Ecler SAMI-402 4-Channel 19" Analogue Stereo Rack Mixer
DETAILS
The Ecler SAMI-402 is a 4-Channel 19" Analogue Stereo Installation Rack Mixer delivering three MIC/LINE stereo inputs, one LINE stereo input, 3-band tone control, talkover priority and a MUTE remote control port.
Compact, professional and versatile 1RU mixer for retail, education, corporate, hospitality and sports and wellness installations.
The Ecler SAMI-402 has been designed specifically for professional fixed audio installations across a wide range of commercial environments — including retail stores, educational facilities, corporate offices, hospitality venues and sports and wellness spaces. In a compact 1RU 19" rack format, the SAMI-402 provides a well-specified four-channel analogue stereo mixing solution with three MIC/LINE stereo inputs and one dedicated LINE stereo input, accommodating a flexible combination of microphone and line-level sources from a single rack-mountable unit. The result is a clean, professional and highly practical mixer that simplifies installation audio system design without compromising on features or audio quality.
High-Quality Audio Performance
The SAMI-402 delivers excellent audio performance across all input types. Line inputs achieve a frequency response of 10Hz to 50kHz (-1dB), THD+Noise of less than 0.005% and a signal-to-noise ratio of greater than 100dB — figures that reflect the quality of Ecler's engineering heritage. Balanced MIC inputs achieve a frequency response of 10Hz to 30kHz (-1dB) and SNR greater than 85dB, with a common mode rejection ratio of greater than 60dB at 1kHz for clean, interference-free microphone amplification. All MIC inputs support +18V phantom power for condenser microphones, and microphone sensitivity can be fine-tuned via rear panel adjustment for precise level matching across different microphone types and installation scenarios.
Talkover, Tone Control & Flexible Output
The SAMI-402 includes a number of features specifically tailored for professional installation use. A 3-band tone control section — with Bass at 100Hz ±15dB, Mid at 2kHz ±15dB and Treble at 10kHz ±15dB — allows tonal shaping of the mix output to suit different room acoustics and system requirements. A talkover (priority) function is assignable from each MIC/LINE input over the mix bus, with a 2-second release time and -30dB ducking effect — ensuring microphone announcements are always clearly heard above background music. The main mix output is switchable between stereo and mono operation, with an additional AUX/REC output for recording or zone feed applications. Output levels are internally selectable at 0dB or +6dB to suit different downstream equipment requirements.
Remote Control & Safety Integration
The SAMI-402 includes a MUTE remote control input triggered by external dry contact closure — enabling straightforward integration with fire detection systems, emergency alert systems and other safety devices for automatic audio muting in an emergency. This makes the SAMI-402 a compliant and practical choice for commercial installations where fire safety integration is a requirement. Power LED, MUTE LED and VU-meter level LEDs provide clear front panel status monitoring at all times. The unit is passively cooled for silent operation and is supplied with a ±17.5VDC multi-plug external PSU, Euroblocks, rubber feet and mini jumpers.
