Troubleshooting guide
Sound from only one speaker
Please ensure all speaker cable connections are correct. The speakers should be connected with stereo
cable. Please try an alternate sound source such as a CD player, MP3 or other player. If both speakers now
work correctly, the original sound source is at fault. Please ensure the computer Soundcard is installed
correctly.
When listening to a CD played by the computer, I hear the sound from only one speaker
This often happens with new computers when listening to a CD played by the computer, you hear the sound
from only one speaker, but both speakers work if you listen to a WAV file or when you play a videogame.
This happens because the CD-ROM drive is not connected correctly to the soundcard, or one of the cable is
under short circuit.
Please refer to the CD-ROM drive user manual to fix this jumper issue.
No sound from any of the speakers
1. Please ensure AC adapter is plugged in and power outlet is switched on.
2. Please ensure all audio cable connections are correct.
3. Please ensure sound source equipment is working correctly.
Speakers exhibit excessive noise
Empire speakers are of a very low noise circuit design. Some source equipment may have a poor signal to
noise ratio. Therefore, please unplug the input audio cable, and check if the noise is from the CD/DVD player
or the Computer Soundcard etc.
Magnetically Shielded Speakers
Empire system subwoofers and satellite speakers are all of a magnetically shielded design. You can place
the speakers near a TV or monitor.
To optimize the sound quality from your system:
Sit in a comfortable position at the computer desktop. Take time to test the listening environment by using
music CDs with wide frequency content and spacious left-to-right imaging.
The speaker driver used in the loudspeakers will change their characteristics subtly over the first two weeks
of use as the suspension of the cones will loosen up slightly, producing a trace more warmth to the overall
sound texture.
Adjust the speaker placement (about 15-20 cm away from the walls) for the most realistic imaging and tonal
balance by listening to several different musical selections and game or computer sound effects.
