Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the ELAC EA101EQ-G Integrated Amplifier!

Since the time we started in 1926, ELAC has always striven to achieve the very best!

While a handful of separates and integrated units offered great sound, none delivered the performance, flexibility and value essential for a product to carry the ELAC name. So where none existed before, our engineers started with a clean-sheet and simple design brief: build the most powerful, versatile, easy-to-use integrated amplifiers imaginable; do it without compromising sound, reliability and a great user experience; and price it so fairly that it becomes a hands-down choice even when compared against units at many times the price.

The BASH® Amplification System

At its heart is a brand new BASH Tracking Amplifier delivering up to 160 Watts. This new amplifier uses a modulated switched mode power supply allied to a conventional class AB amplifier. Switching at more than 400,000 times per second, the supply tracks the incoming audio signal to ensure that the Class AB amplifier gets only the voltage necessary (with a little headroom) to cope with today's dynamic movie and music content, thus maximizing the efficiency and potential of the amplifier.

App-rich Control Flexibility

ELAC's free iOS and Android app allows users to fully control and set up their system. The app includes innovative features not found on any other products in this class—anywhere.

Input Rename

Easily rename each input to match your source. The revised name will appear in the app and on the integrated amplifier's front panel display.

Auto Blend and Auto EQ

Through the use of the free iOS and Android app the user first selects a high-pass filter, then using the smartphones microphone, measures the near-field response of both the main speakers and subwoofer. Our proprietary algorithm then adjusts the low pass filter to obtain optimal blending between the subwoofer and main speakers. Auto EQ minimizes the effects of the rooms acoustics allowing you to hear the sound the designer intended.

Please read and follow the instructions in this guide to assist in proper installation, connection and use of your ELAC EA101EQ-G Integrated Amplifier.

See Section: IR Remote Features for additional information.

BLUETOOTH PAIRING (EA101EQ-G App)

The EA101EQ-G App is a setup app that can run on either Android or iOS devices. The Android version can be downloaded from Play Store. The iOS version can be downloaded from App Store.

  1. With the app downloaded and installed, confirm that Bluetooth is ON on the phone or tablet to be used by going to Settings and then Bluetooth in the device menu.
  2. Launch the EA101EQ-G App. A black ELAC Screen will appear with an instruction to select a device from the list. Tap EA101EQ-G Control and the app will sync to the amp. Typically, once the app has been synchronized to the amp from a phone or tablet, unless the app gets uninstalled, the app will automatically sync to the EA101EQ-G amp if the amp is in range and the app has not been turned off. If the app gets tuned off and gets relaunched on a previously paired phone or tablet, the app will automatically sync when launched.
  3. To confirm that the app is synchronized to the amp, tap the Analog 1, Analog 2, Coax, etc labels at the top of the Master Volume screen. If the source shown on the amp front panel display changes with the source selected from the app, the app is synchronized.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Bluetooth can be simultaneously connected to two devices, but only one can play at a given time. If one stops playing, the other can then play. If one device is connected another can be paired without disconnecting the connected device. If two devices are connected a new device cannot be paired without disconnecting one of the connected devices.

EA101EQ-G APP

The EA101EQ-G App is a two-way setup app that connects to the amp via Bluetooth Low Energy. App setup features include: source select, master volume, offset (individual source) volume, source naming, bass/treble, sub volume, balance, Auto Blend, IR Remote learning and screen brightness. The app will open to the Master Volume screen when launched.

MASTER VOLUME

The Master Volume slider sets the amplifier output volume. It affects the output to the speakers and sub (if used) and headphones if connected.

When adjusting master volume, the volume level will appear in a bubble on the app screen and on the front panel display. If the volume is adjusted with the IR remote or front panel volume control, the app master volume will adjust automatically in real time.

OFFSET VOLUME

The Offset Volume slider sets the output of each connected source relative to the other sources. This allows adjusting the source levels so when switching from one source to another, one won't be very loud and another very soft. When adjusting Offset level be sure to use program material that is equal in intensity, volume and dynamics so the settings are made to the relative output of the sources and not the program material itself. Setting the Offset on one source to soft solo harp music and another to pounding electronic dance music will not result in proper settings. The app provides two digital meters to

ELAC Element EA101EQG - OFFSET VOLUME - 1
Figure 6 EA101EQ-G App - Master Volume

indicate the relative input and output level of each source. Green is good. Amber is OK, but not too much, and Red is bad. The ideal settings have the Output levels set so that no source is in the red and maybe just flickering the amber cell. Also try to set the individual outputs so that no source can get so loud that it can damage the amp, speakers or your ears, even if the amp gets turned all the way up! The Offset levels can only be adjusted using the app...so keep the app away from the kids and friends!

  1. Before setting the Offsets, turn the Master Volume down a bit just in case a particular source comes on louder than expected.
  2. With all connected sources playing consistent program material, tap through all inputs at the top of the app screen to get a feel for which input are louder and softer.
  3. Adjust the Offset for each source until the output from the speakers, or headphones is consistent across all sources. The settings will be automatically stored in the amp.

REMOTE LEARNING

The Remote Learning section allows the EA101EQ-G to learn IR commands from other remote controls. This can simplify user control by teaching the amp commands from another remote such as a TV remote so that remote can be used to control the TV, EA101EQ-G and other devices if capable.

When learning commands, be sure to use commands that will make sense when controlling the amp. Use volume up/down commands for volume. Use source select commands for source select functions. Use transport functions for play/pause/previous/ next.

NOTE: The Play/Pause button is also a mute button except when used in Bluetooth mode where it is a pause/play command for a synchronized Bluetooth device. So...a mute command will mute/unmute the speakers for all sources except Bluetooth where it will pause/play the synchronized device.

  1. In the source/Master Volume screen, tap the Setup Gear in the upper right corner. From the Setup Menu, tap Remote Learning. The Remote Learning - Select screen will appear.
  2. In the 'Select' screen tap a button to be replaced with a new IR command. Follow the cues on the amp front panel display. 'Scanning' will appear on the display.
  3. Press the button on the remote to be learned until the amp display indicates: 'Captured'. The Display will indicate 'OK' if the code was learned.
  4. When 'Again' appears on the front panel display, press the SAME BUTTON on the remote to be learned until the amp again indicates: 'Captured'.
  5. The amp will return to it's previous operating mode.
  6. Press the button on the learned remote to test the command to be sure the command has been learned and is affecting the proper function.
