  • Consumer Electronics Control – Files used in certain audio and electronic devices (for example, on the Casiotone MT-4000 or Yamaha Pro Style Keyboard) to hold control data such as custom equalizer settings or operational instructions.
  • FilExt.com note: This dual usage means the same CEC extension can refer to a data or configuration file depending on its source. Understanding the origin assists in determining the correct software or procedure to open and view the file.
