AlphaTheta Euphonia

Sound Revolution: The Rupert Neve Designs Transformation

With the Euphonia, a novel sound enters its stage, merging the boundaries between digital precision and analog warmth, a novelty in the realm of DJ mixers. The mixer dazzles with its extraordinary sound quality achieved through advanced 32-bit A/D and D/A converter technology and a 96 kHz/64-bit floating-point mixing processor. This technology, developed by AlphaTheta, enables the Euphonia to reproduce music with unprecedented clarity and depth of expression by drawing on years of experience in digital signal processing.

Sound Refinement: The Neve-AlphaTheta Innovation

Through a unique partnership between AlphaTheta and Rupert Neve Designs, a master in creating high-quality analog audio circuits and mixing consoles, cherished worldwide by music creators and sound engineers, the Euphonia acquires its incomparable sonic signature. A transformer circuit specially developed for the Euphonia imbues the music with vibrant harmonics, lending each mix a radiant energy.

This technique allows deep frequencies to be reproduced with more power and stability, midrange frequencies with increased presence and clarity, and high frequencies with a silky naturalness. This transformative approach melds classic and contemporary sonic worlds into a harmonious whole, facilitating mixing and conveying the sense that diverse musical styles seamlessly belong together.

Faders: One with the Music

Operating the faders on the Euphonia becomes an experience that's hard to tear away from. With the aim of making mixing as intuitive as possible, this mixer is equipped with innovative knobs that create a deeper connection between you and your music. These knobs have been perfected in size and texture after extensive research and numerous tests. They not only provide a comfortable and secure grip with a special elastomer coating but also effectively absorb vibrations, making mixing a seamless and authentic experience.

Revolutionary Fader Dynamics: Precision Meets Speed

The faders of the Euphonia stand out with a sophisticated mechanism that ensures a perfect balance between resistance and freedom of movement. The uniqueness lies in adjusting the resistance to the turning speed: slow turning increases the resistance for subtle adjustments, while faster turning reduces the resistance to quickly jump to the desired volume.

This intuitive adjustment of volume curves, refined through feedback from experienced DJs, allows you to control the levels with exceptional precision. This innovative fader technology allows you to fully unleash your musical expression, enriching not only your performance but also touching your audience in a new way.

Innovative Sound Visualizer: Insight into the Mix

Discover the Energy Visualizer of the Euphonia, which allows you to grasp the state of your mix and the balance of volumes at a glance. In contrast to conventional VU meters, which often have only one pointer and thus complicate the simultaneous monitoring of multiple channels, the Euphonia provides a separate needle gauge for each channel.

This feature makes it easier to visually monitor the levels of all channels and ensure smooth transitions between tracks without losing the rhythm. Furthermore, the integrated spectrum analyzer allows control over the balance of the master output, ensuring a smooth and coherent sound image over longer sets. By fine-tuning the output of the Euphonia, you can create and perfect your ideal sound.

Top-Class Master Isolator: Sensitivity Meets Precision

The 3Band Master Isolator of the Euphonia embodies the next generation of sound modulation by enabling intuitive control over the audio spectrum. The size of the isolator knobs is ideal for quick adjustments, whether from the neutral position to full scale or vice versa, while the torque is tuned to support both lightning-fast changes and subtle fine-tuning.

These knobs offer a luxurious feel and prevent unintended movements. The frequency separation and steepness of the isolator are precisely calibrated to separate and emphasize bass, melodies, and rhythms clearly and effectively, enabling natural yet distinctive control over the music.

Innovative Boost Send: Effects at Your Fingertips

The Euphonia introduces a revolutionary feature: the Boost Send for effortlessly applying effects. With this function, you can seamlessly insert one of the pre-installed send effects or an effect from an external device into one of the frequency bands of the master isolator.

By simply pressing the Boost Send button for the low, mid, or high frequency band and turning the corresponding isolator knob, the selected effect is precisely applied to the chosen band. This intuitive method allows you to control effects with just one hand while the other hand remains free to mix additional tracks or use other controls. Thus, efficiency and flexibility in the mixing process are achieved, which previously required the use of both hands.

Boost Level: Personalized Dynamics

Use Boost Level to add personalized expression to your mix. Depending on your individual style, you can selectively raise the level of each frequency band. For impressive, dynamic performance, choose +12dB. If you want to fine-tune the sound quality, +6dB is the ideal setting. And if you want to use reverb effects without affecting the volume, the 0dB option is recommended. This targeted adjustment allows you to precisely define the character of your sound and add a personal touch to your mix.

Expanded Sound Space: Send FX for Dimensionality

The Euphonia enriches your sound with five specially developed spatial effects and a high-pass filter, allowing you to effortlessly add depth and width to your music. Available effects include delay, tape echo, echo verb, reverb, shimmer, and the HPF (high-pass filter), complemented by a send/return interface for connecting external effects.

With individual controls for each channel, you can precisely adjust the effect level to achieve the desired intensity. The innovative Time knob, which controls the delay and reverb time, features a unique mechanism that switches between a noticeable click for rhythmic adjustments and a click-free operation for seamless transitions, allowing you to quickly and rhythmically apply effects when using delay, tape echo, and echo verb, while providing smooth turning without resistance for reverb and shimmer to create the perfect spatial fill.

Aesthetics of the Future: Redefining the Rotary Mixer

The Euphonia represents the beginning of a new era in the world of rotary mixers, characterized by its innovative design that blends tradition with forward-thinking. Its unique appearance features a two-tone, dual-layered look that bridges the gap between past and present.

The distinction between the traditional mixer elements of the channel strip and the advanced display unit is highlighted by the use of matte and glossy surfaces, resulting in a cohesive design that harmoniously integrates analog and digital components. The copper-colored main knobs radiate the warmth and depth of analog sound, while the black lacquered wooden side panels provide an elegant complement to the overall appearance.
