EM PHASER EM-MBF3 Upgrade System for Mercedes
Congratulations!
And thank you for purchasing this high-quality component system dedicated to
Mercedes Benz Sprinter W907 with E1E, E1M or E1S head unit.
If you plan on installing the system by yourself, please read the following
instructions care-fully 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 component system have been carefully selected and precisely matched. The Aluminum membrane of the woofers and the center speaker 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 19 mm Silk dome tweeter convinces with its brilliant 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, to achieve 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 depth of soundstage. EMPHASER wishes you a lot of fun with this outstanding speaker system.

ASSEMBLY
This set is compatible with the Mercedes Benz Sprinter model W907 with E1E,
E1M or E1S head unit. For step-by-step instructions on how to correctly
disassemble the original loud-speakers of your vehicle, please contact the
respective service workshop. The following instructions serve as an example.
Pro tip: We highly recommend to insulate the door panel with a
combination of our EMPHASER insulation material ESP-DM1, EM-DM3 and ESP-DM4.
Ask your EMPHASER dealer for more information about damping. Remove the screws
at the points shown in the picture below.
MIDWOOFER
Use a wide plastic wedge to loosen the door panel carefully. We recommend you
start from the bottom and work your way upwards piece by piece. Please note
that the door panel is hold by two hooks at the bottom. These hooks are a
great help for the installation and don’t need to be removed. Now just lean
back the door panel, loosen the connection cable and the four screws that fix
the original speaker and install the new EMPHASER loudspeaker. Fix it with the
original screws and connect the original connection cable.
TWEETER
Disassemble the tweeter trims which are located left and right in front of the
windshield. Use with a plastic wedge to pry the tweeters out of the lock.
Detach the connection cable from the original tweeter. Connect the EMPHASER
tweeter to the original cable and fix it in the mounting hole. Pay attention
to the handle on the edge of the tweeter housing, which speci-fies the exact
position in order to attach the tweeter correctly. Assemble the tweeter cover.
CENTER
Disassemble the center trim in the middle of the windshield by using a plastic
wedge. Pry out the original center speaker and remove the two connectors. One
of the connectors is for the E-Call system, the other one for the audio
system. Connect the provided center speaker crossover to the connector for the
audio system – the second one directly to the second terminal. Install the
center speaker in the dashboard and attach the cover. The installation of the
EMPHASER sound system is complete.
WARRANTY CONDITIONS + LIMITATIONS
What products are covered by EMPHASER’s limited Warranty?
The limited Warranty (the “Warranty”) applies to EMPHASER products purchased
from an authorized dealer by end customers in the European Economic Area or
Switzerland (“Territorial Scope”).
What is the validity period of EMPHASER’s Warranty?
Under this Warranty, EMPHASER warrants, for a period of 2 years, that the
product is free from defects in material and/or workmanship at the time of the
original purchase. This 2-year period commences on the date of the original
purchase as per the original invoice or until receipt. If you have purchased
the product as a consumer, and the defect is identified within the first six
months after the original purchase (see above), we will assume that the defect
already existed at the time of purchase.
Who can claim under the Warranty?
EMPHASER grants the limited Warranty to natural persons only, who purchased
the relevant product primarily for personal use.
What is covered by the Warranty?
EMPHASER warrants that the product is free from defects in material and/or
workmanship at the time of the original purchase. EMPHASER does not, however,
provide a warranty covering every defect and damage that may occur. It only
covers the hardware components of the device, and in no event the software
used with the device, regardless if this was provided by EMPHASER or the
third-party vendor. The Warranty therefore does not cover the following cases,
in particular:
- normal wear and tear (such as to surfaces and protective coverings);
- superficial damage, such as scratches, dents, and damaged plastic, worn or mechanically defective connections;
- misuse, including any treatment resulting in physical or superficial damage, such as a cosmetic defect, to the product;
- damage caused by connecting or using the product for a purpose other than those specified, or a failure to observe the operating and/or installation instructions for the particular model;
- installation or use of the product contrary to the applicable technical standards, or the safety regulations in the country in which the product is installed or used;
- damage caused through an unauthorized attempted repair, or an attempted repair by someone other than a EMPHASER authorized service partner;
- damage caused by modifications to the product not expressly authorized by the manufacturer;
- damage caused by malicious code (“Software Viruses”) or by using software not supplied with the product or which was incorrectly installed;
- use of third party vendor software programs for editing, modifying, adapting, or extending EMPHASER’s authorized software components as are run on the product;
- use of third-party vendor firmware/operating system software
- damage caused by liquids or chemicals of whatever type, and/or excessive temperatures, moisture, or damp;
- accidents, drops or other such effects of extreme accelerating forces;
- damage caused by lightning strikes, electrostatic charge, incorrect operating voltage, water, fire, force majeure, inadequate ventilation for other reasons for which EMPHASER is not responsible;
- damage caused by using the device outside of the defined specifications;
- damage caused by using the product with other systems or devices, which are not designed to be used with this product;
- adjustments or modifications without EMPHASER‘s prior written approval, including product upgrades extending beyond the specifications or characteristics described in the operating manual;
- modifications of the product for the purpose of adapting it to national or local technical norms or safety standards of countries for which the product was not expressly designed or manufactured;
- using service or spare parts not produced or distributed by EMPHASER;
- using the product in connection with accessories not approved for use with this product;
EMPHASER, moreover, does not warrant (expressly, implicitly, statutorily, or
otherwise) the quality, performance, reliability or suitability of the product
for a particular purpose except as described, nor the software/firmware
installed on the device ex works.
No warranty service will be provided, moreover, if the model number
/serial number/UUID/product number on the product is changed, erased, made
illegible or removed. The same applies if the receipt or invoice is incomplete
and/or illegible when presented.
Is EMPHASER liable for other defects or damage?
EMPHASER will repair or replace products, only if they are covered by the
terms of this Warranty. EMPHASER is not liable for any material or intangible
loss or damage such as the price paid for the product, loss of profits,
revenue, data, or relating to the enjoyment of the product or components
associated with it, arising directly or indirectly under this Warranty or
otherwise in relation to products or services. This likewise applies to loss
or damage relating to the impairment or operational failure of the product, or
devices associated with it, caused by defects or the non-availability of the
product during the time it is with EMPHASER or EMPHASER’s service partner, as
well as to periods of downtime and business interruptions. In addition,
EMPHASER does not accept any liability for shipment-related risks – such as
the loss or destruction of the product – in connection with the fulfilment of
the Warranty.
This disclaimer applies to losses of damage irrespective of the legal basis,
especially on the grounds of negligence, other wrongful conduct (torts),
breach of contract, express or implied guarantees, and strict liability (even
if EMPHASER or its service partner has been advised of the possibility of such
damage occurring).
If these disclaimers are prohibited or limited under the applicable law,
EMPHASER will limit its Warranty and liability to the extent permissible under
the applicable regulations. For example, some national laws prohibit the
exclusion or limiting of damages payable in connection with negligence, gross
negligence, willful wrongdoing, deceitful conduct, and other such acts. For
the duration of this Warranty, all liability that cannot be excluded
completely will be limited to the extent permissible under the applicable law.
Liability under this Warranty is limited to the price paid for the product. If
the applicable law only permits higher limits on any liability, this higher
limitation will apply.
How do I exercise my Warranty rights?
If you want to exercise your entitlements under this Warranty, please contact
the authorized dealer where the product was purchased, and present it with the
original copy of the till receipt or invoice. Do not return any products to
EMPHASER directly, otherwise our Warranty obligations cannot be fulfilled. You
will find the name of the relevant dealer or reseller on your proof of
purchase.
Defective devices sent by the authorized dealer to the service center, must
also be accompanied by any accessories with a logical connection to the
observed fault. This means, for example, the navigation package on an SD or
microSD card supplied or purchased with the device, if problems or functional
errors were observed in connection with the navigation function.
How will EMPHASER fulfil its Warranty?
EMPHASER or its service partner will choose to either repair or replace the
product or its defective parts covered by the Warranty, and assume the costs
of material and labor in doing so.
Repairs under the Warranty must be carried out by EMPHASER or its authorized
service partner. Products that are repaired or replaced may contain new and/or
refurbished components and devices. Components that are swapped out will
become the property of EMPHASER.
Will I incur any costs in connection with the Warranty service?
EMPHASER assumes the costs of material and labor in connection with its
Warranty service. The Warranty holder is responsible for the costs of shipment
and bears the risks connected with the shipment (see above). If the product is
found to be operating faultlessly, or there is no warranty entitlement because
the warrant period has expired or for any other reason, EMPHASER or its
authorized service partner will be entitled to charge a flat-rate
investigation fee of €30.00.
Do this Warranty affect my statutory or contractual rights?
This Warranty is made voluntarily by EMPHASER, and it will, in any case,
extend your statutory rights. As a consumer, you remain fully entitled to your
statutory rights, such as the statutory guarantee. This Warranty also has no
effect whatsoever on your contractual rights against the reseller. You may
continue to exercise these rights in full.
