Introduction / General

What is so special with ELAC Active Monitor AM 180?
With an ELAC complete active speaker you got a full-fledged product which can universally be connected to many
different sources, such as CD player, radio, streaming client or notebook computer. But it is also suitable for the
professional or semi-professional use (as recording monitor e.g. on a mixing console). For the first time the well
known ELAC JET tweeter is powered by an active speaker.
Because of its compact size, the AM 180 can be used in several situations where high level sound quality is de-
manded, without the need of an additional power amp.

Connection facilities

ELAC powered speakers are supplied with connections to nearly all kinds of audio sources.

powered speaker. A suitable adaptor from phone plug 3.5 mm to RCA jacks is included.

First you can adjust the signal volume via remote or direct control. Second, the devices own internal loudspeakers
are switched off (muted) by inserting the phone plug, allowing the ELAC powered speaker the audio reproduction
alone.
