Energy is a division of Audio Pr

oducts Inter

national Corp., known

thr
oughout the industry as “API”. A Canadian company founded in 1975,

The API factory is a moder

n 165,000 squar

e foot r

esear

ch, development

and manufacturing facility located in T

o

ronto, Canada. API is one of the

largest speaker manufactur

ers in the world, distributing pr

oducts to over 60

countries worldwide. A talented r

esear

ch and development team utilizes

advanced computer

-based design and sophisticated measur

ement

techniques in its ongoing quest for new and better acoustic technologies.

This r

esear

ch is based upon the years of pioneering psycho-acoustic

resear

ch developed in conjunction with the Canadian “National Resear

ch

Council” (NRC), to cr

eate speakers that achieve high performance in typical

home listening envir

onments. Extensive r

esear

ch into every aspect of the

speaker is analyzed and evaluated befor

e the design stage begins, a

concept that we r

efer to as a holistic design appr

oach. This method

guarantees that the finest components and materials ar

e made and tested

with sophisticated manufacturing and quality contr

ol techniques to ensur

e

exceptional performance that is superior to speakers costing several times

their price.

All Energy speakers ar

e designed to be extr

emely ef

ficient. The T

empest II is

designed to be 8 ohm compatible allowing playback on almost any

amplifier or r

eceiver on the market.  Most amplifiers with a power rating of

20-100 watts per channel will ef

fectively operate the Energy T

empest II

speakers. 

Gr
eat car

e and craftsmanship have gone into the construction and finish of

the cabinet.  Periodically use a soft, dry cloth to r

emove dust or fingerprints.

Do not use paper towel or other abrasive materials as it may damage the

finish. 

On the r

ear of your Energy T

empest II speakers ar

e r
ed and black

connectors. Using standar

d speaker wir

e, connect the speakers one at a

time, and start your pr

ocess at the Receiver

. Connect the speaker wir

e fr

om

the positive (RED +) terminal on the r

eceiver to the positive (RED+) terminal

on the speaker

. Connect the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the r

eceiver to

the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the speaker

. T
o

 connect the wir

e to the

speaker

, completely push the appr

opriate terminal in, and insert the wir

e

thr
ough the hole that appears on the stem of the gold plated terminal.

Release the terminal and the inter

nal springs will hold the wir

Repeat for the other terminal.

Do this one speaker at a time until your speakers ar

e connected pr

operly

. Be

car
eful to corr

ectly match positive and negative, as well as the corr

ect

speaker to the corr

ect channel. 

To

 mount the speaker find a secur

e mounting location that is not in dir

ect

exposur

e to the elements, such as rain, high winds, or sunlight. The

speakers ar

e weather r

esistant but ar

e not designed to be dir

ectly exposed

to rain or submerged under water

. The speaker bracket needs to be

mounted to a secur

e location, it is advisable to mount the bracket to a solid

wall surface, wall stud, or brick. Mounting to aluminum siding, or

eavestr

oughs for example will not pr

ovide adequate str

ength to safely hold

the speaker

. Use the appr

opriate har

dwar

e necessary to secur

ely hold the

speakers weight of r

oughly 9 pounds. The bracket attaches to the speaker

using the two large thr

eaded knobs. Befor

e adjusting the angle of the

speaker

, make sur

e you loosen the knobs thr

ee or four tur

ns until the teeth

ar

e separated. Point the speaker towar

ds the seating ar

both knobs hand tight only
