EMP Tek E10s (100Watt) - Manual (Page 3)

Care and Cleaning
To maintain speaker appearance, we recommend an occasional application of a
general purpose no-wax surface and furniture cleaner. This may also be used to
gently clean the aluminum cone surface. To clean dust from the grille cloth, use a
vacuum with a brush attachment.
Features
A powered subwoofer is a must-have component for any home theater or audio
system. The performance of your subwoofer can greatly affect the overall
performance of your system. Without a powered subwoofer, the deep bass on your
music CDs and special effects on DVDs may not be heard and/or felt. Think of
a subwoofer as a vital component that adds excitement to your theater or music
experience. The powered subwoofer has its own source of amplification (as opposed
to passive, non-amplified subwoofers which require an additional power amplifier).
Subwoofers can add considerable low-frequency, deep bass performance to any
home theater or audio system.
At the heart of the EMP Tek E10s powered subwoofer is an aluminum cone driver.
The driver material produces enhanced bass definition and accuracy. A powerful
magnet, enhanced suspension and heavy duty voice coil give the driver elevated
performance allowing high output capability and accurate dynamic reproduction.
The E10s powered subwoofer incorporates a discrete class A/B analog power supply
amplifier ensuring low distortion, high current output and proven reliability. Variable
crossover, adjustable phase control and auto on/off are also used for convenience and
easy integration with other speakers. Audio can be supplied to the subwoofer by
either interconnect (processor/line level) or speaker wire (high level).
Cabinets are constructed from medium density fiberboard because of its inert
properties. The thickness of the front baffles also prevents excess acoustic radiation.
Large binding posts ensure a good electrical contact. Sophisticated computer
modeling and measurement techniques are used extensively in the EMP Tek
subwoofer design process.
Setup Suggestions
Placement of the subwoofer will largely determine quality, quantity and extension of
the bass frequencies within your listening room. Bass frequencies are reinforced by
close room boundaries. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will make the subwoofer
sound louder and boost the very lowest frequencies.
