Features Important to DJs
• Universal internal power supply. When traveling, finding
power supply adapters is difficult. The Empath accepts 100
to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power, for use anywhere in the world
without adapters.
• Auto-Gain prevents performance-wrecking swings in pro-
gram level when changing sources. The music is never too soft
or clipped.
• FlexFX™ is a post-fader external stereo effects loop with indi-
vidual Dry/Wet pan controls for Inputs 1, 2, 3 and the Mic.
• Penny & Giles™ faders are simply the best money can buy.
Smooth, accurate and reliable mixing is made possible by
employing the most respected name in audio faders.
• Two kinds of fader caps are provided for different mixing
preferences: soft rubber caps for smooth mixing, and hard
plastic caps for fast mixing.
• Flash-Cue allows the DJ to rapidly select Crossfader A-Cue-
sum or Crossfader B-Cue-sum with the flick of a switch,
normally slow or complicated on other mixers.
• Multiple Outputs. Nothing is more frustrating than arriving
at a club and finding their jacks don't match. Systems may have
XLR, TRS or RCA connectors. The Empath provides all 3.
• Low and High headphone tone controls allow the DJ to
match their mixer to their headphones.
• Both ¼" and 3.5mm headphone jacks are simultaneously
usable. More headphones are compatible with the Empath.
• Two assignable CD triggers work with any CD player with
fader start ability.
• Accelerated-Slope™, full-cut, 3-band tone controls are the
most flexible and highest quality available.
• Crossfader assign switches allow any Input Channel to be
mixed on the A-side, B-side or Post Crossfader.
• Level meters view Stereo Cue, Stereo Master Mix, Split Cue
or Main Output signals.
