Instrucións de funcionamento

Basic Mixing

1. Encendido: 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. Selección de entrada: For each channel, select the appropriate input source (PHONO, LINE, or MIC) using the selector switch.
3. Gaña 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. Ecualización (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. Volume da canle: Use the large rotary volume knob for each channel to control its output level into the mix.
6. Volume principal: 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.

Using the FX Send/Return

To integrate an external effects unit:

• Connect your FX unit as described in the Setup section.
• For each channel, select PRE or POST FX SEND. PRE sends the signal before the channel volume, POST sends it after.
• Adjust the SEND FX knob for each channel to control the amount of signal sent to the external FX unit.
• The processed signal from the FX unit will return via the FX RETURN. Adjust the FX RETURN knob in the master section to blend the effect into your main mix.

Sintetizador subharmónico analóxico

Figure 4: Subharmonic Synthesizer Controls. This image shows the FREQUENCY and LEVEL knobs for the subharmonic synthesizer, located near the master volume controls.

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.

Mantemento

• Limpeza: Always disconnect the mixer from the power supply before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Almacenamento: When not in use for extended periods, store the mixer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive dust. It is recommended to use the original packaging for storage and transport.
• Ventilación: Ensure that the ventilation openings are always clear of obstructions to prevent overheating.
