MSE-218SP User Manual 

v1.1 February 2013 

 

To use the M20 threaded flange adapters, use a telescopic distance pole such as the EM 
Acoustics  DP-01.    Screw  the  threaded  end  into  the  flange  adapter,  making  sure  it  is 
screwed in completely.  Then, carefully lift the fullrange loudspeaker onto the pole. 

6.0 - Servicing Information 

Your EM Acoustics loudspeakers have been rigorously tested before they leave our factory, 
to  ensure  that  they  give  you  a  lifetime  of  flawless  operation.    Should  any  of  your  drive 

units fail and need replacing, please follow the guidelines below. 

MSE-218:  Low Frequency Drive Unit 

1.

 

Using a PZ2 Pozidrive screwdriver, undo the screws securing the front grille in place.  
Gently remove the grille from the front of the enclosure. 

2.

 

Using a 5mm Allen key, remove the eight M6 socket-head bolts holding the required 
drive unit in place.  Gently lift the drive unit out of its locating hole – please take care 
as it is heavy!  Carefully disconnect the cables from the drive unit. 

3.

 

To  reinstate  the  driver,  simply  reverse  the  above  procedure.    Please  observe  the 
correct polarity – red cable to positive terminal, black cable to negative. 

4.

 

Reinstate  the  grille  by  gently  placing  it  in  place  over  the  front  of  the  loudspeaker.  
Replace the PZ2 screws to secure the grille in place.
