EMPATH

DJ MIXER

Introduction

The Empath 10" format mixer offers big-board features and studio quality sound. The mixer is feature packed, yet easy and

intuitive to use. How did we pull it off? We asked the master — Grandmaster Flash is responsible for many of the important
features and control locations, even the name. “Empath” implies understanding, insight and feeling. When you use the mixer,
you’ll get it. The Empath mixer is designed for professional applications: large club, broadcast, competition, remix, live sound.
The Empath offers a combination of features, compact size and quality presently unavailable at any price.
