Preamp Out; Speaker Output - ELECTROCOMPANIET ECI 6 Owner's Manual

ENG
How to connect your system
Please read this page carefully and follow, page 11-12 as reference.
Balanced XLR input and operation
The balanced mode can only be used if the signal source has a
balanced 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
Single ended RCA input and operation:
The left channel is the top row on the rear, marked black. All inputs are
similar regarding sonic performance. Unused inputs may be shorted to
ground, using a RCA shorting plug.
HT (Home Theatre)
HT is a direct input where the volume control is bypassed. ECI 6 will
work like a power amplifier with fixed gain. When selected the output
will be muted for a few seconds as a safety against accidental overload.

Preamp out:

The preamp out is dependent on the volume control setting, and MUTE
function. These outputs (balanced and single ended) can be used to
control an additional power amplifier.

Speaker output:

Never short the positive output to ground or chassis. Switch the amplifier
off when connecting the speakers.
How to power up your system
You should always power up your system the following way:
Signal sources (CD player, tuner etc.) first. Allow a 30 seconds warm-up
before you turn on the ECI 6.
When switching off your system
Start with the ECI 6, then the signal sources. If the preamplifier output is
connected to a power amplifier, then turn off the power before or at the
same time as ECI 6.
