    • Warranty card. 3. WARM4 and ECLER HISTORY Although the origins of the company date from 1965, ECLER presented its first mixer back in the 70s: the A4, a simple 4 channel mixer oriented to Super 8 film sound edition. The company grew in the 70s with the boom of disco and tourism.

  • Page 7: Description & Features

    WARM4 is a professional four channel analogue rotary DJ mixer, designed and manufactured by ECLER in Barcelona. Featuring 4 phono/line channels, 2 MIC inputs, classic sharp filters and a 4th order Isolator. WARM4 includes an unique feature, an Analogue Subharmonic Synthesizer selectable per channel, specially designed to generate and reinforce ultra-low frequencies.

    6. SETUP WARM4 is conceived as club mixer to be placed between turntables or digital players. We recommend to place it in a comfortable position for the end user, without placing it in direct contact with the turntables to avoid transmitting shocks and vibrations during use.
  • Page 11: Line Inputs

    Low impedance (200 to 600 ohm) monophonic microphones must be used. For non balanced microphones we recommend monophonic jack plugs although stereo ones are also suitable if the ring is short-circuited to the sleeve. The WARM4 includes 18V Phantom power for condenser microphones. An internal jumper allows disabling the phantom power.

    6.2.2 BOOTH Output Commonly used as an independent local "Booth" output for the DJ. This stereo BOOTH has balanced XLR3 (43) and unbalanced RCA (44) connections and its level is set at 0dBV (1Vrms) but can be changed to +12dBV (4Vrms) through internal dip-switch (look at Configuration Diagram).

    7. QUICK START Install and connect the WARM4 mixer as described in Setup chapter. This Quick Start guide explains a simple procedure to route and headphone monitoring a turntable. 1. Set the controllers to their initial position Set Channel 1 TRIM, HIGH, MID and BASS (3, 4, 5 and 6) rotary controls to their central position.
  • Page 14 Adjust the input level Move the TRIM (3) control until the VU-meter shows 0dB. Send the signal to the HOUSE Rotate the channel 1 potentiometer (13) clockwise at its maximum. Monitor the output with your headphones Adjust the VOLUME controller (29) to obtain a comfortable monitoring volume. Now you should hear music with your headphones.

    (1) indicator will be lit in green. Even if the typical bump noise of audio devices during the start- up is minimized in the WARM4 thanks to the internal anti-bump circuits, it is always recommendable to turn on the devices using the following sequence:...
  • Page 16: Isolator

    NOT using it live. Use equalization and isolator carefully; by boosting too much the low frequency range, you can induce an excessive displacement of the loudspeakers membrane. Ecler is not liable for any failure of third-party devices due to improper use of this functionality.
  • Page 17 Larry Levan was the best conductor of the Paradise Garage orchestra, and Ecler want to dedicate WARM4 to him, adding a very powerful feature that was part of the Paradise Garage sound system under the control of the DJ, and that has never been included in a DJ mixer before: the Analogue Subharmonic Synthesizer.
  • Page 18: Monitoring System

    The combined use of Isolator and subharmonic synthesizer, if not used properly, can be very dangerous for the loudspeakers. Ecler is not liable for any failure of third-party devices due to improper use of this functionality.
  • Page 19: Sending To External Effects Units Fx Send/Return

    This signal send can be configured either PRE or POST fader with the PRE/POST toggle switch (8). 8.2.8 Potentiometers The WARM4 is equipped with original Japanese ALPS blue velvet and RK09L metal shaft potentiometers that offer extremely soft and smooth transitions both for channels and isolator controls.
  • Page 20: Further Considerations

    The use of active circuitry can yield, depending on the configuration, to a significant noise level. The WARM4 have been specifically designed with a very reduced noise figure. Anyway, the noise level will always depend by the correct use and installation of the mixer and by the correct gain chain.
