Description
This is a unicorn-rare, vintage 2-way crossover by Yamaha. The EC-2 is designed for the use and control of a passive sub in your system, but it's also useful if you don't want to fiddle with crossover settings at the back of your sub.The EC-2 was sold only in Japan, and it has the same heavy build as the matching C-2/C-2a/C-2x preamp and T-2 tuner. It's definitely a collector's item.
Since it's a Japan domestic market model, it runs on 100V and needs a step down transformer to operate in the US. It was shipped to me from Japan, and it did not look like it had seen much use. There isn't a ton of information available on the net (it's so rare that it's hard even to find any photos of it online) but I can include a copy of the Japanese manual FWIW.
This unit looks almost new (no visible scratches or marks anywhere), and of course it works perfectly. In my experience, the EC-2 easily integrates into your system (and looks great with a C-2/T-2 combo) without adding anything unwanted to the sound of your system (no distortion, coloration, etc). I have used this in my system for over a year without any issue.
