Too many government regs anyway. The 3rd world product companies do this all the time so why shouldn’t USA makers be able to?

Who cares? Did you get fired and this is your way of trying to get even. Emotiva is a thriving company two years after you posted this crap.

The ERC-1 was released without proper safety testing. This was not an oversight…Dan Laufman knew this.

It’s true. The ERC-1 was released without proper saftey certification. Dan Laufman, Cathy Laufman, and Lonnie Vaughn misled customers about this, saying that the lack of safety disclaimers in the manual was an oversight. This was not true. A company in Georgia was hired to quickly certify the ERC-1, quietly, after it was already being sold Lonnie Vaughn feared that if someone discovered the truth, Emotiva would be closed down by the FCC.

A federal report was filed with the FCC today concerning the illegal release of the ERC-1.

This product was released without proper FCC testing. It was illegal.

I knowâ€¦I was there. I will testify in court that Lonnie Vaughn told me the unit had not been tested. He told me to tell anyone who asked that the omission of a safety statement in the manual was an oversight. I did so.

This was a lie.

Dan Laufman released this unit without safety testing. Lonnie found a company in Georgia who did a quickie certification on the hush-hush.

This is an example of Emotivaâ€™s poor planningâ€¦also an exmaple of their sometimes deceptive tactics.

Lonnie was worried that if this was discovered, the company would be shut down. Laufman should have listened to him.
