Setup Guide
The ECS-10’s Controls and Connections
A MASTER POWER Switch
This switch is used to turn the ECS-10 on or off. When the unit will not be
used for extended periods, we recommend that it be turned off to prevent
accidental activation.
B SUBWOOFER VOLUME Control
This knob controls the output level of the ECS-10.
C AUTO ON/OFF Power Switch
This switch enables the ECS-10’s signal sense mode so that the unit turns on
automatically when an audio signal is present.
D LOW-PASS CROSSOVER Control
This control sets the frequency of the built in variable low pass crossover.
E X-OVER Switch
When an external crossover such as the Outlaw Audio ICBM is used, this
switch will bypass the ECS-10’s internal crossover.
F PHASE Switch
This control changes the phase of the ECS-10 with respect to the main
speakers.
G LINE LEVEL OUT
Connect these bandwidth limited outputs to your power amplifier.
H LFE
Connect the subwoofer output or stereo preamp outputs of your receiver,
processor or other source device or accessory to this jack(s).
I HIGH LEVEL INPUTS
When your receiver does not have line level outputs available for a subwoofer
connection, connect the speaker outputs of the receiver here.
Setup Guide
Connecting To Your System
To get the maximum performance from your new ECS-10 it must be properly
connected, positioned properly within the room and configured to match your
speakers. To connect the ECS-10 you will need either a single audio interconnect
cable (in the case of systems with a subwoofer output), a pair of audio intercon-
nects (in the case of systems without a left/right pre-amp outpt) or additional
speaker wire. We recommend the Outlaw Audio PCA SUB cable, but any high
quality, shielded audio interconnect will work properly.
Connecting to a System with a Subwoofer
Preamp Output
If a low-level subwoofer output is available, use this jack to connect your ECS
subwoofer to your Preamp or Receiver. See Diagram 1 below.
To connect the ECS-10 to a subwoofer preamp output:
1.
Turn off all system components and unplug the processor or receiver
and the ECS-10 from their AC power source.
2.
Locate the “Subwoofer/LFE Output“ on the rear panel of your receiver
or processor.
Any audio product that decodes Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks will have
this type of jack. Depending on the particular brand or model, this RCA
jack may be labeled “Sub,” “Subwoofer,” or “LFE Out.” If your receiver
or processor does not have this type of output you will need to follow the
“Connecting to a System with No Preamp Outputs“ instructions that fol-
low this section.
3.
Connect one end of the subwoofer cable to the subwoofer or LFE output
on the receiver or processor.
4.
Locate the connection labeled LFE on the rear panel of the ECS-10 and
connect the other end of the subwoofer cable to that jack.
