6.3. Audio input connections
The eCA120 input channel only supports stereo line signals (or two mono signals). It has
an unbalanced stereo connection with dual RCA connector and 3-pin Euroblock connector
(LINE IN / STACK). This input is designed to support -6dBV to 0dBV signals, given that the
rotary volume control of the front panel has an extra +6dB of gain at its maximum position.
This audio input can receive signals from CD players, radio tuners, mixing consoles, media
players, audio outputs of computers and tablets, etc.
LINE IN and STACK connections are linked, so that when you use one of them as an audio
signal input for your unit, you can use the other to send that signal to another unit or
external equipment.
Note:
Turntables CANNOT BE CONNECTED directly to this device
because none of
the inputs have an RIAA preamp.
6.4. Audio output connections
The amplified output (
OUT L
and
R
) have Euroblock connectors.
The connection cable that connects the eCA120 connectors and the speakers should be
good quality, with a suitable cross section and as short as possible.
The L and R outputs respectively deliver an amplified version of the L and R inputs of the
unit.
Remember that the minimum load impedance for each output channel is 4
. For correct
operation of the eCA120, under no circumstances must you work with impedance lower
than specified above.
6.5. Remote control port
The RJ-45
REMOTE
connector allows to connect a WPmVOL-type wall control panel (or
another model of the WPm series) to adjust the overall output volume. The connection
is made with a standard CAT5 cable between the WPm wall panel and the REMOTE
connector of the eCA120.
Note:
The jumper labeled "REMOTE" on the front panel has to be in the ON position to
enable the remote volume control.
