EC 4.8

Unpacking the EC 4.8

Immediately upon receipt of the EC 4.8, inspect the carton for possible damage during shipment.

The carton and packaging have been designed to provide the safest possible protection

for transport of your preamplifier.

Unpack the unit carefully. ave all packaging materials for future shipment.

The contents of the carton

1 pcs Electrocompaniet EC 4.8 (preamplifier)

1 pcs AC mains cord.

1 pcs inspection card.

1 pcs remote control

2 pcs batteries

Set up procedure

Before connecting the EC 4.8 to the mains, check that the main voltage indicated on the rear panel

corresponds to the line voltage in the territory where you intend to use the unit.

How to avoid damages

Do not under any circumstances connect or disconnect equipment when power is turned on.

The design of the RCA plug generates a huge transient when inserted.

Connecting or disconnecting equipment with the power on can result in severe damage to both

speakers and amplifier.

How to avoid noise problems

The EC 4.8 contains delicate circuits that are sensitive to magnetic stray fields.

The unit should not be placed near main transformers, TV sets, etc. Care should also be taken

regarding placement of the interconnect cables. Do not run interconnect cables in parallel with main

cords or speaker cables. Keep interconnect cables as short as possible.

How to avoid possible antenna problems

In some set-ups hum may occur when you connect the radio, VCR or TV to your system.

The problem is caused by DC voltage coming from your antenna.

Please contact your cable network operator.

How to connect our s stem

See illustration 1.

Inputs

ingle- ended operation:

There are three sets of single ended inputs labelled Tape, Tuner and HT/Aux.

All inputs are similar regarding sonic performance.

Unused inputs may be shorted to ground, using a RCA shorting plug.

Balanced operation:

There are two sets of balanced inputs labelled ACD/DVD and CD.

Connect the right channel input to the inputs on the right side of the EC 4.8 and the left channel

inputs on the left side of the EC 4.8.

Outputs

REC:

Rec outputs are used for recording.

The source you listen to will be monitored through this output.

The volume control setting does not influence the record function.

Never use shorting plugs in outputs.

LINE OUT:

The line out is a variable output, dependent on the volume control setting and MUTE function.

These outputs control the power amplifier(s).

PAC:

These contacts are used to communicate with power amplifiers AW 2x120 and AW 3x120.

Connect a PAC Com cable (sold separately) from PAC A to one of the amplifier and PAC B to

the other.

When these cables are connected to the amplifiers the EC 4.8 will monitor the vital functions on the

amplifiers.

PAC Multi is reserved for future use.

DATA:

Connect an U B cable from the DATA port to a PC to upgrade the software on the EC 4.8.

REMOTE CHARGE:

Connect the remote ECT2 (sold separately) to this port to charge the remote.

Front panel

The main switch is located in the centre of the lower part of the front panel.

The four buttons on the right-hand side of the front panel is used to adjust the volume and select the

input source.

Use the up and down buttons to adjust the volume, and the left and right buttons to select input

source.

The available input sources are:

ACD / DVD : Balanced operation on source connected to ACD / DVD input.

CD : Balanced operation on source connected to CD input.

Tuner : ingle ended operation on source connected to Tuner input.

Tape : ingle ended operation on source connected to Tape input.

HT/AUX : ingle ended operation on source connected to HT/AUX input.

In daily operation, switch off the EC 4.8 by turning the volume control down.

When the EC 4.8 is not to be used for a long period of time, use the main switch to turn the unit off.

Then disconnect the AC main cord for maximum safety.

Navigator window

This window on the left-hand side of the front panel shows what source that is currently active and

the current listening volume.

How to power up our s stem

You should always power up your system in the following way:

ignal sources (CD player, tuner, etc.) first, then the EC 4.8.

Allow a 30 seconds warm-up before you turn on the amplifier.

When switching off our s stem

tart with the amplifier, then the EC 4.8, then the signal sources.

Input configurations

XLR input: 1 = ground 2 = positive 3 = negative

RCA: Circle = ground Centre = positive

Output configurations

XLR output: 1 = ground 2 = positive 3 = negative

peaker: Red = positive Black or White = ground

RCA to XLR adapter: 1 & 3; ground and negative = shorted, 2 = positive

pecifications subject to change without further notice.

Important Notice

For optimal sonic performance, the EC 4.8 should be burned in for a minimum time of 72 hours.

If the EC 4.8 has been switched off, allow two hours of warm-up for optimal sonic performance.

Proper ventilation is important.

Never cover the ventilation area.

A good rule of thumb is to allow at least 3 - 5 cm (1 - 2 inches) of air sidewise, and 5 – 8 cm

(2 - 3 inches) above the EC 4.8.

If service is needed

Your dealer will have all relevant information regarding the service centre in your area and will

ensure that your unit is serviced with minimum delay.

It is our general policy to have your unit returned to you within five working days.

This is an average time and can vary locally, depending on the workload at that particular service

centre.

If, for some reason, there are no service facilities available in your country, please ship the unit to
