2nd stage Ellipse Balanced
Many of the exclusive technical characteristics of Ellipse, covered by 4 international patents, have been transferred to this new second stage.
Ellipse Balanced has a slightly larger casing which is made from a sound absorbing material, and a new diaphragm that further improves the already very low inhalation effort of Ellipse.
The weight is very low (the lightest in the category).
The pneumatic balancing system of the piston allows for constant performance at any depth and with any air pressure in the tanks.
An easy grip knob allows for the instant adjustment of the inhalation effort, even when wearing gloves, thus regulating it as first regulator or as spare regulator depending on the preferences of the user and the required use.
The regulation system is protected by a double seal and is fully protected from contact with water, thus maintaining smooth rotation even over time.
A small lever, located in the upper part of the casing, acts as a flow deviator and allows the Venturi effect to be adjusted. When placed in position (-) it functions as pre-dive, for getting into the water and the first stages of the dive, whilst when moved to (+) it allows the regulator to develop its maximum performance.
An internal heat exchanger optimises the performance of the regulator even in cold waters.
The special study of air flows inside the casing has meant that absolutely natural, smooth and very silent breathing has been obtained.
The standard release baffle can be directly replaced by the user for a larger model which pushes the bubbles further way from the diver’s face.
The possibility of quickly removing the entire mechanical part from the casing significantly aids maintenance operations.
