Suggested Connection Scheme
The ECS-410 will normally be connected with every input and
output point wired into your balanced analog Patchbay. This
hookup allows convenient access to the plentitude of inputs
and outputs and provides the greatest flexibility.
Because you have the power of TouchPatch, you may be
tempted to connect just a single channel of input and output.
Although this simple setup is fine while you get acquainted
with this fine instrument, you’ll be missing out on a lot of
potential connections.
+4 Balanced Outputs (4)
Each section of the ECS-410 has its own +4dBu XLR output. All
four outputs are balanced and low impedance, compatible with
professional recording and audio equipment.
Balanced outputs provide superior noise immunity in the studio
and when using long cable runs.
The output connector is wired as follows:
Pin 1= Ground, Pin 2 = (+) Signal, Pin 3 = (-) Signal.
-10dB Balanced Outputs (2)
The Microphone Preamp and the DriveBus Output sections both
have an additional -10dBV, 1/4” balanced (TRS) output designed
to interface with your recording device, compressor or EQ.
(0 VU on the output VU meter corresponds to +4dBu)
Note: You can use all inputs
and outputs at the same time
for versatility.
Important: For proper
operation of the ECS-410 (or
any vacuum tube device for
that matter), allow the unit to
warm up with power on for 15
minutes before use.
Important: Do not block
the cooling holes and allow
adequate ventilation.
