ELAC UCR-52 Reference Center Speaker White

Precise dialogue reproduction for discerning home theater!

The ELAC UCR-52 Uni-Fi Reference is a high-quality passive 3-way center speaker for home theater, home cinema, and multichannel systems. Its design combines a concentric midrange/tweeter driver with two 5.25" aluminum woofers and is specifically engineered for clear, controlled reproduction of voices, dialogue, music, and effects. The frequency response extends from 47 to 35,000 Hz, nominal impedance is 6 ohms, and maximum power handling is 140 watts. With a satin white front and oak-finish side panels, this center speaker also blends elegantly into modern living rooms and home theater spaces.

Concentric midrange/tweeter driver for clear voices

At the heart of the UCR-52 is the distinctive concentric driver unit from the Uni-Fi Reference series. It combines a 1" soft-dome tweeter with a 4" aluminum midrange driver. The tweeter has an extended frequency range, while the midrange driver features a larger voice coil, aluminum cone, shallow surround, neodymium magnet system, and sturdy cast basket. This combination enables a controlled acoustic handoff and supports precise localization of voices and key movie effects. This even, detailed reproduction is especially important in the center channel for intelligible dialogue.

Two 5.25" aluminum woofers for dynamic movie sound

Two 5.25" aluminum woofers flank the concentric midrange/tweeter unit. Their one-piece, curved aluminum cones are housed in rigid die-cast baskets. Larger magnet systems and optimized ventilation support linear cone movement and controlled reproduction of the bass and mid-bass ranges. This gives the center speaker not only speech intelligibility, but also the substance needed for soundtracks, effects, and dynamic movie scenes.

Rigid cabinet with low-noise bass reflex system

The CARB2-compliant MDF cabinet features extensive internal bracing to reduce cabinet resonances and the resulting sound coloration. The side-mounted, double-flared bass reflex ports are designed for high bass output with reduced airflow noise. The curved front also supports the open acoustic character of the Uni-Fi Reference series. A magnetically attached grille can be quickly removed when needed.

Optimized for the center position in home theater

The UCR-52 is designed to be placed above or below a TV or projection screen and should be aimed toward the listening area whenever possible. For the center channel, ELAC recommends setting the speaker size to "Small" and choosing a crossover frequency between 50 and 100 Hz in the AV receiver, if this setting is available. The internal 3-way crossover operates at 240 Hz and 1,800 Hz. Bi-wire-capable 5-way speaker terminals allow flexible integration into high-performance home theater and multichannel systems.
