«  Seductive ... BUT THE FINISH DOUBTFUL »

Value For Money : Excellent
I went back to scratches lately, I had the opportunity to buy cheaply the famous E-CLER HAK 360, a table which I had heard many positive but I never had the opportunity to thoroughly test ... this is now done.

At first glance, this is a pretty solid top, larger and heavier than most other mixers. To make a fast turn at the main features is quite extensive and even more than complete with respect to other tables with entries LINE / PHONO / MIX / SESSION / EFFECT / REC RCA, 4 outputs including 2 RCA and 2 XLR mic input, headphone jack. Eternal Cross Fader from E-cler, both faders and their respective settings curve on the side a bit like the Vestax PMC 07 at.
Finally, from an aesthetic point of view it's pretty simple with her black dress and gray façade metal pots in platiques

UTILIZATION

In terms of use, this is where it catches a little. Compared to other tables, the layout of knobs and their assigned function is a little mess and it will take time to adjust especially if you have been accustomed to mix with the knobs tables placed vertically, j 'not even imagine what that little give in the dark (I think equalizer) in any case I have yet not find the logic in E-CLER available except for "nothing like everyone else" !

It's a bit the same for adjusting the crossfader curve that has a design flaw because it is reversed (at least on some versions including mine) and I took some time to find the right setting curve! For Faders is less complicated at the same time, they use less especially scratch. Let's talk about the famous Eternal Cross Fader! Liquidity levels at nothing to say it's going 200 miles an hour, it feels good that it's solid, I would have preferred just a little thicker buttons but hey it's a matter of taste. Against by opening the cross is slightly longer than the other tables, we can see the scale is missing a line before closing, at first I felt like having a cross ultrafast whose opening was not levels of fluidity, with the setting that has improved a bit but hey it gives me a feeling of discomfort. I did check my cross but it was nikel ... maybe a design flaw .. will know!

SOUNDS

The levels of sound quality, I have not found levels of its concurentes I feel back on good old Vestax PMC 05 PRO II, ie a sound slightly noisy, not clear enough on certain frequencies, especially if you mix old LP, the equalizer is not necessarily the same penchant accurate. For mixing or Serato CD is much better. From a general point of view, the amplification is insufficient for my taste, it does not strike enough! Especially in Hip Hop where it can quickly saturate it or blow a bit when you push the sound and I am not an old model!

OVERALL OPINION

In the end, I kept one month because the mayonnaise did not unfortunately and it's disappointment that dominates! With ergonomics and rather dubious finish some defect at the cross, we clearly feel at E-CLER Inover and Differentiation is not a good mix. At the same it is clearly below its main rival (Vestax Pro 07, Pioneer DJM). Nine I did not really understand the price even at the time aside to take a less conventional mark, used 200euros it seems more reasonable. This is a bit harsh as much attention to finding the DJ appreciateany much but is a range of a little table top and so obviously it suffers in comparison, in the lower range (Vestax PMC 05 Pro III, Numark DXM Pro or other) is clearly match! Anyway, if like me you do not have your habits in E-CLER, test there long before you buy!
