Unpacking the amplifier: Immediately upon receipt of the amplifier, inspect the carton for possible damage during shipment. If the carton is visibly damaged, a claim must be filed with the carrier as soon as possible. Unpack the unit carefully, and please do remember to save all packaging materials for future shipment. The carton and packaging have been designed to offer the safest possible protection when transporting your amplifier.
The rear panel The rear panel of the Ampliwire AW 2x120 is equipped with XLR inputs. Balanced XLR operation Use an interconnect with ground on pin 1, + on pin 2 and – on pin 3 Single ended operation Use an RCA to XLR adapter (ECP5XLR). Connect ECP5XLR to the XLR input. Connect the RCA interconnect to the input on the ECP5XLR Speakers Connect the speakers to the + and - output terminals Spac Connect the EC 4.9 – AW 120 Communication cable from the Spac port to EC 4.8 or EC 4.
Technical Specifications AW 2x120: The following technical data were measured on randomised test objects and are typical data. All measurements are made with the following equipment: Distortion analyser:Tektronix AA501 Oscilloscope: Tektronix 468 Oscillator: Tektronix SG505 Frequency counter: Rascal 9838 Phase meter: Hewlett Packard 3575A Amplifier section Main voltage 120 V / 240 V. Clipping point of the amplifier is set to a level where total harmonic distortion (THD) is 0.2 %.
Important Notice For optimal sonic performance, the AW 2x120 should be burned in for a minimum time of 72 hours. If the AW 2x120 has been switched off, allow two hours of warm-up for optimal sonic performance. Due to high class A operation in all Electrocompaniet designs, it is normal for the AW 2x120 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 EC 4.9.
