Page 3: Important Safety Instructions
Condensation may occur when moving the ECP 2 from a cold location to a warm one, or vice versa. Should this occur, the ECP 2 may not operate properly. In such a case please turn the unit on for 1-2 hours to facilitate moisture evaporation. - Page 4 Set up procedure Before connecting the ECP 2 phono stage to the AC Power outlet, check that the main voltage indicated on the rear panel corresponds to the line voltage in the country were you intend to use the unit.

If your line stage, pre amplifier or integrated amplifier does not have a XLR input option use the optional RCA output instead. The ECP 2 has a fixed (high) output, so DO NOT connect it – directly - to a power amplifier. This may cause damage to your power amplifier and loudspeakers.
- Page 7 A DIPswitch is a small mechanical switch. It is often placed together with other DIPswitches, in an array. On the ECP 2 there are two arrays of 12 switches, one for each channel. In the down position the switch is ON and in the up position the switch is OFF. It is not easy to operate the DIPswitches with your fingers, so some sort of pencil should be used.
- Page 8 0,05 mV output and there are high output moving magnet cartridges with up against 10,00 mV output. The ECP 2 will work with both of these extremes, and everything in between. With cartridges having very low output, you simply have to crank up the volume on your amplifier a little more.
- Page 9 Moving Magnet (MM), Moving Iron (MI), Moving Micro Cross (MMC) and high output Moving Coil cartridges out there. However, some cartridges especially high output MCs and some MMCs will sound better with a harder (lower) resistance loading. The ECP 2 is therefore equipped with an optional 2,5k Ohm loading on its MM input.
- Page 10 To compensate for the high inductance in MM, MI and MMC cartridges, arm cables and intercon- nect cables (that will cause peaks in the high frequency range), the ECP 2 is equipped with capaci- tive loading on its input. Check the cartridges instruction manual for the recommended setting for your cartridge.
