Congratulations!
And thank you for purchasing this high quality component system from our MONOLITH-
series. If you plan on installing the system by yourself, please read the following instructions
carefully before you attempt the installation. For any further information about this product,
please contact your authorized EMPHASER dealer.
ABOUT THIS LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM
All components of this MONOLITH system have been carefully selected and precisely matched.
The Aluminum membrane of the woofers is due to its hardness and the high natural resonance
frequency ideally suited for a detailed and extremely low-distortion reproduction quality in the
intended area of application. The 25 mm silk dome tweeter convinces with its warm sound
and the ability to produce even the finest musical details. At the heart of the systems are the
elaborately designed crossovers: the parts have been defined in intensive test series in the
laboratory as well as in the vehicle, with the aim of achieving the best possible phasing of
the tweeters and woofers in the crossover frequency band. The result is immersive musical
enjoyment with vivid natural voices and instruments and their positioning on the imaginary
soundstage as well as an impressive spatial depth. EMPHASER wishes you a lot of fun with
this outstanding speaker system.
Key Feature Woofer
■ Aluminum Diecast-basket with optimized temperature management
■ Strontium-Ferrite magnet motor
■ Aluminum cone with inverted Aluminum dust cap
■ ECP-M4 and ECP-M5 with Butyl-rubber surround
■ ECP-M6 with M-shape Butyl-rubber surround for low distortion at high cone excursion
■ Two layer copper voice-coil, wound on temperature resistant and electrically neutral
Polyimide voice-coil former
■ Long-living Connex-spider with woven tinsel leads
■ Gold-plated screw terminal
Key Features Tweeter
■ 25 mm silk dome
■ Neodymium magnet motor
■ CNC-milled Aluminum-housing with low mounting depth
■ Grill with large hexagon holes for high sound permeability and low reflection
■ Mounting housing for the installation in two angles
Key Features Crossovers
■ Separated crossover housings for tweeter and woofer for convenient installation.
Secondly, there is no mutual interference between the two signal paths due to
components that are too close together
■ Use of high quality air coils, MKP capacitors and MOX resistors in the direct signal path
■ ECP-M6 and ECP-M5 with 12 / 12 dB filter slope
■ ECP-M4 with 12 / 6 dB filter slope
■ Three-level tweeter volume attenuation

■ 2x Tweeter crossover
■ 2x Mounting housing
■ 2x Speaker grilles
■ 1x Manual
MOUNTING
The first step of a successful installation is to choose the best mounting locations for the
tweeters and mid/woofers. Usually, cars come with factory speaker openings for mid/woof-
ers. If you cannot mount the mid/woofers to an existing factory cutout, the alternative is to
buy a set of car specific speaker mounting adapters, to provide a stable platform for the mid/
woofer mounting. In such a case, we recommend you consult your authorized EMPHASER
dealer to ask for his assistance.
Tweeter Mounting
The tweeter positioning does exhibit a direct and profound influence on the front staging of
your component system. Depending on the chosen location, where the tweeters are installed,
different loudness levels in the treble region will result. The installation location of the tweeters
also has an influence on the spatial representation of the system. Due to the different distances
of the sound, there can be differences in the sum of the individual sound components of the
tweeter and bass-midrange around the crossover frequency. Therefore, care should be taken
to ensure that the distances between the ear and the woofer / tweeter are approximately the
same. The tweeter level can be adjusted by a 3-way switch inside the x-over, to compensate
for different mounting locations.
■ To determine the best tweeter location, it may be necessary to carry out short listening
tests with the tweeter mounted to different locations inside the vehicle. For this, double
sided tape can be used.
■ Set all tone controls, i.e. pre-EQ, treble / bass and loudness functions of your head unit
to the neutral position first, before you attempt listening to the speakers installed in your
car.
The influence of the tweeter mounting location on the front staging is profound – and care must
be taken to achieve a good compromise between unobtrusive mounting and good sound quality.
