Ecler Sclat 8

Table 19-inch rack, 6u height.
Connections XLR output, coupled rca and xlr mic inputs.
Otherwise, the rest is rca.
Everything depends on the version, I have both a DJ is typed with an insert send-return effect ext. masters and two more independent assignable crossfader, the other version is typical instruments with two departures, insertion effect ext., and two independent masters.
The equalizer is triple by more gain.
Available with optional remote controls on each slice, allowing readers start the fader of the slice selected.

UTILIZATION

The setup is fantastic because unlimited depending on the choice of the owner!
The manual is very detailed, it explains all of the functions and fixtures.
All functions are accessible almost intuitively, but the program mode is particular and little used ... (Cue 'pre' slices mixed before final module).
Talk-over fantastic, fully adjustable time and mitigation.
It even has a second headphone output.
It lacks a meter per channel for the perfect set.

SOUNDS

The test is really surprising transparency preamps micro ring, and corrections are very effective.
When vocal performances, there is no return on presets quickly.
The talk-over function is forgotten djs, and super interesting for speech animation games, birthdays, and presentation of documents or events that can be performed with a single micro hf autonomously using this feature! ECLER thank you!
The blast is low, no discomfort to deplore that side.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for quite some time, bought 18,000 francs at the time, and I had several other brands which recently PIONEER DJM 3000 in four copies, quickly sold after a few technical problems ...
I also have two other ECLER MIDRI MIX 3/2 to mix vinyl, super reliable and robust equipment ...
Modularity is a perfect product, allowing customization by using selected wish.
Super important: no irreparable surface components so we can fix anything on these models, even slices and box are customizable with paint when they are damaged, I did two of the other 4 that I bought in the status of a former nightclub, well-worn in 15 years of non-stop service, refurbished since!
I regret just one meter per useful for accurate mix, this is my only regret.
if it were to do again, I would sign his head down again.
In terms of price / quality ratio, I think it is more than anything else because no failure to date, and replacement of worn potentiometers time is normally easy to do, parts still available for the moment in ALPHA and SPLA.
A big THANK YOU for this manufacturer.

The SCLAT 8 is 19 "rack mount.

Mine is equipped mainly modular type slices 822a to balanced XLR mic and line switchable RCA.

8 channels + 1 return to the stereo.
2 departures from the post-fader on each slice.
My master module has a master XLR balanced or (and RCA) and a second master on RCA.

The principle of modularity is simply awesome.
Master the right, left or center-based die see ... You choose!
The pannel connectors can be positioned either on the rear or from below if the table is found in rackée studio furniture.

It is difficult to find fault with him on this point of view.


UTILIZATION


Theoretically, this table is configurable thanks to the riders position on maps slices but not the manual, difficult to hear or see the changes without knowing what result must be found.

If a seller offers you the instructions, take this without hesitation!

Ecler could not provide me.

Side "his" and technical knobs ALPS almost indestructible.
It's super flexible and linear but you can also choose to replace them with why-not logarithmic.
Anyway, in case of replacement, nothing more quickly with removable brackets.
The table can even remain in office or almost.

The pieces are very standardized so findable everywhere at any electronics retailer.

SOUNDS

The pre-amp is powerful. Very good output level symmetrical.
Relatively low background noise thanks to the power supply which, however remote, can cause some trouble locating a narrow board. Will the plan for when buying for fear of being trapped in the installation but it may very well be put out for the worst.

The EQUASIS are sharp (almost too much for my taste). An adjustment period may be needed depending on what you usually mix.

In any case, nothing more basic to use as table type.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it only for 1 year

Of course, I would have something to blame because of his "hit" but it would not affect the quality of the product itself. It is more used to my old table on which I mixed for 10 years leaves more or less good habits or bad.

Body side ... it's cut in the ground.
Will get up early before folding over something.
Even a scratch is difficult.

In short, it's sturdy built to last on ALL plans!

I will not put a note that fail maximum objectivity and because nothing is perfect but it is not far.

If it all over again: YES on the reliability plan.
