For high output cartridges, the standard input resistance (RL) - set by the “Recording Industry
Association of America (RIAA)” - is 47 kOhms. This value will work very well with a large majority of
the Moving Magnet (MM), Moving Iron (MI), Moving Micro Cross (MMC) and high output Moving Coil
cartridges out there. However, some cartridges especially high output MCs and some MMCs will sound
better with a harder (lower) resistance loading. The ECP 2 is therefore equipped with an optional 2,5k
Ohm loading on its MM input.
The input resistance (RL) for high output cartridges is set by adjusting the DIPswitch labeled MM RL 4.
DIP 5 is set in the OFF position to disables the low value resistor array - so the setting of DIP 6 - 7 - 8 -
9 becomes without importance. Se the top two lines in the table above.
