Important Remark; Introduction; Installation; Placement And Mounting - Ecler MAC70i Notice D'emploi

1. IMPORTANT REMARK

Congratulations! You are the owner of a carefully designed and manufactured equipment.
We thank you for trusting on us and choosing our mixer MAC70i.
In order to obtain the maximum performance of this unit, It is VERY IMPORTANT that you
read this manual before connecting the mixer.
We recommend our authorised Technical Services if any maintenance task should be
needed so that optimum operation shall be achieved.

2. INTRODUCTION

The MAC70i mixer is designed for its use in discotheques, ballrooms, bars, disco bars and
external p.a. applications.
The MAC70i has 7 mixable channels, with 10 stereo inputs: 3 PHONO, 3 CD (compact
disc), 3 LINE and an AUXiliar; plus 3 more inputs for balanced microphones.
All channels have a lever switcher input selector, independent gain control for each input,
as well as 3-band tone controls. The MAC70i also has a removable, externally exchangeable
CROSSFADER, assignable to channels 3,5 and 4,6 for an easier DJ mixing.
All inputs are PFL-capable in order to visually (through the VU meters) and acoustically
(through headphones) monitor any signal connected to the unit's inputs.
The MAC70i has a seventh auxiliar input, AUX INPUT, to which you can connect any
signal source or effect unit that generates line levels (see 3.2.). This seventh channel is only different
form the other channels in that it doesn't have any input selector and the potentiometer is a rotary
knob instead of a sliding fader.
In the MAC70i, we have cared specially about the roughness, long-time response and
maximum adaptability to the DJ needs, getting a total ease of operation.

3. INSTALLATION

3.1. Placement and mounting

The first thing to take into account when looking for the placement of the MAC70i is your
comfort and an easy access to all the connections.
The MAC70i has 19" (482.6 mm), 7U (310.5 mm) rack mounting ears that allow you to
place it in a standard rack.
In case you want to install it into a table or a base you should make a hole of 445x300mm.
Keep in mind that all the connections are made on the back panel, so enough space must be
provided for the connection. The thickness of the table or base must not be larger than 20 mm, else
there would not be any physical space left for the connections.
Because of the high gain of the PHONO and MIC inputs, the mixer must be placed as far
as possible from noise sources (dimmers, engines, etc.) as well as from any mains cable. You
should never, under any circumstance, remove the metallic cover of the mixer.
The MAC70i, being a low consumption unit, does not need any cooling; you should
anyway avoid exposure to extreme temperatures and the operating environment must be as dry and
dust free as possible.
