ELECTROCOMPANIET EC 4.9 Bedienungsanleitung
EC 4.9
Unpacking the EC 4.9
Immediately upon receipt of the EC 4.9, 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 4.9 (preamplifier)
1 pcs AC mains cord.
1 pcs inspection card.
Set up procedure
Before connecting the EC 4.9 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 4.9 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.

Inputs
ingle- ended operation:
All inputs are similar regarding sonic performance.
Unused inputs may be shorted to ground, using a RCA shorting plug.
Balanced operation:
There are three set of balanced inputs.
Two set for 6 channel operations, labelled Input 1 and Input 2, and one set for 2 channel
operations labelled CD.
Note that the two 6 channel inputs may also be used for 2 channel operations.
Outputs
REC:
Rec outputs are used for recording.
The source you listen to will be monitored through this output.
The record function is not influenced by the volume control setting.
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 controls 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 amplifiers will automatically switch
to mono mode when running 2 channel sources.
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 4.9.
REMOTE CHARGE:
Connect the remote ECT2 (sold separately) to this port to charge the remote.
Front panel
See illustration 2 and illustration 3.
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:
In 1 : 6 channel balanced operation on source connected to Input 1.
In 1 - 2 Ch : 2 channel balanced operation on source connected to Input 1.
Only Front Right and Front Left input will be used.
In 2 : 6 channel balanced operation on source connected to Input 2.
In 2 - 2 Ch : 2 channel balanced operation on source connected to Input 2.
Only Front Right and Front Left input will be used.
CD : 2 channel balanced operation on source connected to CD input.
Tuner : 2 channel single ended operation on source connected to Tuner input.
Tape : 2 channel single ended operation on source connected to Tape input.
DVD : 2 channel single ended operation on source connected to DVD input.
In daily operation, switch off the EC 4.9 by turning the volume control down.
When the EC 4.9 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 4.9.
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 4.9, 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 notice.
Important Notice
For optimal sonic performance, the EC 4.9 should be burned in for a minimum time of 72
hours.
If the EC 4.9 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 4.9.
