Versatility is a key aspect of the Debut 3.0 Series. The high-level input and output options facilitate easy connection with a wide range of AV receivers and stereo amplifiers, ensuring compatibility across various setups. Whether paired with ELAC’s own Debut 3.0 loudspeakers or integrated into a different system, these subwoofers promise reliable performance and ease of installation. The range of sizes allows users to choose the best fit for their room dimensions and bass preferences.
In terms of specifications, the 10-inch model starts at $479, the 12-inch at $599, and the 15-inch at $949, making them accessible options for those looking to enhance their audio experience without a hefty investment. All models are expected to be available through Crutchfield and authorized dealers by June 2025.
