optional upgrade.  This is the same finish used on our A6, DL, and EL series products.

Standard Finish on the left and the Matte finish on the right.  Take note of the pretty extensive bracing being used.

Once again, Standard finish on the Left and Matte Finish on the Right.

 

The matte finish is for those who require a slightly higher WAF finish.  For those looking to have the best, we also offer all eD[c]inema series speakers in gloss black.

Interesting request came through for some of the eD[c]6 bookshelf speakers to be installed into an angled cabinet.  A few teaser pictures as these are headed into paint.

Once completed and on the website, these will be known as the eD[c]6 Slant and sold in pairs much like the standard eD[c]6.

Second up would be the compression driver upgrade option:

Many ask this question, “What is the difference and is it for me?”

The main difference is the smoothness of the driver and a gain in detail as you step up to the DE250.  Both are highly efficient and very detailed, as you put power to them the difference starts to stand out a bit more.  The DE250 just feels a bit more relaxed in the reproduction, for those that are going to be pushing up the SPL this is definitely an option to consider.  Some will view the stock compression driver to be a bit more aggressive at higher SPL levels.

Please note, we can upgrade any component in these speakers.  It generally is then considered a custom project as we will have to go through with a custom crossover network designed via LMS testing on the actual unit as well.  If you wanted a Horn Body change and a larger cabinet to fit a pair of 15″ drivers, we can do it.  It is one of the beautiful things of doing these things in house; you want it, we can build it.

Third is the inclusion into the package builder:

If you are looking to do the eD[c] lineup in the package builder, they are now active.  If you would like to do the upgraded compression driver please just give us a call as we have to add that to the order manually at this time.

Upbeat in the Shop:

All in all I know everyone here is extremely excited about this lineup and we are working through to get all existing orders headed out as quickly as we can.  The paint booth has been full of eD[c] Cabinets coming through with both the standard finish and the Matte finish.



Have a Great Weekend!

Car Audio Power

September 23rd, 2011

We get a lot of emails and phone calls inquiring about amplifiers in the car audio market.  Yes, the NINe.series amplifiers are on Hiatus.  But that doesn’t mean we have given up on the amplifier side of things.  Though due to agreements based on internet sales, we can’t post all of the offerings we have and pricing on these amplifiers.

So then the question becomes, Well what amplifiers do you guys offer?

Avionixx: We revisited with this as we knew the NINe.series was going to take a break.  Sharing the same design ideal as our NINE.x series, true power, no BS features, and lots of heatsink to keep them cool.  What you’ll find with these amplifiers are they make rated or even more on the power side.  They stay clean, have a clean look, and now even offer a small digital lineup.  Unfortunately we can’t post them on the site, so if you’d like more information please give us a call and we will be more then happy to match up the best amplifier for your install.

Replacements are available for almost all NINe.x models from within the Avionixx lineup.

Please check out Avionixx for specifications and models.

 

 

DLS: Amazingly clean amplifiers, well known in Europe as one of the major SQL brands.  We are happy to offer the entire lineup of DLS amplifiers and Component speakers.  With amplifiers available for everyones needs. Ranging from a small 5 channel, to the Ultimate Tube amplifier.

Pricing updates quite regularly so it is best to give us a call on these amplifiers. It is also worth noting that we can still offer some price breaks based on package pricing, so when you are looking for that specific power, specific size, or even just wondering if an upgrade exists over your current system.  We are more then happy to hear from you.

Check out this great all DLS install our friend Red did in his Tacoma.

Introducing the eD[C]inema Lineup

August 12th, 2011

We are very excited to release our newest line of home speakers.  The eD[C]inema line development began over three years ago and molded into their current form. We encourage you to take advantage of the pre-order pricing and ask any questions you may have!

In June we polled customers about what they would like to see from our newest line of speakers.  This product line would be replacing the popular US-6T6 models, designed for those with a home Cinema, or looking for that big sound experience.  Created based on customer feedback.

The end result is our new eD[c]12, eD[c]6 and eD[c]6center.

Developed, engineered and produced in our Iowa facility using Green building techniques, and US labor.

All eD[c] speakers feature high efficiency midrange and horn loaded compression driver.
