Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of an EMP Tek E10s powered subwoofer! Your subwoofer is the result of many years of research and development dedicated to producing powerful, accurate bass in home audio systems. This manual contains operating procedures and specifications. We recommend you thoroughly read through the material contained in this manual before connecting your subwoofer.
Powered Subwoofer Break In Period Allow several hours of listening time to adequately break-in the subwoofer. As the subwoofer breaks-in, the driver suspensions will loosen. The result of break-in will be an increase in low frequency response, improved definition, and increased clarity and detail.

Features (continued) 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 (LFE/line level inputs). Cabinets are constructed from medium density fiberboard because of its inert properties.

Room Setup Suggestions (continued) Placement of the subwoofer will largely determine quality, quantity and extension of the bass frequencies within your listening room.
