Terminating the 
EF2211/EF2210
The EF2211/EF2210 is self-terminating so its EF Bus does NOT need to be termi-
nated.  However, if you are linking the EF2211/EF2210 to EF2280s, terminate the EF 
Bus link.

The following is a list of the factory default settings of the EF2211/EF2210.  Since the 
microphone and other equipment in your application may have different nominal lev-
els, you can start with a F
ACTORY PRESET (Presets 0-15), change it to match your 
environment and then save it within the EF2211/EF2210 as a U
SER PRESET (Presets 
16-47).  Once you’ve saved a U
SER PRESET, set the POWER ON PRESET to that USER 
Figure 5. Only the EF2280 needs to be terminated when linked together with 
EF2211/EF2210s.
