It is the compact model in the Elegan series, designed for smaller listening rooms, apartments and dedicated two-channel systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDrivers and crossover\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 165 mm woven Kevlar cone covers bass and midrange. The cone is lattice-woven Kevlar treated with a self-damping resin. QUAD chose the material for its low mass, rigidity and controlled self-damping. The 25 mm fabric dome tweeter sits in a waveguide that controls dispersion to keep tonal balance consistent across a wide listening area. A Linkwitz-Riley crossover joins the two drivers at 2.9 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCabinet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet is high-density MDF with internal bracing placed to reduce resonance, and it has an internal volume of 15.5 litres. The rear port uses QUAD's Airflow bass reflex design, with a profiled shape that reduces turbulence. QUAD rates bass extension at 44 Hz (-6 dB).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSetup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elegan 1 is intended mainly for stands and can also sit on a sturdy shelf or wall unit.
