This is a wicked scratch mixer, I won it in a competition, but already have a mixer so this is up for grabs.

Its sold as new, I opened the box to check it works fine and thats its in good condition(which it is).

First Impressions:

Ecler is an unusual company in the DJ scene. Whilst others do a whole range of products covering decks, mixers, CD players etc, Ecler however only make mixers and because of this focus, they do it very well indeed. In recent times, Ecler have got some fresh blood in and made some bold moves in the mixer design department. The 4 channel NUO5 has been reviewed by Deft on skratchworx as will be the midi enabled NUO4. But today, I'm taking a look at their entry level model - the HAK 310.

Layout:

Being a HAK 360 owner, I was immediately on familiar ground. Visually the 310 follows the same stylings as it's bigger sibling - grey (rather than black) square case and silver faceplate. Indeed, it's designed to fit perfectly in between a pair of 1200s. I wouldn't know being a TTX owner so I'll have to take their word for it. And the 310 also lacks the traditional faceplate with mounting holes - something that I'm sure most scratch Djs could do without anyway - making this a really simple uncomplicated mixing box. But should you find you can't do without the mounting holes, Ecler do make an optional mounting set.

Quality-wise, the overall finish is good, but we're not talking industrial strength here. If anything, the 310 feels quite lightweight which is ideal for being out on the road though I would definitely find a nice snug carry bag or case if you plan to take it out a lot. To investigate this lightness and in the name of journalism of course, I took a screwdriver to the 310. Upon opening the case, I was amazed at just how empty the case was. The space under the faders is almost empty - plenty of room for you mod fans to shoehorn some long bodied faders. Or for the real hardcore amongst you to really squeeze SSL in there!

The fader area is one of the clearest on the market - there's absolutely nothing to get in your way. Even the line switches are offset from the line faders so that you don't knock them if you scratch hamster.

Bucking the trend for a vertical layout, Ecler have opted for a horizontal configuration. Pretty much everything works this way and it does work well. So just for once, let's move top to bottom:
