2.1  Product description
The E4 and E5 cabinets are light-weight 2-way passive

loudspeakers using coaxially mounted, wide dispersion dome

tweeters. The coaxial design offers a symmetrical dispersion

pattern in the horizontal and vertical plane while the cabinets may

be mounted in either attitude.
The E4 employs a 4” neodymium LF driver in an ultra-compact,

sealed enclosure. Its frequency response extends from 130 Hz to

20 kHz.
The E5 employs a 5” ferrite LF driver in a bass-reflex enclosure

covering the range from 85 Hz to 20 kHz.
Both systems can be used stand-alone or supplemented by

different E-Series subwoofers.

The enclosures are injection molded with an impact resistant black

paint finish. The fronts of the loudspeaker cabinets are protected

by a rigid metal grill.

CAUTION!
No load suspension device

Under no circumstances should the safety hook 

[S] be used to

support other loads.

The E4 and E5 rear panels incorporate a M10 threaded insert to

accept the Z5356 E4/E5 Ball joint adapter.
In addition, a safety hook 

[S] is integrated in the rear panel to

allow the attachment of a secondary safety wire.

2.2  Connections
The cabinets are fitted with a pair of NL4 connectors and a two
pole push terminal block (PT - cross-section up to 6 mm

2

/

AWG 10). All four pins of both NL4 connectors are wired in

parallel. The cabinets use the pin assignments 1+/1–. Pins 2+/2–

are designated to active subwoofers.
Pin equivalents of the applicable connector options are listed in the

table below.
