2. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations for acquiring a genuine, professional ECLER device! The EVO5 is the latest design from ECLER, a
legendary company from Barcelona with over 42 years of experience in designing and manufacturing professional
audio equipment.
The EVO5 is a perfect tool for today’s DJs and producers thanks to its unique combination of a 12 channel firewire
soundcard, the highest digital audio quality with 24 bits and 96 KHz, MIDI Control, full colour display and a
completely programmable effects processor.
This genuine mixer uses the best available components and 24 bit A/D and D/A converters in order to obtain the
best sound quality. Due to the over 40 years of experience in designing professional audio equipment, the circuits
are very efficient and the digital sound has the same warmness as any analogue device. All circuits are
manufactured and tested in our factory in Barcelona.
The internal soundcard has 12 input and 12 output channels. All of them have low latency thanks to the usage of
firewire technology. A single cable allows transmission and reception of all these audio channels and all the MIDI
Control data. This compact card turns the EVO5 into an ideal sound desk for music production, live acts and the
most advanced DJ sessions, which combine the traditional vinyl, CD players and avant-garde software as LIVE or
TRAKTOR.
The effects unit has a crystal clear sound due to the standard quality of 24 bits and 96 KHz. All effects can be
completely programmed. There are 9 basic effects that can edited according to the user’s needs and it is also
possible to create new effects by chaining two different basic effects and programming them as wanted. Up to 64
different effects can be created and saved. The external software “EVO5 Librarian” also lets you import and export
your effects configurations using a computer. This lets you exchange your sounds with other artists.
The MIDI control is nearly unlimited thanks to the 69 controllers and the 64 available parameter patterns. The
EVO5 wears a MIDI control section with 6 push buttons and 4 encoders which can be rotated and pressed. The full
colour display allows creating and viewing labels that allow you to know which function is executed by which
controller in each moment. The channel controllers can be individually set up to send MIDI data or to work as audio
controllers. The external software “EVO5 Librarian” also lets you import and export MIDI configurations.
The mixer’s display is unique in its class and converts the EVO5 into the world’s first mixer that offers such a
feature. This high quality display with 320 x 240 pixels raises the flexibility, since it is possible to edit all of the
mixer’s parameters in real-time. Using the display you can adjust all of the mixer’s functions as, for example, the
tone controls, the input and output sensitivities, the fader and crossfader curves, the MIDI controls, the BPM
counter … even the output limiter that has been installed to tranquilize the sound technicians and engineers!
Finally, this unique mixer has been designed by GIUGIARO DESIGN, one of the world’s most prestigious
companies in product design and prize awarded as the best car designer of the 20th century. With this design,
GIUGIARO has been looking for a perfect harmony between the well-known and plain ECLER design and the
innovation of such a revolutionary product as the EVO5.
