Install and Enjoy: EMPHASER speaker for Mercedes

Many Mercedes drivers face a dilemma: they find the sound of their factory speakers unsatisfactory, but it is also difficult to get good sounding aftermarket speakers that are easy to fit. A total solution is now offered by car audio specialist EMPHASER (http://www.emphaser.com/) with speakers for the 205 and 213 series from Mercedes-Benz – audiophile systems that are perfectly tailored to the target vehicles not only in terms of their construction but also acoustically.
EMPHASER’s new series for Mercedes consists of 6 systems: a 2-way component system for the front doors, a coax for the rear doors, a coax for the headliner or parcel shelf and a center speaker. The line is completed by two front basses, the EM-MBSUBR for fitting in the passenger footwell, and the EM-MBSUBL for the footwell on the driver’s side.

JUST PLUG and PLAY
EMPHASER’s new Mercedes-Benz speakers are true Plug and Play systems. The chassis fit perfectly into the original spaces of the compatible Mercedes models. All connectors are vehicle specific plug”n”play type for direct connection in the target cars. Thus, installation requires a minimum of effort without any modifications to the vehicle. The kit includes everything needed to complete a speaker retrofit: a low-pass filter for the subwoofer and a high-pass filter for the satellite systems. In addition, the component system is equipped with a high quality crossover.

COMPONENT AND COAXIAL SYSTEMS
The core element of the speakers is the great sounding aluminum cone of the mid-range speakers – with the cone geometry being optimally matched to the installation situation in the Mercedes. The high sound conductivity and stability of aluminum forms the basis for faithful and detail-rich music reproduction. The polyimide voice coil and the Connex centering spider ensures a consistent quality and long service life.
The tweeter, a 25 mm (compo) or 19 mm (coaxials) a silk dome, rounds off the acoustic performance of the speaker with its spatiality and brilliance.
All components are perfectly matched to each other, for highest musical enjoyment. The sound is transparent and precise, with extraordinary richness of detail and immense spatial depth. Voices are sensed at dashboard height, and the instruments are clearly placed on this imaginary stage – which makes for a very pleasant music listening experience.

SUBWOOFER
Two front basses expand the range of EMPHASER speakers for Mercedes. The EM-MBSUBR is designed for the passenger footwell and, together with the component system, is wonderfully suited for realizing an efficient sound upgrade without using a separate amplifier. The woofer with 20 cm fiber glass cone makes perfect use of the volume imposed by the vehicle, and is impressive for its spontaneity and high sound fidelity.
The EM-MBSUBR can be supplemented by the EM-MBSUBL front bass designed for installation in the footwell on the driver’s side. However, an additional amplifier will then be necessary due to the common 2-ohm impedance of both subwoofers and the fact that a standard radio will not provide enough current and power to drive these subs.

LG Essen: Unlawful advertising statements promoting e-cigarettes

Liquids for e-cigarettes must not be promoted using the slogan “Genuss ohne Reue” (enjoyment without regrets). That was the verdict of the Landgericht (LG) Essen, the Regional Court of Essen, in a ruling from October 25, 2019 (Az.: 41 O 13/19).

Consumers must not be misled by health claims in advertising. We at the commercial law firm MTR Rechtsanwälte note that this kind of advertising is unlawful and in breach of competition law.

The Landgericht Essen recently ruled that in the context of promoting liquids for e-cigarettes, the statement “Genuss ohne Reue” constitutes a health claim. The statement was said to give consumers the impression that consuming these liquids does not pose any health risk whatsoever and was found to be misleading to consumers as well as unlawful.

In addition, the Court held that the manufacturer must also refrain from advertising its products as “apothekenreine Liquids” (liquids of pharmacy-grade purity), as the law already requires that liquids exhibit a certain degree of purity. As such, the statement was deemed to be self-evident, and, as noted by the LG Essen, advertising featuring self-evident statements is unlawful.

Unlawful statements in advertising and violations of competition law may be met with rigorous sanctions. Experienced lawyers can offer advice.

LSoft Technologies launches Active@ Disk Image 9.5

October 17, 2019 — LSoft Technologies, pioneers of data backup and recovery software, is proud to announce the launch of the latest, all-new edition of its popular disk imaging software, Active@ Disk Image version 9.5. The new version of Active@ Disk Image ships with many new improvements, but the most important of all is the revolutionary Fast Compression method, which greatly reduces the file size of your disk images and the time it takes to create them. Other improvements include the added support for the latest edition of the ReFS file system and support for raw images in Virtual Disk. Users of the Professional edition will also be able to enjoy the full support of SATA & PCI-E NVMe M.2 disks with the most recent version of Active@ Boot Disk 15, upgraded to WinPE based on Windows 10 build 1903.

There are two main use cases for choosing Active@ Disk Image. Perhaps the most obvious is data backup. When you are manually backing up folders and files individually, there is always a chance of missing something important. After all, not necessarily everything is kept in the Documents folder or where it is immediately obvious. Even if your important files are backed up safely, it can take ages to recover damaged systems if you have to reinstall your operating system and all your applications first. There is simply no better way than making a complete, byte-by-byte duplicate of your drive to ensure that nothing gets forgotten about. That is also very useful if you want to upgrade or replace your hard drive or even your entire computer. With a complete disk image on hand to extract onto the new device, there is no need to manually reinstall everything, which can easily take a day or more.
