1. The story of Electrocompaniet
The early days…
At an AES conference in 1973, Dr. Matti
Otala presented a paper describing a distortion that he termed Transient Intermodulation
(TIM). Attending this conference was Svein
Erik Børja, a Norwegian record and broadcasting producer and a great audio enthusiast.
The seminar held by Dr. Otala on TIM
provided Svein Erik with an explanation of
the audible imperfections he had experienced
from audio ampliers. Svein Erik Børja
brought the AES papers to Electrocompaniet,
and asked if we could make an amplier
based on Dr. Otala’s theory.
A few prototype ampliers were made and the
sound, compared to other transistor ampliers,
was encouraging. But Svein Erik Børja, being
the perfectionist he was, felt that this amplier
design approach had a greater potential. At
that time we did not know too much about
high-end audio designs. This gave an element
of neutrality to our research, which we believe
contributed to the amplier’s success. We
consider our audio designers from that time to
have been the rst in what may be called the
new ‘TIM-free’ school.
The next 3 years went to further research and
design improvement. During this time we had
to develop a new ‘language’ to translate what
we were hearing, into practical design parameters (distortion, frequency response etc.) A
new mathematical equation was developed
to better describe the AC (music) characteristics of the transistor, rather than the normal
DC characteristics. The result of this work
culminated in the launch of our rst 2 x 25W
unit, “The 2 Channel Audio Power Amplier.”
The nal approval came in 1976 when the
American ‘bible’, The Audio Critic magazine,
tested the amplier and wrote: “Audio freaks
– eat your hearts out. This is the world’s best
sounding amplier.”
Since these early days, Electrocompaniet’s
designs have been continually improved and
our product programme has steadily grown.
Today we are represented in 36 countries
worldwide and our products are considered to
be among the very best in the audio industry.
The vision that drove us in the early days has
stayed:
If the music really matters....

2. The Design Concept
Thank you for purchasing this ne audio
equipment. First of all we will give you a
small introduction to the ideas behind the
EMP-1
Technically, a CD (or a DVD) is a simple construction, built up with a lot of digital information, represented by only two states - zero
or one. The main work for the rst section of
the EMP-1 is to read this information. The
EMP-1 have a buffer that reads from the CD
with a higher speed than necessary. If there is
some inconsistent information the system has
time to read it again, and correct the missing
data. With this technique errors introduced
by the CD mechanics are removed. As long as
the rst stage of the process has a perfect copy
of the information on the CD there is a basis
for the next stage.
The next stage is to sample rate the information. This process removes possible jitter and
also makes sure that all parts of the DAC get
the correct information, at correct time.
The last step is to convert the digital signal
into an analog signal. This is done in two
stages. First the PCM signal is up sampled
to 192kHz. This signal is then up sampled
again to 312 kHz if selected (Factory setting
is 192kHz). After this the High Qualities DAC
converted the digital information to an analog
signal.
After this process the signal passes trough the
fully balanced, symmetrical, state-of-the-art
internal analog output stage - ready to be connected to your system.

5. Unpacking the EMP-1
Immediately upon receipt of the EMP-1,
inspect the carton for possible damage during
shipment. The carton and packaging have
been designed to provide the safest possible
protection for transport of this player. Unpack
the unit carefully. Save all packaging materials for future shipment.
The contents of the carton
1 pcs Electrocompaniet EMP 1 – Universal
Player
1 pcs AC mains cord.
1 pcs Inspection card.
1 pcs Remote control
2 pcs Batteries
Note !
The EMP 1 are designed to be used together
with the new ECT-2, the advanced RF remote
controller, sold as a separate product.
However, if you do not have this unit we have
included a standard IR controller.
Before startup
Before connecting the EMP 1 to the mains,
check that the main voltage indicated on the
rear panel corresponds to the line voltage in
the territory where you intend to use the unit.
How to avoid damages
Do not under any circumstances connect or
disconnect equipment when power is turned
on.
How to avoid noise problems
The EMP 1 contains delicate circuits that are
made to make a crystal clear, detailed sound.
Make sure all signal cables to the player have
maximal distance to cables to/from television.
If possible the television should be connected
to a separate power outlet, with lter to the
rest of your high end equipment. Television
often have a lot of magnetic stray elds that
can be picked up by cables in your system.
The unit should not be placed near main
transformers, TV sets, etc. Care should also be
taken regarding placement of the interconnect
cables. Do not run interconnect cables in parallel with main cords or speaker cables. Keep
interconnect cables as short as possible.
Important notes
For optimal sonic performance, the EMP 1
should be burned in for a minimum time of 72
hours. The easiest way to burn in your EMP 1
is to put a disc in REPEAT mode with the rest
of your system turned off.
In daily operation, switch off the EMP 1
player by using the STANDBY button on the
remote. If the EMP 1 has been switched off,
allow two hours of warm-up to optimize sonic
performance.
Due to high class A operation in all Electrocompaniet designs, it is normal for the EMP 1
to feel warm. Proper ventilation is important.
The EMP 1 should never be completely covered. A good rule of thumb is to allow at least
3 – 5 cm of air sidewise and 5 – 8 cm above
the EMP 1. It’s not recommended to install
the unit into a cabinet. It’s absolute not possible to install the unit into a closed cabinet.
This will make the system to fault, and also
reduce the lifetime dramatically.
