1. IMPORTANT REMARK

Congratulations! You are the owner of a carefully designed and manufactured
equipment. We thank you for having purchased our SMAC series mixer.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you read this manual before connecting the mixer in
order to obtain its maximum performance.
We recommend our authorised Technical Services whenever any maintenance task
should be needed so that optimum operation shall be achieved.

2. INTRODUCTION

The SMAC series is a new and revolutionary mixer concept, designed by and for
PROFESSIONAL DJs, with ECLER's state of the art performance and roughness.
In the SMAC PRO20, ECLER has done what for years seemed impossible: a mixer with
only 14 cm of width with 3 mixable channels and 6 inputs: 2 PHONOS, 2 CDs, 1 LINE, 1
MICROPHONE BAL (stereo jack). Its height and depth have been designed to match those of the
world "standards" in CD players and analog vinyl turntables.
Its new ergonomical design can be seen in the form and distribution of the controls
and connections. The SMACs are specially adapted to the latest trends in mixing, manipulation
and audio signal processing. All this by using our own carefully selected components, in order to
insure a sound quality matching digital sources of the highest level.
The tilted position of the main faders, a new design for the fader buttons and the
placement of the CUT/PUSH buttons help for some natural body movements and, of course,
faster and securer manipulations.
The operating life of the corssfader has been extended up to more than 300,000
operations (30 times more than a high quality mechanical crossfader) thanks to the addition of
an Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA). The VCA has also made possible the implementation of
a special transfer curve designed under DJ's considerations.
The SMAC PRO20 has 3 mixable channels, with 5 stereo inputs: 2 PHONO, 2 CD
(compact disc) and 1 LINE, plus an extra microphone input.
All channels have an input lever switch selector and 3-band tone controls (2-band in
microphone and line input).
All inputs offer the PFL function in order to monitor any input signal, either visually
(through the VU Meter) or acoustically (with headphones).
