4. WARM2 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.
It was the era of the AM 4 and AC 4, the first mixers tailored to DJ s. The AC 4 was a
high fidelity mixer designed to meet the most demanding sound requirements in
discos, theatres, cinemas, recording studios, conference rooms… The electronic
circuits and the extreme selection of all components and transistors used, made the
AC 4 a professional high quality mixer.
Milestones as SCLAT modular mixers, MAC Series High Standard Club mixers, AC-6
High-End Installation mixer (recognize as a legendary mixer by Hispasonic), the HAK
Series battle mixers Designed and manufactured with expert consultation from DMC
and ITF champions all over the world, or the award-winning Eternal contactless
magnetic crossfader are Ecler constant innovation examples.
Ecler DJ Division Pro Team selected artists with a diverse and deep music background
to share its inputs looking for the perfect mixing devices. From minimal to deep
house, from techno to hip hop, from breaks to electro… all of them share our passion
for music and technology. Dj’s like Michael Mayer, Pastaboys, Luciano, Antoine
Clamaran, Funk D’Void, Dj Hell, Ricardo Villalobos, Savas Pascalidis (to name a few).
When it comes to gear, they need the maximum quality, reliability and tools to
express their creativity.
Ecler mixers was installed in prestigious clubs worldwide, such as Pacha (Marrakech)
or Café del Mar (Ibiza).
After 13 years hiatus, Ecler release a new top notch mixer:
WARM2 Warehouse analogue rotary mixer!

WARM2 was inspired by The Warehouse in Chicago, a place where many consider the
cradle of House Music back in 1977. This place ignited the spark that eventually
became the House Music scene we love and admire today.
Back in the days, Frankie Knuckles, the godfather of House Music and The Warehouse
first musical director, was reconstructing the soul and disco existing songs, by
changing the tempo and layering different bits of percussion over them. These
alterations transformed the dancefloor forever.
Rotary mixers have an special feel, creating a smoother and subtler transitions.
Legendary Djs like J oe Clausell, Louie Vega and more recently Floating Points or
Motorcity Drum Ensemble are top class users of these particular devices.
With WARM2, you’ll be able to get Ecler's design expertise at your fingertips, its
unquestionable audio quality, and the “ Alps Blue Velvet” potentiometers precision for
the perfect mix. The 4th order inbuilt isolator, will definitely expand your performance
possibilities by removing frequencies, infusing drama in an acapella track, enhancing
musical riffs or creating a tremolo effect by rapidly twisting the knobs.
With a width of 18.5 centimetres, WARM2 is the narrowest rotary mixer on the
market. Despite this, it includes interesting features such as: 3-band EQ + Trim, FX
Send control and Pre/Post fader selector, and an excellent dynamic and headroom
range. WARM2 provides the best analogue sound for your dancefloor in a portable
format.

7. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Warm2 is conceived as a portable desktop mixer with a small form factor and
optimized to be placed between two turntables or two 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 to
the styluses during use.
Because of the high gain of the PHONO and MICRO inputs, always try to place the
mixer as far away as possible from noise sources (dimmers, engines, etc.) and mains
wires.
The WARM2 operates with a universal input power supply and can perfectly works
without any internal modification from 90V to 264V –47 to 63Hz. Ensure that the
mains-wire is far away from the signal-cables in order to avoid any possible audio
hum.
In order to protect the unit from an eventual electrical overload it carries a T 0.5A
fuse. Should it ever blow up, unplug the unit from mains and replace it with an
identical one. If the new fuse blows again contact immediately with our authorized
technical service.
ATTENTION: NEVER SHORT-CIRCUIT THE SECURITY PATH NOR USE A HIGHER
VALUE FUSE.
CAUTION: Fuse substitutions have to be performed by a qualified technician.
