  • Page 3 Esperanto. Like any precious element, ERCO is the first Ferrum product that we labelled “Desktop High-End”. This small box simply deserves to be in a category of its own. ERCO is everything you need to get the most out of your listening experience while working, studying or just relaxing with favorite headphones or powered loudspeakers in a desktop environment.

    If the component is placed in a bookcase or cabinet, there must be ventilation of the cabinet to allow proper cooling. Keep the ERCO away from radiators, kettles, heat registers, stoves, or any other appliance that produces heat. Connect the ERCO only to a power source that meets its requirements (voltage and amps). We recommend using Ferrum power supplies.

    Ferrum Power Link - ERCO performs very, very good right out of the box. But ERCO is made to excel above and beyond when used together with HYPSOS. We use what we dubbed our Ferrum Power Link (FPL in short) to connect the two.

    The bypass function (Fig. 2G) disables the built-in potentiometer in ERCO. As a result, the signal given at the input of ERCO will be transmitted to the RCA or XLR outputs with all its power. This is useful when it is more convenient for the user to control the volume from the sound source.

    6.3. Using ERCO with amplifiers or active speakers The potentiometer built into the ERCO a ects the volume of not only the headphones, but also the RCA and XLR outputs (when Bypass is disabled). We recommend disconnecting headphones from the ERCO if they are not used for a longer period of time, and especially if you want to control volume on RCA or XLR outputs (when an amplifier or active speakers are connected).
