Break-in Period
Allow several hours of listening time to adequately break-in the speakers. As the speakers
break-in, the driver suspensions 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 grilles, use a vacuum with a brush
attachment.

Features
e EMP E3 Series speakers have been designed with 3-inch aluminized polygraphite
cone woofers to deliver accurate, time-aligned, sonic performance.
A powerful magnet, extended voice coil and bumped back plate give the bass/midrange
divers high excursion capability. is ensures accurate dynamic reproduction. e
center channel drivers are shielded by a steel cup and additional magnet to cancel
any stray magnetic eld that my cause interference with video equipment such as
tube televisions.
A high quality neodymium mag net nano-silk dome tweeter is used for hig h
frequencies. is tweeter is also magnetically shielded, and uses liquid cooling to
allow greater power handling.
Each E3 Series 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.
Cabinets are constructed from medium density berboard (MDF). e cabinets
also have a narrow prole to minimize cabinet diraction. e speakers virtually
disappear leaving only a deep, wide sound stage with pinpoint imaging. e back of
the speaker has been ported with a removable foam port plug to adjust base or keep
in place for at wall mount. e E3b and E3c has metal keyhole mounts for direct
wall mounting as well as female 1/4-inch 20 TPI threads in back and bottom (E3b
