Rane ECS Hardware (ECB 62e and ECM 82e) - Manual (Page 6)

HW Manual-6
DESCRIPTION
The ECS 62 is a plug-in module for the ECB 62e Base.
Once installed, the Base can accommodate both stereo and
mono audio. Included on the module is a duplicate of the
Base’s Audio Bridge, with the exception that Port 1 has no
external input connection, and the Mono Program Output is
eliminated. The stereo module mounts on top of the ECB 62e
motherboard and is designated as the Left channel.
The ECS 62 installs by temporarily removing the top
cover of the ECB 62e and seating the card onto factory
installed standoffs on the motherboard. See Figure 8 below.
Warning: Proper static discharge measures must be
followed when installing or configuring this card.

ECS 62 LEFT CHANNEL FEATURES
• Six Port Selective Audio Bridge, control is combined with
the ECB 62e Right channel Audio Bridge.
• Hardware Pad switches set Input attenuation on Ports 2-6.
• Software Programmable Level controls on all Inputs and
Outputs combined with the Base’s Right channel Levels.
• Port 1’s mono inputs deliver signal to both Right and Left
channels of Port 1.
• Internal hardware jumpers provide mono Outputs.
STEREO & MONO OPERATION
Both mono and stereo equipment are accommodated by
installing the ECS 62 into the ECB 62e and placing the
internal Mono Output jumpers to their “mono” positions for
mono equipment. Mono Input signals must be wired to both
the Left and Right Inputs of the Base. Both Left and Right
Port Outputs produce the same mono signal. See page
Manual-12 for mono source cable wiring.
Since Port 1 is designated as the Program Output, it does
not have a Mono jumper. Both mono and stereo Outputs are
provided simultaneously from Port 1.
Note: Audio levels from the ECS 62 are not monitored by
the ECB 62e Base.
