Rane ECM 64e - Manual (Page 3)

Manual-3
Rear Panel Description
ቢ Chassis ground point: A #6-32 screw is supplied for chassis grounding purposes. Although the RS 3 supplies a third wire
ground, some installations may require that all audio equipment be tied together using a grounding bus.
ባ POWER input jack: This 5-pin DIN connects to the included RS 3 power supply. Warning! Connect the power supply
DIN connector to the ECM 64e BEFORE connecting to AC power, otherwise damage may occur.
ቤ RW 232 CONTROL - OUTPUT: This DB-9 male connects to downstream RW 232 units.
ብ RW 232 CONTROL - INPUT: This DB-9 female connects to the RS-232 output of the controller (or PC), or the OUTPUT
of another RW 232 unit connected to the controller. Rane uses a standard RS-232 interface using Rane’s RW 232 protocol
operating at 19.2 kb. Units connect by daisy-chaining the products on a serial bus, OUTPUT to INPUT.
ቦ RW 232 CONTROL - DEVICE ADDRESS: Sets the RW 232 address for the ECM 64e. Each RW 232 unit connected
together requires a different address. If the RW 232 Control Device Address is set to an invalid address, the COM indicator
continually flashes. The Device Address can be changed without power cycling the unit. See page #.
ቧ MRP/EXT. CTRL: is a DB-15 female connector used for remote functions. See Memory Recall Port / External Control on
page Manual-7.
ቨ DH 1e cover plate: is supplied with ECM 64e units that do not include the DH 1e Digital Hybrid. The ECM 64eAD includes
the DH 1e, therefore the plate is not supplied.
ቩ PHONE and LINE: These 4-pin RJ-11 jacks magically appear when the DH 1e is installed, included with the ECM 64eAD.
The PHONE jack connects to a standard two-wire POTS telephone. This connection is disconnected when the ECM 64e is Off
Hook. The LINE jack connects to a standard two-wire POTS line.
ቪ AEC OUT: is an unbalanced line-level Output. This delivers direct access to the ECA 2 Acoustic Echo Canceller’s Output,
when installed. The ECA 2 is included in the ECM 64eAD. This may be useful in larger system configurations.
ቫ OUT 3: is a balanced line-level Output for general purpose, typically connected to a VCR’s input.
ቭ OUT 2: is a balanced line-level Output for general purpose, typically connected to a Video Codec’s input.
ቮ PROGRAM (OUT 1): is a balanced line-level Output, typically connected to the room’s program loudspeaker amplifier.
This Output can also be assigned to the ECA 2 Acoustic Echo Canceller Reference in RaneWare.
ቯ AEC REF OUT: is an unbalanced line-level Output. This connects to what is being sent to the ECA 2 Acoustic Echo
Canceller’s Input, when installed. The ECA 2 is included in the ECM 64eAD. This may be useful in larger systems.
ተ AUX IN: is a balanced line-level Input, typically connected to a VCR’s output.
ቱ AEC REF IN: is an unbalanced line-level Input. Use this when the Reference for the ECA 2 Acoustic Echo Canceller needs
to come from an external source. In RaneWare select EXT. IN as the AEC REF.
ቲ LINE IN: is a balanced line-level Input, typically connected to the video codec’s output.
ታ MIC INPUTS: Four Mic or Line balanced Inputs via a 12-pin Euroblock. These Inputs route to the matrix mixers and the
ECA 2 Acoustic Echo Canceller Input.
ቴ PHANTOM POWER switches: select Phantom Power to each individual MIC Input.
