6.3. Audio input connections
The eCA120HZ 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 provides 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 (
OUTPUT
) uses a Euroblock connector with a common terminal (0V),
a terminal for a 70V line and another terminal for a 100V line. Always use the common
terminal and, depending on the type of speaker in the system, one of the two others, 70 or
100V, to feed the loudspeaker line.
The connection cable that connects the eCA120HZ connectors and the speakers should
be good quality, with a suitable cross section and as short as possible.
The OUTPUT provides an amplified version of the mono-converted input signal.
Remember that the total power used by the speakers connected to the eCA120HZ output
should not exceed the maximum power it can provide.
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 eCA120HZ.
The jumper labeled "REMOTE" on the front panel has to be in the ON position to enable
the remote volume control.
