Congratulations on your purchase of EMP Tek 41-SE/B speakers! Your speakers are the
result of many years of research and development dedicated to producing high quality
products for home audio systems.
is manual contains features, setup recommendations and specications for the
EMP Tek 41-SE/B speakers. We recommend you thoroughly read through the material
contained in this manual before connecting your speakers. is will ensure you have
a good understanding of how to setup your speakers for optimum performance and
allow for years of listening enjoyment.

Allow several hours of listening time to adequately break-in the speakers. As the speakers
break-in, the driver suspension will loosen. e result of break-in will be an increase in
low frequency response, improved denition, and increased clarity and detail.
Care and Cleaning
To maintain speaker appearance, we recommend wiping them down with a clean
and damp, so cloth. To clean dust from the grille cloth, use a vacuum with a brush
attachment.
Features
At the heart of the EMP Tek 41-SE/B speakers are proprietary beryllium cone woofers.
e special beryllium cone material combines stiness, low mass and self damping
properties in a manner that allows virtually uncolored presentation of program
material. A powerful magnet, extended voice coil and bumped back plate give the
bass/midrange drivers high excursion capability. is ensures accurate dynamic
reproduction. For high frequencies, a premium quality silk dome tweeter is used.
is tweeter uses liquid cooling to allow greater power handling.
Each EMP Tek speaker features an extensive crossover network. Steep acoustic slope
crossovers are used to integrate drivers. e use of steep crossover slopes allows for
higher power handling, minimizes driver interaction anomalies, and maximizes the
ability of each driver in their respective band of frequencies. Large 5-way binding posts
ensure a good, solid electrical connection to these crossover networks.
EMP Tek 41-SE/B speaker cabinets are constructed of ¾-inch medium density berboard because of its inert properties, thereby preventing sound coloration
due to cabinet diffraction. The thick ness of the front baffles also prevents
excess acoustic radiation. Sophisticated computer modeling and measurement
techniques are used extensively throughout the EMP Tek speaker design process.

Attaching Speaker Wires
When using a banana jack to attach speaker wires to the binding post terminals, insert
the speaker wire into the banana jack. Next insert the banana jack into the hole provided
in the top of the terminal. Be sure the nut is tight before inserting the banana jack. Repeat
for the other speaker wire(s) as necessary, see diagram on page 4.
If not using a banana jack, simply loosen the binding nut to allow the hole in the side
of the terminal to become exposed. Strip ¼-inch of the insulation from the end of the
speaker wire and insert the exposed wire end into the now exposed hole in the side of the
terminal. Tighten the binding nut by turning the nut clockwise until the speaker wire is
secured. Repeat for the other speaker wire(s) as necessary, see diagram on page 4.
