Owner’s Manual
Features
The E41-B bookshelf speaker is the perfect speaker for delivering wide-range perfor-
mance with outstanding detail and accuracy. This speaker features beryllium cone
woofers and midrange drivers. The beryllium cone material combines stiffness, low
mass and self damping properties in a manner that allows virtually uncolored presenta-
tion of program material. A powerful magnet, extended voice coil and bumped back
plate give the bass/midrange drivers high excursion capability. This ensures accurate
dynamic reproduction. The 4-inch beryllium cone woofer provides excellent bass
and mid-range resolution, while the 1-inch silk dome tweeter effortlessly reproduces
crystal clear high frequencies. This tweeter uses liquid cooling to allow greater power
handling. To protect the tweeter against being over driven, a polyswitch (a current
limiting device) is incorporated in the crossover network.
An extensive crossover network is featured with each E41-B bookshelf speaker. Steep
acoustic slope crossovers are used to integrate drivers. The 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. Large 5-way
binding posts ensure a good, solid electrical connection to these crossover networks.
The E41-B bookshelf speakers’ cabinets are constructed of ½-inch medium density
fiberboard because of its inert properties, thereby minimizing sound coloration. The
front baffles are double layered to 1-inch thickness helping to prevent excess acoustic
radiation from the cabinet.
Attaching Speaker Wires
If using a banana jack, attach the matching positive or negative wire and push directly
into binding post top hole.
If not using a banana jack, simply loosen the binding nut to allow the hole in the side
of the terminal to become exposed. Strip ¼-inch of the insulation from the end of
the speaker wire and insert the exposed wire end into the now exposed hole in the
side of the terminal. Tighten the binding nut by turning the nut clockwise until the
speaker wire is secured. Repeat for the other speaker wire(s) as necessary.
