ECM 82 Mixer - Front Panel Description
ቢ INPUT SIG indicator: Lights when any Input signal, before trim, is above -25 dBu. Use to check signal flow.
ባ INPUT OL indicator: Lights when the Input signal on any Input, before trim, is within 2 dBu of clipping. Watch this when
Selecting the Input GAIN and setting the LEVEL.
ቤ OUTPUT SIG indicator: Lights when the Mix Output signal is above -25 dBu. Use to check signal flow.
ብ OUTPUT OL indicator: Lights when the Mix Output signal level is 2 dBu before clipping.
ቦ MIC GAIN switch: Selects between +6 dB (line level), +40 dB (most mics), or +56 dB.
ቧ MIC LEVEL trim: Use a small flat screwdriver to adjust the Level from off to full on.
ቨ MIC STATUS indicators: Displays the status of the Mic gate: A flashing LED indicates the Mic is Gated On, or the Mic is
the Master Mic for this Mixer. A continuous LED indicates the Mic is the system’s Master Mic. When power is first applied,
the ECM 82 displays its DEVICE ADDRESS until it receives data from the ECB 62. Once data is received, the ECM 82
lights LEDs 1, 2, and 6 for about 1 second.
ቩ EXP indicator: Lights when receiving Expansion Data.
ቪ POWER indicator: Lights when the processor is operating properly.
ECM 82 Installation Notes
If Phantom Power is not required remove the top cover to the ECM 82 and disable it. See page HW Manual-10.
Always leave the RS 3 power supplies for last. Once all the wiring is completed, connect the loop thru power cables
between the ECM 82s ending at the ECB 62. Before connecting the RS 3 make certain that it is not connected to the AC
power. See page HW Manual-11.
The ECS Expansion port is the control between the ECB 62 and the ECM 82s. Using the supplied RJ12 cable connect
the ECM 82s to the ECB 62. Note: The ECM 82s do not use RW 232 addressing. The ECS address for the ECM 82s
determines the Mic number on the ECM 82. ECS address 1 is Mixer 1, Mics 1 thru 8. ECS address 6 is Mixer 6, Mics 41
thru 48. Only use termination on the last Mixer when using four or more Mixers. ECS termination is located inside the
ECM 82. See page HW Manual-2.
