ECI 3

Unpacking the ECI 3

Immediately upon receipt of the ECI 3, 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 integrated amplifier.

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

The contents of the carton

1 pcs Electrocompaniet: ECI 3 integrated amplifier.

1 pcs AC mains cord.

1 pcs spare Mains Fuse, (located in the fuse drawer) .

1 pcs inspection card.

1 pcs remote control.

2 pcs batteries.

Set up procedure

Before connecting the ECI 3 to the mains, check that the mains voltage indicated on the rear

panel corresponds to the line voltage in the territory were 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 ECI 3 contains delicate circuits that are sensitive to magnetic strayfields.

The unit should not be placed near mains 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 your system

Please read this page carefully and follow diagram 1.

Inputs

Single ended operation:

The left channel is the top row on the rear, marked black.

All inputs are similar regarding sonic performance.

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

To use the balanced input single ended, connect the ECP5XLR in the XLR

Outputs

REC:

Tape 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, but will be shut off by the

MUTE function.

Never use shorting plugs in outputs.

PRE OUT:

The pre out is dependent by the volume control setting, and MUTE function.

These outputs (balanced and single ended) can be used to control an additional power amplifier.

If more than one amplifier is used, and these amplifiers are DC coupled on the input side, they will

influence on each other when the amplifiers are switched on/off.

To avoid any problem, these amplifiers must be turned on/off simultaneously.

Never use shorting plugs on the outputs.

GAIN SWITCH

On the rear panel you will find a switch to adjust the gain in the amplifier.

Use this switch to accommodate the signal source to the amplifier.

SPEAKER OUTPUT:

Never short the positive output to ground or chassis.

Switch the amplifier off when connecting the speakers.

How to power up your system

You should always power up your system the following way:

Signal sources (CD Player, tuner etc.) first.

Allow a 30 seconds warm-up before you turn on the ECI 3.

When switching off your system:

Start with the ECI 3, then the signal sources.

Remote control Diagram 2

1. Input selector CD, TUNER, TAPE, DVD, VCR, AUX.

2. Mute on / off

3. Volume up

4. Volume down

Front panel Diagram 3

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

In daily operation, switch off the ECI 3 by using the MUTE button on the remote control.

If the ECI 3 has been switched off, allow two hours of warm-up for optimal sonic performance.

When the ECI 3 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.

Replacing a blown mains fuse Diagram 4

The mains fuse is located in a small drawer inside the AC inlet of the unit.

If, for some reason the fuse is blown, turn the unit off, and remove the AC cord from the AC inlet.

Open the drawer with a small screwdriver and remove the blown fuse.

The spare fuse is located inside a holder in front of the main fuse.

1. Remove the spare fuse gently by pushing it sideways out of its holder.

2. Insert the spare fuse as the active fuse.

3. Push the drawer gently back to closed position.

4. Re-insert the AC cord and turn the unit on.

Never replace the fuse with other values than indicated on the unit!

Replacing remote control batteries Diagram 5

Replace used batteries by gently inserting your fingernail or small screwdriver in the groove on

the left side of the battery compartment cover.

Lift the cover off, and insert a fresh set of batteries.

Be careful to follow the + and – polarity indications at the bottom of the battery compartment.

Battery: 2 x LR03 / AAA: 1.5Volts

Input configurations Diagram 6

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

RCA:Center = positive Circle = ground.

Output configurations Diagram 6 and 1

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

Speaker: Red = positive Black or White = ground

RCA to XLR adopter: ECP5XLR ; ground and negative = shorted. 2 = positive

Technical specifications ECI 3:

The following technical data where measured on randomized test objects and are typical data.

All measurements are made at 120V / 240V // 50Hz / 60Hz

Clipping point of the amplifier is set to a level where total harmonic distortion (THD) is 0.2 %.

Preamplifier section

Nominal input impedance 330 kohm

Maximum input level > 10 Volt RMS

Equivalent input noise < 4 uV

Input sensitivity for rated output single end 0.6 V

Input sensitivity for rated output balanced 0.3 V

Amplifier section

Output Impedance (20 Hz - 20 KHz) < 0,01 Ohm

Important Notice

For optimal sonic performance, the ECI 3 should be burned in for a minimum time of 72 hours.

The easiest way to burn in your ECI 3 is to put a signal at any input, without the speakers

connected In daily operation, switch off the ECI 3 by using the MUTE button on the remote

control. If the ECI 3 has been switched off, allow two hours of warm-up to optimal sonic

performance.

Due to high class A operation in all Electrocompaniet designs, it is normal for the ECI 3 to feel

warm. 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 ECI 3
