ROTARY 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 intui-

tive 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.
