About Elara.4
Despite its compact dimensions, elara.4 has a fully - featured channel strip, with auxiliary send
(selectable pre or post fader), channel level trim, a responsive 3 band Equaliser with - 20dB
a enua on/+6dB of gain, and a high - pass filter with auto - variable Q, whereby Q rises with the cut - off
frequency to give the classic filter sound without the danger of excessively boos ng low frequencies.
Elara.4’s channels 1 and 2 are switchable RIAA/LINE, while channels 3 and 4 are switchable Line/Line.
Each channel has a 10 LED meter and a high quality TKD conduc ve plas c fader with a weighted feel,
for precise mixing. The elara.4 also features an Innofader crossfader with variable contour, and per
channel selectable rou ng via a toggle switch.
A comprehensive Cue system offers per channel pre - fader monitoring, split - cue and add - mix controls.
With all Cues off, the headphone monitor defaults to mix, with the stereo 10 LED VU meter showing
pre
- Master mix buss level. Selec ng any Cue automa cally switches the Main VU to show the channel
pre - fader level, or channel pre - fader and Mix when the split control is ac ve.
Unique to the elara.4 is the master EQ/isolator with variable crossover control, designed to
complement the channel EQ and allowing for some highly crea ve sound sculpturing. The Isolator has
a fixed “Q” of 1 and can be swept from 150Hz to 1kHz (Low
- Mid crossover point), with full kill or a safe
+6dB of boost.
Elara’s other features include Balanced XLR main mix, Booth and Aux Outputs on ¼” TRS Jacks, record
output on RCA, and switchable Aux Return or Master Insert for full FX or Outboard integra on.
The build quality is exemplary, with an anodised and silkscreened front panel, machined from 5083
aluminium tooling plate, high quality aluminium control knobs, a rugged 1.2mm Zintec chassis, and
extensive use of Alps poten ometers and switches throughout. Internally the mixer is fully modular
with all PCBs mounted 90ᵒ to the front panel to prevent pooling in the event of a liquid spill and
minimise audio crosstalk.
