This may cause damage to your power amplifier and loudspeakers. - Page 5 Since all the variable settings are located in the DIPswitch array on the rear panel of the phono stage, it is practical to place the ECP 2 MKII so you have access to these switches, during the initial “tuning” period. If the phono stage is to be placed in a rack, simply place it with the rear panel pointing to the front of the rack.
