  3. Подключение питания:
    • Убедитесь, что выключатель питания на задней панели находится в положении ВЫКЛ.
    • Connect the supplied power cable to the MAINS INPUT on the rear panel and then to a suitable AC power outlet.
  4. Подключение источников звука:
    • Connect your turntables to the PHONO inputs (RCA) and attach the ground wire to the GND terminal for each channel.
    • Connect CDJs, media players, or other line-level devices to the LINE inputs (RCA).
    • For microphone input, connect your microphone to the MIC input (XLR) on Channel 4.
  5. Подключение выходов:

  7. Наушники: Plug your headphones into the 1/4" jack on the front panel.

Инструкция по эксплуатации

Базовое смешивание

  1. Включение питания: After all connections are made, switch on your audio sources, then your amplifiers/speakers, and finally the Ecler WARM4 mixer using the rear panel power switch.
  2. Выбор входа: For each channel, select the appropriate input source (PHONO, LINE, or MIC) using the selector switch.
  3. Усиление Staging (TRIM): Play a track on your source. Engage the PFL switch for that channel. Adjust the TRIM knob until the channel's level meter reaches around 0dB, occasionally peaking into the yellow, but avoiding constant red clipping.
  4. Эквалайзер (EQ): Use the HIGH, MID, and BASS rotary knobs to shape the sound of each channel. These EQs offer full kill capability when turned fully counter-clockwise.
  5. Громкость канала: Use the large rotary volume knob for each channel to control its output level into the mix.
  6. Общий объем: Adjust the HOUSE (main output) and BOOTH (monitor output) levels using their respective knobs in the master section.
  7. Headphone Monitoring (PFL/MIX):
    • Press the PFL switch on any channel to listen to that channel in your headphones before it goes to the master mix.
    • Use the PFL/MIX knob in the master section to blend between the PFL signal and the main mix in your headphones.
    • Adjust the HEADPHONE VOLUME knob for comfortable listening.

Using the Isolator

Figure 3: Isolator Controls. This image provides a detailed view of the large rotary knobs for Bass, Mid, and High frequencies in the isolator section.

The 3-band isolator allows for precise and dramatic frequency cuts or boosts across the entire mix. Turn the BASS, MID, and HIGH knobs to manipulate the respective frequency ranges. Turning them fully counter-clockwise will completely cut that frequency band.

The built-in subharmonic synthesizer adds powerful, deep bass frequencies to your mix. Engage the ON switch to activate it. Use the FREQUENCY knob to select the desired sub-bass frequency range and the LEVEL knob to control the intensity of the added subharmonics.
