Compact size, exceptional performance, and advanced features
The Rane Empath is an extremely versatile 3-channel, 10" format DJ mixer. Durable Lexan top plate. Universal internal power supply accepts 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60Hz power, for use anywhere in the world without adapters. Auto-gain prevents performance-wrecking swings in program level when changing sources. The music is never too soft or clipped. FlexFX is a post-fader external stereo effects loop with individual dry/wet pan controls for mic and input channels 1, 2, and 3.
Smooth, accurate and reliable mixing is facilitated by the most respected name in audio faders, Penny & Giles. Two kinds of fader caps are provided for different mixing preferences: soft rubber caps for smooth mixing and hard plastic caps for fast mixing. Flash-Cue allows the DJ to rapidly select Crossfader A-Cue-sum or Crossfader B-Cue-sum with the flick of a switch, a normally slow and complicated operation on other mixers.
The Empath provides XLR, TRS, and RCA connectors, so you never have to experience the frustration of arriving at a club and finding that their jacks don't match your board. Low and high headphone tone controls allow DJs to match their mixer to their headphones. Both 1/8" and 1/4" headphone jacks are usable simultaneously.
Two assignable CD triggers work with any CD player with fader-start ability. Accelerated-slope, full-cut, 3-band tone controls are the most flexible and highest quality available. Crossfader assign switches allow any input channel to be mixed on the A-side, B-side, or post crossfader. Level meters show stereo cue, stereo master mix, split cue, or main output signals. The Auto-Gain circuit is a built-in 3:1 ratio compressor, keeping your levels consistent. All of these features are wrapped in the smallest, most portable chassis of any 3-channel mixer. Excellent control ergonomics allow this small package to feel as open and comfortable as much larger units.
