Electrocompaniet ECP1 - Manual (Page 4)

Connecting ECP1 Phono preamplifier
Connecting to mains
Check that the mains voltage printed on the AC adapter corresponds with the line voltage
in the territory were you intend to connect your preamplifier.
The rear panel
The rear panel of the ECP1 contains all input- and output connectors. The printed rear
panel clearly indicates the function of each connector.
How to avoid noise problems
The ECP1 preamplifier contains circuitry that might be sensitive to magnetic fields. The set
should be placed well away from transformers, etc. Care should also be taken in routing all
signal cables. They should not run parallel to speaker cables or AC cables mains). Keep
cables as short as possible. For minimum hum, the preamplifier should be places on the
right side of the power amplifier because of the location of the MC circuitry). If placed
above a power amplifier, leave at least 4" 110 cm) of space between the top of the
amplifier and bottom of the preamplifier.
How to avoid damages
A good operating practice is to turn off all equipment before any connection or
disconnection are made. Do not under any circumstances connect or disconnect
equipment when power is turned on. If you insist on connecting or disconnecting while
power is turned on, you should be aware that the design of the RCA plug generates a
large transient when inserting the plug. This could damage both the speakers and the
amplifier.
Switches
The MC/MM switch is located at the rear of the unit, and LED in the frontpanel indicate the
selected type of cartridge.
ALWAYS turn the volume control all the way down before changing from MM/MC or MC/
MM.
