Page 5: Introduction
DJs. 3. INSTALLATION The first thing to take into consideration when placing your EVO4 is your comfort and an easy access to all the connections. The EVO4 is basically conceived as a tabletop mixer and its usual placement will be between two vinyls or CD players. - Page 6 Phono Turntables must be fitted with a magnetic cartridge with nominal output level between -60dBV and -20dBV (1 to 100mV). The PHONO inputs (38) of the EVO4 have a high headroom (margin before saturation) and it can handle higher output cartridges than what is usual. These inputs are supplied with a nominal input sensitivity of -40dBV (10mV).
- Page 7 A standard DIN 5 (180º) connector pin is used to establish a MIDI OUT connection. USB port The EVO4 includes a USB-MIDI interface that allows you to send MIDI signals from the mixer to a computer via USB. You can also use the USB port to update the equipment’s firmware.

Page 8: Quick Start
4. QUICK START For the following procedure you will need a CD player and headphones. 1. Set the controllers to their initial position Set the rotary controllers GAIN, HI, MID and LOW from channel 1 (17, 18, 19, 20) to the central snap-in position. Put the channel fader (23) down and move the A/OFF/B switch (22) to position A (this channel is now assigned to the crossfaders' A side). - Page 9 12. Select an effect "EFFECTS 1" The EVO4 includes two fully independent effect processors, EFFECTS 1 and EFFECTS 2. Both work the same way and contain the same number of effects. The processors may be assigned to the same or different channels. Start out by playing an effect using the EFFECTS 1 processor, located to the left of channel 1 on the mixer.

5. OPERATION AND USAGE 5.1. Start-up To start up the mixer, press the switch (52) on the back panel. The two BPM LEDs will light up. “EVO4 ECLER” will appear on the EFFECTS 2 screen and “LOADING” on the EFFECTS 1 screen. - Page 11 5.2.8. OUT 1 and OUT 2 output levels The EVO4 equips two main output controllers OUT 1 (31) and OUT 2 (30). The OUT 1 (45, 46, 47) level can be adjusted with the OUT 1 potentiometer while the OUT 2 controller adjusts the OUT 2 (48) level. Both can be monitored with the main VU-meter using the OUT1/MIX/OUT2 switch (27) and can also be edited with the L+R controller and the balance controller (BAL).

Page 13: Effects Processors
7.1. Using the effects processors The EVO4 comes with two powerful, BPM-synchronized effects processors, EFFECTS 1 and EFFECTS 2. Both processors work at 96 kHz and 24 bit, and each comes with the 18 different effects, the same number of controls, a BPM counter and an LCD, where you can see all of the information related to the effects. - Page 14 EFFECT encoder The EFFECT encoder (7) allows you to select an effect from the processor. When turning the EFFECT encoder, a menu with the different effects available appears on the screen. To choose one of the effects, turn the EFFECT encoder to highlight the option and select it by pushing on the encoder.
- Page 15 7.3. Effect descriptions HIGH PASS FILTER This is a high pass filter (HPF) that attenuates the parts of a signal that are lower in frequency. PARAM 1 regulates the filter’s resonance (RESO), and PARAM 2 controls its frequency (FREQ). This effect is static and does not use TIME controllers. LOW PASS FILTER This is a low pass filter (LPF) that attenuates the parts of a signal that are higher in frequency.
- Page 16 DELAY/ECHO This is a sound effect that consists of the repetition and modulated delay of a sound signal. Once the signal has been processed, it is mixed with the original, resulting in the classic sound echo effect. PARAM 1 regulates the FILTER, which allows you to attenuate the high or low-frequency ranges of the signal.
- Page 17 The sound samples are stored in the memory of the EVO4 and remain there even if you change effects; however, they are deleted when you turn off the mixer.
- Page 18 EXTERNAL FX This is a loop that outputs a signal to external effects devices through the FX SEND and RETURN connectors on the back panel of the mixer (42, 43). The EXTERNAL FX option can only be selected on one of the mixer’s banks. The signal sent is pre-fader.

Page 19: Midi Controllers
The MIDI OUT connector (49) sends all MIDI data generated by the EVO4 and is used to control devices with a DIN5 connection. It also permits the transfer of the EVO4’s MIDI CLOCK signal, if this option has been enabled. - Page 20 8.3. MIDI notes from the controllers The EVO4’s MIDI controllers send the following notes: CONTROL CHANNEL 1 CHANNEL 2 CHANNEL 3 CHANNEL 4 Value Value Value Value Gain 0-127 0-127 0-127 0-127 EQ High 0-127 0-127 0-127 0-127 EQ Mid...

The EVO4 transmits a continuous synchronization code, known as MIDI CLOCK, which allows you to synchronize one or more external MIDI devices. The MIDI CLOCK signal sent by the EVO4 is relative to the beats per minute (BPM) calculated by the selected internal BPM processor (EFFECTS 1 or EFFECTS 2). - Page 22 Please visit our homepage to download the latest version of the software. To update the firmware, connect the EVO4 to your computer with the USB cable. Then, run the update program and follow the instructions on the screen.
- Page 23 9.5 FX PFL MODE You can select if the effects pre-listening will be affected by the DRY/WET control or not. If you select the PRE DRY/WET option, the FX PFL signal will be the same that you would have when the DRY/WET control is in the WET position.

Page 24: Further Considerations
10. FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS 10.1. Ground loops Ensure at all times that no signal sources reaching the mixing desk and no devices connected to its output have their earths interconnected; that is, earth should never reach them via two or more different paths, as this could lead to humming which could even interfere with sound reproduction quality. -
