Morel Elate Carbon 5.25" (130mm) 3-Way Component Speaker Set - Active
Product Description
The Morel Elate Carbon 5.25" 3-Way Active Component Speaker Set (MOR ELAT CAR 53A) is the crossover-free, active configuration of the Elate Carbon 53 — placing the MT450 tweeter, MM3 3.5" midrange and 5.25" EVC™ woofer on three independent DSP-controlled amplifier channels for the highest achievable front-stage performance in a compact 5.25" woofer format. With all three drivers powered and tuned independently, the 53A represents the most capable front-stage system available for vehicles where the door installation restricts woofer size to 5.25".
Active operation transforms the character of a 3-way system by eliminating every passive crossover compromise simultaneously — no reactive component losses at any crossover transition point, no group delay artefacts, and no fixed crossover frequencies. The MM3 midrange benefits particularly from active control, with its lower crossover point chosen freely in the DSP to maximise integration with the 5.25" woofer in the actual measured vehicle environment. The MT450 tweeter is crossed actively at the optimal frequency, and the EVC™ woofer is driven by its own dedicated channel for maximum bass control.
- Three-way active system in a 5.25" footprint — MT450, MM3 and EVC™ woofer each on a dedicated amplifier channel; maximum performance from three Reference-class drivers in a compact format
- Full DSP control across all three drivers — both crossover points, slopes, time alignment, phase and level all set in the processor; no passive network constraints at any transition frequency
- MM3 midrange performance maximised by active operation — EVC™ motor and carbon fibre / Rohacell™ cone express full linearity and extension when driven actively on a dedicated channel
- Compact MT450 tweeter for discreet installation — Acuflex™ dome and dual neodymium motor; fits factory locations for a clean, OEM-quality installed result
For the passive crossover version see MOR ELAT CAR 53. Compatible with Morel's MDSP amplifier range and all leading DSP processors.
