How to connect your system
( illustration "back panel", page 9.)
Outputs
( See illustration "back panel", page 8.)
Balanced XLR
The balanced mode can only be used if the signal source has a bal-
anced output. Use an XLR interconnect with GND on pin 1, + on pin2,
and - on pin 3. To use the balanced input with a source single ended,
connect the ECP5XLR in the XLR.
Inputs
SPDIF inputs
( See illustration "back panel", page 8.)
ECD 2 will accept optical SPDIF sources up to 96 kHz/24bit on inputs
TOSLink1 and TOSLink2. Please use a optical TOSLink cable for this
connection. Connect coaxial sources up to 192kHz/24bit to inputs COAX1
and COAX2. Please use a coaxial SPDIF cable for this connection.
USB input
( See illustration "back panel", page 8.)
The USB input accept sources up to 24bit/192kHz. Connect a PC/Mac/
Linux computer using a standard type A-B USB cable. ECD 2 will show
up as a sound device on your computer. Please select ECD 2 as the
active device to enable playback through ECD 2. On Windows drivers
are needed. Please install the drivers before connecting the USB cable
and follow the instructions. During installation you will be asked to con-
nect the USB cable. The latest drivers can be downloaded from: www.
electrocompaniet.no/downloads.
12V trigger Input/Output
( See illustration "back panel", page 8.)
The 12V trigger output may be used to automatically power up a
CD-player (or other equipment with 12V trigger input) when ECD 2 is
powered up. When ECD 2 powers up the 12V trigger output will be set
to 12V and will support up to 75 mA current output. Please keep the cur-
rent draw below 75 mA by limiting the number of devices connected to
the 12V trigger output. The ECD 2 will power up (leave standby) when
a voltage in range 8-20V (AC or DC) is present on the 12V trigger input,
and stays powered on for as long as the voltage is present. The current
draw at the 12V trigger input is 3.3mA.
RS-232 Control Port
( See illustration "back panel", page 8.)
The RS-232 control port may be used in home installation setups or general
usage for controlling basic functionality on the ECD 2. Please refer
to document "ECD 2 RS232 Command Reference V1.pdf" for further infor-
mation. This document may be downloaded from www.electrocompaniet.no
