HOW TO CONNECT YOUR SYSTEM 

( illustration “rear panel”, page  5.)

SPDIF inputs 

( See illustration “back panel”, page 5.)

ECM 1 MKII will accept optical SPDIF sources up to 192kHz/24bit on inputs TOSLink1 

and TOSLink2. Please use a optical TOSLink cable for this connection. Connect coaxial 

sources up to 192kHz/24bit to inputs COAX1 and COAX2. Please use a coaxial SPDIF 

cable for this connection.

Analog audio output – balanced XLR

Use the balanced XLR connectors if you have an amplifier equipped with balanced XLR 

audio inputs. Connect the balanced XLR audio outputs from your ECM 1 MKII to the 

balanced XLR audio input on your amplifier. Observe correct connection on right and left 

audio channel.

Analog audio output – unbalanced RCA

Use the unbalanced RCA connectors if your amplifier is not equipped with balanced XLR 

audio inputs. Connect the unbalanced RCA audio outputs from your ECM 1 MKII to the 

unbalanced RCA audio input on your amplifier. Observe correct connection on right and 

left audio channel.

12V trigger Input/Output 

( See illustration “rear panel”, page  5.)

Your ECM 1 MKII is equipped with trigger input and trigger output ports. These ports 

can be used for automatically putting your ECM and other equipment into, or wake 

up from, standby mode. Use the trigger input port for connecting to a trigger output 

signal from other equipment. The ECM 1 MKII will power up (leave standby mode) 

when a voltage in the range of 8V-20V (AC or DC) is detected on the trigger input 

port, and will remain powered on for as long as the voltage is present on the trigger 

input port.

NOTE:

The ECM 1 MKII will only react to a change in the trigger signal.

When the detected trigger signal goes from low to high, ECM 1 MKII will wake from standby. 

When the detected trigger signal goes from high to low, ECM1 will go into standby. 

A low trigger signal is defined as less than 1V (AC or DC).

A high trigger signal is defined as more than 8V(AC or DC). The voltage supplied to the trigger 

input must not exceed 20V (AC or DC). A trigger signal is not mandatory to operate the ECM.

Use the trigger output to send the trigger signal to your amplifier, TV, projector or 

other equipment that support trigger signals. This signal can be used to automatically 

switch on/off the connected equipment when you turn on/off your ECM 1 MKII. 

Trigger output is 12V DC. Use a 3,5mm mono jack plug for connecting to trigger 

input and trigger output.
