2. INTRODUCTION

With the AC-6, ECLER comes back to the historical AC series. In 1974, the AC-4 set the
precedents to what later on would become the club mixer with sliding faders.
During many years, the AC-4 has been praised as one of the best sounding mixers that ECLER
has ever launched during its long career. The AC-6 gathers the AC-4's "essence" adding the latest
mixing technology advancements, turning this unit into an unrivalled mixer.
The AC-6 has 6 mixable channels, i.e. 6 channels with conventional sliding fader plus one special
channel for the effect return with rotary potentiometer, which can be used to input normal line-level signals
from any source. It features 20 stereo inputs: 4 PHONO, 6 CD (high line level for compact disc, DAT, MP3
players), 6 LINE, 1 AUX RETURN, 1 MIX; plus 2 more MICRO inputs for balanced microphones.
All channels have a lever switch input selector, independent gain control and 3-band tone
controls. The AC-6 incorporates an XFADER potentiometer, assignable to any input using a lever switch.
All inputs are PFL-capable in order to visually (through the VU meters) and acoustically (through
headphones) monitor any signal connected to the inputs of the unit.
In the AC-6, we have cared specially about the roughness, long-time response and maximum
adaptability to the DJ needs, getting a total ease of operation.
