Frequently Asked Questions - Elate Titanium 903 Morel

What is the recommended placement for the Elate Titanium 903 speakers?

For optimal imaging, place the speakers 2-3 feet from the wall behind them, and angle them slightly towards the listening position. Ensure they are on a stable surface or stands at ear level.

Do I need to break in the speakers?

Yes, allow 50-100 hours of playback at moderate volume for the drivers to reach their full potential. During break-in, the suspension and cone materials settle.

Can I bi-wire or bi-amp these speakers?

Yes, the Elate Titanium 903 has dual binding posts that allow bi-wiring or bi-amping. Remove the metal jumpers between terminals to separate the woofer and tweeter circuits.

What amplifier power is recommended?

We recommend an amplifier with 50-250 watts RMS per channel. Ensure the amp is stable into 8 ohms. Morel speakers are efficient, so even moderate power yields good volume.

Are the speakers magnetically shielded?

Yes, the Elate Titanium 903 features magnetic shielding, making them safe for use near CRT televisions or other sensitive equipment.

What is the warranty coverage?

Morel offers a 5-year warranty to the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship. Proof of purchase is required.

How do I clean and maintain the speakers?

Use a soft, dry cloth to dust the cabinet. For grilles, vacuum gently with a brush attachment. Avoid cleaning agents that may damage the wood veneer or driver cones.

Can I use these speakers for home theater?

Absolutely. The Elate Titanium 903 works excellently as front left/right speakers in a home theater system. Pair with a center channel and subwoofer for a full surround setup.

What is the impedance of these speakers?

The nominal impedance is 8 ohms. Minimum impedance dips to 4 ohms at certain frequencies, so choose an amplifier that can handle 4-ohm loads for best performance.

How do I replace the grille?

The grille attaches via magnetic strips. Simply align it with the front of the cabinet and it will snap into place. No tools required.

Active Configuration

Setting up the Elate Titanium system system using an external electronic crossover network may vary on the processor itself, the car cabin acoustic attributes, and mounting location of the drive units. Choosing proper crossover points and slopes can greatly effect the system performance.

The following guidelines should be used to assure each drive unit in the system performs to the highest level. The Optimal Crossover Points/Slope guide should be used for most vehicle applications. Advanced users may refer to the Recommended Crossover Range/Minimum Slope guide for fine system fine tuning.
