March 14, 2024: AlphaTheta Corporation announces the release of the euphonia from
its AlphaTheta brand, a professional rotary mixer which creates an amazingly natural and smooth mixing
experience.
Building on over 30 years of audio technology and innovation while paying homage to
rotary mixers, known for their unique sound quality and playability that enables deep immersion in music, this is the
first mixer to bear the AlphaTheta name and it’s the company’s first-ever rotary unit.
Yoshinori Kataoka, AlphaTheta's President and CEO, said, "We’re so pleased to introduce the euphonia professional rotary mixer. Having watched the DJM Series evolve since I helped develop the first model in 1995, the DJM-500, I have a special feeling about the euphonia. It’s inspired by our customers’ love of music and our dream to create a new expression of the DJ mixer. We’re truly excited to witness the euphonia’s unique sound bringing excitement and inspiration to DJs and their audiences.”

 

The all-new 4-channel euphonia provides a euphoric musical experience that combines
the clarity of digital and the richness of analog. This holy grail of sound characteristics is made possible by the highresolution wide-ranging sound design and the inclusion of an analog transformer circuit, co-developed with
Rupert Neve Designs, which enhances harmonics in your music to create an energetic and polished sound that
enables smooth mixing.
Once you’ve fallen in love with the sound, you’ll notice the supreme feel of the uniquely
developed rotary faders which have been carefully designed to make you feel a deeper connection with the
euphonia. The 3Band Master Isolator was also custom designed so you can make dynamic changes to the music and
have more sensory control over your sound. Going one step further, you can turn your spontaneous musical
inspiration into impactful sound by using the 3Band Master Isolator in combination with the new Boost Send feature for
powerful performances.
All this is just the tip of the euphonia’s “iceberg” as the mixer also features an Energy
Visualizer, built-in Send FX, and multiple inputs and outputs to enable you to take your musical expression to the
next level. The sound produced by the euphonia immerses you deeper in the music and promises richer musical
experiences.

 

KEY FEATURES

- Professional 4-channel rotary mixer

Specially developed rotary fader makes you feel at one with the music
When you touch the faders on the euphonia, you won’t want to let go. To enhance its
intuitive mixing experience, the unit is loaded with rotary faders that feature a brand-new carefully developed design
to give you the feeling that you and the mixer are one. After extensive testing, the perfect knob sizes were chosen,
with an elastomer applied to the outer circumference of each to ensure a comfortable and reliable grip as well as a
high level of vibration absorption. The uniquely developed mechanism for the faders also benefits from
optimum weighting. You’ll notice a difference in the feel of the knobs when you turn them at different speeds, as a higher
load is applied when you turn a knob slowly for delicate fine-tuning and a lower load level is applied when you turn
a knob quickly to instantly reach your intended volume level. And the fader volume curves have been optimized
through feedback from numerous DJs, enabling smooth and natural mixing without equalizing, so you can
concentrate on volume control.
This innovative fader allows for musical expression that will move your audience and enhance your performance.

 

Energy Visualizer for understanding overall sound at first glance
Get an instant visual grasp of the status of your mix and the balance of track volume
levels by glancing at the euphonia’s Energy Visualizer. Conventional VU meters only have 1 needle meter,
making it difficult for DJs to grasp multiple channel levels at the same time. The euphonia's uniquely developed Mix Level
Meter features a needle meter for each channel so you can visually check the levels for all channels and mix
smoothly while keeping the groove going. You can even keep an eye on the balance of the Master output by looking
at the Spectrum Analyzer, which helps you keep your mixes sounding consistent and smooth, even in a long set,
as you “watch” the euphonia’s output and adjust it to create your perfect sound.

 

Next-generation 3Band Master Isolator that transforms sensibility into sound at
your will
Enjoy a more sensory level of control over your music with the 3Band Master Isolator which was specially built for
the euphonia.

• Highest-quality isolator

The size of the isolator knobs is perfect for rapid turns from center to maximum or minimum, and the torque load
is perfectly balanced for both quick operation and fine sound quality adjustment, with a luxurious feel that’s not
too light. The cut-off frequency and slope are set to control and highlight the kick, melody, and rhythm bands in a
natural yet sharp manner.

• Brand-new Boost Send for one-handed effects application
Add one of the built-in Send Effects, or an effect from an external unit, to the sound of any of the Master Isolator
frequency bands. Press the Boost Send button for the low, mid, or high band and, as you turn the isolator knob,
the effect will be applied to that band. This enables you to apply effects with a single hand in a way that previously
needed two, leaving the other hand free for mixing another track.

• Boost Level to help you express your style

Pick the Boost Level setting that suits your playing style, and the volume level of each
frequency band will be increased by the relevant amount. Choose +12dB for dynamic performances, +6dB for
sound quality adjustments, and 0dB for reverb effects without any volume boost.
Built-in Send FX to bring depth and breadth to your sound
The euphonia features 5 built-in spatial effects and a high-pass filter, so you can easily
add depth and breadth to your music. These are: Delay, Tape Echo, Echo Verb, Reverb, Shimmer, and HPF
(high-pass filter). There’s also a Send/Return section which gives you the option to connect external effects units. A
dedicated knob on each channel enables you to adjust the send level going to the selected effect, so you can apply just
the right amount. And the Time knob, which allows you to adjust the effect delay and reverb time, has a proprietary
mechanism developed specifically for this unit that automatically switches between a clicking sensation and noclicking sensation
depending on the effect you’ve selected. When using Delay, Tape Echo, and Echo Verb, the knob clicks according to the BPM, so you can quickly apply effects. When you use Reverb and Shimmer, there’s no clicking, so you can turn the knob freely

 

Design that embodies a new era of rotary mixer
The euphonia was designed to signal a new era of rotary mixers, with a "two-tone, twolayer" look symbolizing
tradition and innovation. The channel strip section, which comprises traditional mixer
elements, is distinguished from the innovative display section by matte and gloss textures, resulting in a crisp
design that combines analog and digital elements. The copper color of the primary knobs conveys the warmness of
analog sound, and the wood side panels are painted black to blend in with the overall aesthetic.
