LOW-VOLTAGE (DC) POWER CONNECTION
Your EM-ESL speakers use external low-voltage
power supplies to energize their electrostatic panels.
For this reason the proper low-voltage power sup-
plies are provided. A power supply should be firmly
inserted into the ‘DC Power In’ receptacle on the
rear connection panel of each speaker, then to any
convenient AC wall outlet. Your EM-ESL speakers
integrate a signal sensing circuit which will switch
the EM-ESL off after a few minutes of no music sig-
nal, and requires less than two seconds to recharge
the panels when a music signal is present.
Your EM-ESL speakers are provided with a power
supply for the power service supplied in the coun-
try of original consumer sale. The AC power
requirements applicable to a particular unit is
specified both on the packing carton and on the
DC power supply.
If you remove your EM-ESL speakers from the coun-
try of original sale, be certain that the AC power
supplied in any subsequent location is suitable
before connecting the low-voltage power supply.
Substantially impaired performance or severe dam-
age may occur to a EM-ESL speaker if operation
is attempted from an incorrect AC power source.
WARNING! The DC power
supply should not be installed,
removed, or left detached from
the speaker while connected to an
AC power source.
SPEAKER LEVEL CONNECTION
Use the best speaker cables you can. The length
and type of speaker cable used in your system will
have an audible effect. Under no circumstance
should a wire of gauge higher (thinner) than #16
be used. In general, the longer the length used,
the greater the necessity of a lower gauge, and
the lower the gauge, the better the sound, with
diminishing returns setting in around #8 to #12.
A variety of cables are available whose
manufacturers claim better performance than
standard heavy gauge wire. We have verified this
in many cases, and the improvements available
are often more noticeable than the differences
between wires of different gauge. The effects of
cables may be masked if equipment is not of the
highest quality.
WARNING! Turn your amplifier
off before making or breaking
any signal connections!
Connections are done at the signal input section
on the rear electronics panel of the EM-ESL. These
speakers are designed with easy-to-use push-style
