Union Audio has unveiled the second edition of its small yet mighty Elara.4 analogue DJ mixer, introducing several new feature upgrades.

The Cornwall-based brand says the revised model builds on its “winning combination of modern compact design and analogue warmth”, and is suitable for those working in all sorts of environments, be it a club, studio, or at home.

The first iteration of the Elara.4 was announced back in November 2023, hosting a fully-featured channel strip with auxiliary send, channel level trim, a responsive three-band EQ, and a high-pass filter with auto-variable Q – just to name some of its features.

This evolution of the Elara.4 now brings high quality RIAA inputs across all channels, 45mm faders (from its larger sibling, the Elara.6), an additional 3.5mm headphone socket, and balanced XLR mic input. It also has a brand new master EQ/isolator with variable crossover control, unique to the MK2 model, which is designed to complement the channel EQ and allow for creative sound sculpting.

“The original Elara.4 was designed to give those DJ’s who struggle with limited space, either in the booth, studio or at home, the option to use a compact four-channel mixer which still retained a high level of functionality and provided the exceptional sound quality Union Audio are known for,” reads a press release shared with MusicTech.

“Based on user feedback we decided to extend the high-quality RIAA inputs across all channels and make the isolator crossover frequency control more playable, before adding the mic and headphone inputs, and standardising the faders across the Elara range. The resulting Elara.4 mk2 now offers the versatility and quality to elevate any DJ set, anywhere!”

The Elara.4 MK2 is priced at £1,575.00 GBP, with pre-orders due to ship on 15 May. Find out more over at Union Audio.
