• If you are not getting expected results from the unit, please ensure that switches (A),
(B), (C) and (D) are positioned as follows: Direct ON, Motor ON, S on S OFF, Echo ON.
This may seem very simple, but it’s surprisingly easy to miss - even for those of us who’ve
designed the unit. Similarly, make sure that the corresponding input volume control for
your desired input (M) or (N) is set to 12 o’clock, the Echo Volume (R) is turned up, and
the Feedback Control (U) is set around 11 o’clock.
• Your unit ships with a universal-voltage switch-mode power supply. This is safe to
connect to any worldwide mains voltage supply, using the correct IEC-C7 (“Figure 8”)
cable for your region. If you should need to replace this for any reason, please ensure
that you use a high-quality, low-noise 24V 2Amp supply with a 2.1mm centre positive
connector. Of course, you can always contact us for a replacement supply as well.
• If you experience excessive wow and flutter (pitch instability), this usually indicates
it is time to replace the tape loop in your EF-X2. A tape loop can last anywhere from
50 - 300 hours, depending on humidity and other atmospheric conditions. We have
discounted tape loops available at
www.echofix.com
for EF-X2 owners.

If you have questions or concerns, you are welcome to contact us at any time,
and we’ll do whatever we can to help:
Your EF-X2 has been designed to last - whether in a studio environment or
regularly used in a live environment, we’ve done everything we possibly can to
ensure that your unit will be up to the task. On your end, however, there are a few
simple measures you can take to ensure reliable and consistent performance.
• Tape echoes rely on the use of tape and parts that are designed for the
task. We have been fitting premium parts and tape to other units for years - it
hopefully goes without saying, but only use genuine Echo Fix EF-X2 parts for the
upkeep of your unit. The fitting of inferior tape or parts will void your warranty,
will adversely a
ff
ect performance, and will likely damage the unit.
• Regularly clean the heads on your unit with isopropyl alcohol and cotton tips
(cotton tips supplied). Please refer to our “how-to” guide on YouTube if you
aren’t sure how to do this.
