WARM4 and ECLER HISTORY Although the origins of the company date from 1965, ECLER launched its first mixer back in the 1970s: the A4, a simple 4 channel mixer oriented to Super 8 film sound edition. The company grew throughout the 70s with the boom of Disco music and the increase of 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 a unique feature: an Analogue Subharmonic Synthesizer selectable per channel and specially designed to generate and reinforce ultra-low frequencies.

    6. SETUP WARM4 is conceived as a club mixer to be placed between turntables or digital players. We recommend placing it in a comfortable position for the user and in no direct contact with the turntables in order to avoid the transfer of impacts and vibration 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 (check the configuration diagram).

Send the signal to the HOUSE output Rotate the channel 1 potentiometer (13) clockwise to its maximum level. Monitor output through your headphones Adjust the VOLUME controller (29) to obtain a comfortable monitoring volume. You should now be able to hear the music through your headphones.

    (1) indicator light will turn green. Even though the typical bump noise of audio devices when started is minimized in the WARM4, resulting from the internal anti-bump circuits, it is always recommended to turn devices on according to the following sequence:...
  • Page 16: Isolator

    Use both equalization and the Isolator with great care. By over-boosting the low frequency range, an excessive displacement of the loudspeakers’ membrane may occur. Ecler shall not be held liable for the 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 wants to dedicate the WARM4 model to him, adding a very powerful DJ-controlled feature, which was a component of the Paradise Garage sound system, and has never been included in a DJ mixer before: the Analogue Subharmonic Synthesizer.
  • Page 18: Monitoring System

    The combined use of the Isolator and the Subharmonic Synthesizer functions, if not done properly, can result in damage to the loudspeakers. Ecler will not be liable for the failure of third-party devices due to improper use of this functionality.
  • Page 19: Sending To External Effects Units Fx Send/Return

    8.2.7 Sending to external effects units FX Send/Return All 4 channels of WARM4 are equipped with rotating potentiometers (9) which allow for the signal to be sent to an external effects unit, sampler, etc. These potentiometers enable to accurately adjust the signal level sent from each channel.
  • Page 20: Further Considerations

    Depending on what the configuration is, the use of active circuitry can generate a significant noise level. The WARM4 has been specifically designed to include a very reduced noise figure. However, noise levels will always depend on the correct use and installation of the mixer, as well as on the correct gain chain.
