Echo 2 Connections

The main inputs and outputs are the four jacks on the rear of the Echo 2:

Inputs

The Echo 2 has two ¼” TRS (Tip-Ring-Shield) balanced input jacks labeled “IN1” and

“IN2”. The inputs will accept virtually any type of analog signal, such as guitars,

keyboards, microphones, line level signals, or mixer boards. Each input has a built-in,

acoustically transparent, quiet, studio-grade preamp.

You can plug a microphone directly into the Echo 2 without using an external preamp.

The Echo 2 provides phantom power for condenser microphones. If your microphone

has an XLR connector, use the included adapter cable.

You can also connect guitars, keyboards, or other equipment using ¼” cables.

Whenever possible, use balanced, shielded cables to limit external interference.

Unbalanced signals such as those from RCA connectors and guitars should be

connected using mono cables.

Once you have connected the inputs, set the appropriate mode for the input using the

touch panel. This will set up the internal preamp to match the incoming signal.

If you prefer to use an external preamp, simply connect the preamp directly to the

Echo 2’s input, and set it for line level with unity gain. This will preserve any unique

sonic coloration or nuance.
