In order to guarantee the optimum operation of this unit, we strongly recommend that its 

maintenance be carried out by our Authorised Technical Services. 
 
1.1. Safety Precautions

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.
