Terminating the
EF2280
The EF2280 with the stacked audio connectors is self-terminating so if you are con-
necting multiple EF2280s, the EF Bus does NOT need to be terminated. EF2280 with
the inline audio connectors are not self-terminating and require external audio termi-
nators.

The following is a list of the factory default settings of the EF2280. Since the
microphones and other equipment in your application may have different
nominal levels, you can start with a F
ACTORY PRESET (Presets 0-15), change it
to match your environment and then save it within the EF2280 as a U
SER PRE-
SET (Presets 16-47). Once you’ve saved a USER PRESET, set the POWER ON PRE-
Figure 7. Legacy Vortex EF2280 products (SKU: 2200-82280-xyz) require an EF
Bus terminator when linked at either end of a Vortex chain. EF2280’s that have
their audio input and output connectors stacked (2200-12280-xyz) have a built-in
terminator and do not need an external terminator when linked together.
