Outlaw Audio ECS-10 owner manual Connecting to a System with no Preamp Outputs

5.If you are using a separate power amplifier, connect a second set of interconnects to the connections labeled “OUTPUT” on the ECS-10 power amp.

Note: The ECS-10’s line level output is bandwidth limited to signals above 80Hz. This enables you to use the ECS-10 with small satellite speakers by limiting the amount of low frequency information they will be asked to reproduce. Subsequently, the reduced demand on your power amplifier and speakers will result in better sound across the board.

6.Locate the corresponding amplifier channels on your dedicated power amplifier and connect the other end of the interconnects to these jacks.

7.Plug the ECS-10’s power cord into an un-switched AC outlet.

Due to the power requirements of the ECS-10, it must not be connected to the accessory outlets on a receiver or processor. If a power-strip or surge protector is used, make certain that it is rated to accommodate the ECS-10’s power requirements.

8.Reconnect your processor or receiver to the AC power source.

9.Proceed to the “Setting The ECS-10’s Controls” section to learn about the ECS-10’s controls and how they operate.

Connecting to a System with no Preamp Outputs

If no low level subwoofer or standard left/right output is available, you will need to run speaker wires from your main amplifier or receiver to the subwoofer amplifier. See Diagram 3 below.

To connect the ECS-10 using high level inputs:

Owner’s Manual

Subwoofer Placement

1.Turn off all system components and unplug the receiver and/or amplifier and the ECS-10 from their AC power source.

2.Locate the front left/right speaker output terminals on your receiver or amplifier.

In cases where there are both “A” and “B” terminals, the “A” terminals should be used. Disconnect any wire that is presently connected to these terminals.

3.Using the same type of speaker wire used for your other speaker connections; connect the left and right channel speaker outputs of your receiver or amplifier to the ECS-10’s “Speaker Level Input”.

NOTE: Be sure to connect the speaker wires to the appropriate input binding posts located on the back of the ECS-10, making certain that the polarity (-/+) on the receiver or amplifier matches the polarity on the binding posts of the subwoofer amplifier. In most cases this means connecting the red terminal on the receiver or amplifier to the red terminal on the ECS-10, but always check the markings on the rear panel to insure “+ to +” and “- to –“ connections.

4.Plug the ECS-10’s power cord into an un-switched AC outlet.

CAUTION: Due to the power requirements of the ECS-10, it must not be connected to the accessory outlets on a receiver or processor. If a power-strip or surge protector is used, make certain that it is rated to accommodate the ECS-10’s power requirements.

5.Reconnect your receiver and/or amplifier to the AC power source.

6.Proceed to the “Setting The ECS-10’s Controls” section to learn about the ECS-10’s controls and how they operate.
