Founded in 1926, ELAC says that the name NAVA100 was inspired by the company’s maritime heritage in Kiel, Germany. Its name is meant to reflect “movement, exploration, and freedom.” Just as a vessel carries you across great bodies of water, “the NAVA100 carries your music wherever life takes you.”
The NAVA100 embodies ELAC’s heritage while answering the way people listen today – portable, powerful, and beautifully designed. It’s more than just a speaker – it’s Music in Motion.
