Whether you’re building a dedicated cinema room or enhancing a two-channel system, this powerful subwoofer delivers exceptional performance at every listening level.
Powerful 15-Inch Custom Driver
At the heart of the ELAC Varro PS500-BK is a custom 15-inch treated paper cone driver designed for deep, impactful bass. The driver features a large 2.0-inch voice coil that improves power handling and thermal management, enabling the subwoofer to produce higher sound pressure levels (SPL) with remarkable clarity and control. This results in tight, accurate bass reproduction that enhances everything from cinematic explosions to subtle musical textures.
High-Performance BASH Amplification
The ELAC Varro PS500-BK utilises advanced BASH amplifier technology, widely regarded as one of the most efficient and dynamic amplifier designs for subwoofers.
BASH amplification uses tracking voltage technology, allowing the amplifier to deliver maximum voltage swing and dynamic power exactly when needed. The result is greater bass impact, higher output capability, improved efficiency, and reduced thermal stress.
This technology ensures the subwoofer plays louder, cleaner, and more dynamically than conventional designs.
Advanced Dual DSP Processing
Precision control is handled by a dual 28-bit Digital Signal Processor (DSP) operating with a 147 MHz master clock. This powerful DSP platform processes audio signals with exceptional accuracy and extremely low latency.
The DSP ensures precise bass control, optimised performance across frequencies, and smooth integration with your main speakers, delivering tight and controlled bass with incredible detail and speed.
Smart APP Control with Auto EQ
ELAC is a pioneer in APP-controlled subwoofer technology, and the Varro PS500-BK features the advanced ELAC Sub Control 3.0 App for Android and iOS devices.
Using your smartphone or tablet, you can easily control and optimise the subwoofer from the comfort of your listening position.
- Control multiple subwoofers simultaneously
- Adjust volume, crossover, and phase settings
- Perform automatic room calibration
- Optimize performance using your smartphone microphone
The Auto EQ system measures both near-field and listening position responses and intelligently corrects room-induced peaks and dips using 16 internal parametric EQ filters. This advanced calibration ensures accurate, balanced bass regardless of placement, giving you greater flexibility in positioning the subwoofer.
Rigid Cabinet Design for Maximum Performance
The ELAC Varro PS500-BK is housed in a highly rigid 30mm cabinet that is internally braced and damped to eliminate unwanted resonance. Finished in an elegant vinyl wrap, the enclosure is designed to be both acoustically optimised and visually refined, allowing it to blend seamlessly into modern living spaces while maintaining exceptional acoustic integrity.
