With the release of the 4-channel circular mixer euphonia, AlphaTheta ventures into the circular world.
Let’s take a look.
Major features
The euphonia weighs in at just under 21 lbs – notably lighter compared to Pioneer’s other mixers like the A9 ( almost 29 lbs ) and V10 ( 37 lbs ). A wide range of circular features and effects are available in the new mixing, including:
- Four circular faders have a new appearance and feel thanks to the addition of maximum weighting and elastomer to the outside of each knob, which DJs will notice when they turn the knobs at various speeds.
- The digital signal processor ( DSP) employs HQ 32-bit A/D and D/A converters in addition to 96 kHz/64-bit floating point mixing operations. The sound finally travels through a converter circuit created in collaboration with Rupert Neve Designs, a business renowned for its digital audio circuitry.
- The three handles on the top remaining of the blender are located on the 3Band Master Isolator. The handles are set to be located in the center, and they can become turned left or right until they reach a minimum or maximum. This is somewhat an interesting selection on AlphaTheta’s element because the knobs are set at 12: 00, which is standard with their other mixers. It seems odd that they would stick to that style of construction, especially since so many rotaries have a full-range Extraversion that start all the way to the left ( a theme that also emerged with the V10’s filter knob ). I would’ve expected the company’s primary circular blender to get built more in-line with rotaries on the market now. You can also utilize three boost levels: + 12dB for dynamic performances, + 6dB for sound quality adjustments, and 0dB for reverb effects that wo n’t affect the volume at all.
- The Energy Visualizer and a fresh Mix Level Meter, which were created especially for euphonia, are directly to the right of the isolators, giving you a needle for each channel to make it easier to track your stirring and size ranges.
- 5 built-in Send FX and a High-Pass Filter– including Delay, Tape Echo, Echo Verb, Reverb, and Shimmer. Additionally, DJs can connect additional effect units and change each route to their liking, using the Send/Return knobs. Additionally, any Send FX may be pushed into the Master Isolator speed songs.
- Inputs – 4x digital ins ( coaxial ), 4x line ins (RCA ), 4x phono ins (RCA ), and a Mic in (XLR & 1/4 ″ TRS jack )
- Outputs – 1 each of the Master, Booth, and Recording outputs, as well as two headphone jacks ( a 1/4 ″ and a 3.5mm )
- Built-in USB Type-C voice program for PC/Mac
- 2-Band Booth EQ
- Lock energy cord
- Rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro agreeable with both
A$ 3, 799 Pricetag
Although the$ 3, 799 price tag for the euphonia comes with a sticker surprise, especially given the state of the economy, the ongoing discussion about how the music industry is struggling in a number of sites, and the truth that this is the first full rotary mixing produced by the once-lovely-known as Pirates DJ, AlphaTheta product. When compared to other well-known rotary mixer manufacturers like Star, who unveiled their$ 599.99 R4 mixing at NAMM earlier this year, which plainly was priced with a more affordable perspective in mind, the price trend is interesting.
When you’re considering dropping$ 3.8k on a blender from the company – one more costly than Pioneer DJ’s DJM-V10, which costs$ 3, 499 – we’re curious to see how much of an allure this will have to rotary-loving Dj and equipment fans. It’s a prime mixing at a price that is unquestionably high.
AlphaTheta’s euphonia is expected to be accessible in-store later this month for$ 3, 799. What do you think of the mixing? Do you get it? What do you like best about it, and what could be improved or changed? In the feedback section below, let us know.
