A time to look back.

A time to look forward.

Morel’s story was born 45 years ago. For our founder - my


father Meir - and me, these past four and a half decades
have been a life-altering journey. Till this day, I take
pride that we uphold the very values we began with: an
emphasis on handcrafted production and unleashing the
raw emotions that music reveals. Because even in our
humble beginnings, creating “ordinary” audio equipment
just wasn’t in our DNA. Some people call this innovation,
but for us it’s just the way we’ve always worked, continually
pushing the boundaries of audio.

Enjoy the ride. Unleash the music.

Yours truly,
Oren Mordechai
CEO
Erasing the boundaries

Erasing the boundaries between artist and listener is at the core of our ethos.
With a highly detailed approach to handmade craftsmanship and innovation,
we deliver a sound that seamlessly fuses form with function. For the last four
and a half decades, we have been driven by the desire to recreate the raw
emotions of live music experiences. Our latest line of products will immerse
you in a moment where the musicians are playing just for you. The power
of sound is so immense, it can make your heartbeat quicken, embolden
you to give in to your emotions and connect to your love for music. When
Morel unleashes the music, you are always in the front row.

The Art of Sound


For our 45th anniversary, Morel collaborated with Miriam Cabessa,
a renowned Israeli and NY-based contemporary artist, to bring to life
the movement of sound. While the physicality of sound remains unseen,
Cabessa sought to viscerally present it: with Morel speakers submerged
in gold liquid, sound waves reverberated throughout the liquid, creating
ripples reflective of the frequency of sound. Cabessa’s works are known
for interpreting movement through dynamic flow and rhythm. Her work,
displayed throughout our catalogue, sheds a unique light onto the
experience of Morel. It is an almost spiritual experience, just like the
one we seek with every product that we build.

RESOLUTION
Engineered to reproduce music
to the most exacting standards
SUPREMO
Crafting speakers to perform with lifelike detail takes creativity, dedication, and an expanse
of technical knowledge. Morel has been perfecting this craft for 48 years, culminating in the
flagship Supremo systems which take high resolution audio to levels not yet experienced in
the automotive world.

Morel’s recipe for success is based on a no-compromise design using the pinnacle of Morel
technology. The woofers blend powerful neodymium magnets with our EVC (External Voice
Coil) motor topology, an underhung 3" (76mm) diameter Hexatech™ aluminum voice coil, and
a proprietary carbon fiber and Rohacell sandwich cone. These combine to create lightning
quick transient response and dynamic sound reproduction. High-frequency details resonate
from the exquisite Supremo Piccolo tweeter, which is lauded around the globe for its unrivaled
open and detailed responsiveness.

Maintaining the Resolution namesake, the Supremo effortlessly produces the finest details,
precisely as the music was intended to be heard. Crisp, clear musicality; deep, powerful tonality;
and subtleties which reveal themselves delightfully to listener’s ears. Even the most discerning
audiophiles will find themselves seduced by the Supremo.

With the Supremo system, you’re not just listening to top-tier car audio technology - you’re
tapping into a 48 year legacy. Enjoy the ride.

ULTIMO
TITANIUM Powerful. Dynamic. Musical. Three simple words which perfectly describe the Ultimo Titanium.
The Ultimo Titanium was engineered to reproduce bass so musically accurate that it would
have no equal.

Ultimo Titanium subwoofers are equipped with Morel’s most advanced technology derived
from its Hi-Fi bass drivers. At their core lies the EVC motor design with an extremely large 5.1”
(130mm) Hexatech™ aluminum voice coil attached to a titanium voice coil former – the first
of its kind in car audio. The massive magnet creates unparalleled efficiency - nearly 90% as
opposed to 60% on comparable systems - while the giant voice coil moves the speaker cone
with unmatched precision. Exceptionally stiff and lightweight, the titanium improves driver
dynamics for even quicker transient response. An additional copper magnet cap stabilizes the
magnetic field while increasing the linear response and reducing distortion.

The subwoofer is topped off with a beautiful two-layer woven carbon fiber and paper composite
cone. Extremely stiff and highly damped, it moves air with precision and authority, without
experiencing breakup or distortion.

The culmination of Morel’s technological advancements resulted in the Ultimo Titanium. It’s
simply the most dynamic car audio subwoofer Morel has engineered, providing the highest
resolution in bass reproduction. It’s powerful. It’s dynamic. And it’s a musical delight.

ELATE
CARBON
PRO
The Elate Carbon Pro is the purest evolution of our iconic Elate line, continuing to push the
boundaries of automotive audio performance. With refined aesthetics, revamped construction,
and Morel’s storied handcrafted essence, we’re taking the Elate series higher than it’s ever
been before.

The new speaker systems maintain the Elate’s high power, high fidelity tradition, yet with
massive upgrades in design and materials. We’ve equipped it with a triple-layered carbon-
fiber/Rohacell cone for midrange and woofers, titanium voice coils, our iconic Lotus grills and
a brushed aluminum trim. The Elate Carbon Pro is highlighted by the Elate Alto cavity-back
tweeter, employing a high-resolution design borrowed from the Supremo Piccolo’s architecture.

These upgrades give the new systems a leap forward in performance. Alongside a widened,
three-dimensional soundstage with greater frequency response, the Elate Carbon Pro’s ability
to produce exquisite details, at any volume level, is simply breathtaking. At Morel, we always
focus on presenting sound as the artist intended. With a neutral balance and immersive depth,
the Elate Carbon Pro brings listeners closer to the artist.

From the outset, we developed the Elate Carbon Pro to be more than just a new set of speakers
— they were designed to provide Morel customers an immersive musical experience that will
leave you breathless. No other speaker system fully represents high power, high fidelity like the
new Elate Carbon Pro. Once you’ve experienced them, we’re confident you’ll agree.

ELATE
CARBON The Elate Carbon continues the legacy of the iconic high power, high fidelity Elate line by
bringing ultimate performance to install-friendly systems. While the Elate Carbon shares most
of its high-end componentry with the Elate Carbon Pro, it takes on a slightly smaller form factor
for those who value discreteness but don’t want to sacrifice performance.

Unique to the Elate Carbon are the compact MT450 tweeters which can easily fit into most
OEM factory locations or space-limited areas using the supplied mounts. Built with an Acuflex™
coated silk dome, open cavity design, and dual neodymium magnet motor, the MT450’s produce
amazing detail and a silky-smooth, flat frequency response.

The new Elate Carbon woofers continue to bring serious power. Whether choosing a 5.25”, 6.5” or
9” woofer, each features FEA and Klipple-optimized EVC motors with large 3” (75mm) diameter
voice coils and Morel’s proprietary TLC (Triple Layer Composite) carbon fiber/Rohacell sandwich
cones, yielding ultra-low distortion and high power handling.

The Elate Carbon 3-way systems feature the all new MM3 3.5" (89mm) cone midrange. Using top-
of-the-line Morel technology such as an EVC motor, high power 2.1” (53mm) diameter voice coil,
and a highly damped TLC carbon-fiber/Rohacell cone. The result is even greater control in lower
frequencies than larger 4.5” speakers, while still able to fit into most OEM midrange locations.

Handcrafted as always, and with a vast feature set, spectacular sound performance and
compact design, the new Elate Carbon will blow your expectations away.

and worked in New York City since 2000. Her slow action painting has
been internationally recognized since 1997 when she represented Israel
at the Venice Biennale. Over the past two decades, she has abstained
from using brushes, opting to make marks with objects and her body.
Her imagery ranges from organic to mechanistic with surfaces that
are both haptically handmade and digitally serene. Miriam has shown
extensively in the U.S., Europe, and Israel.
