SOUNDCRAFT EPM6

The EPM range of affordable mixing consoles emphasises professional sound quality and construction, together with a clear and easy-to-understand control panel design that is free of all superfluous elements. For a console in this price category, the use of the proven GB30 microphone preamplifiers, familiar from the higher-end GB and LX7ii series, is surprising, which are also equipped with three-band equalizers with adjustable mids, phantom power and optional XLR or TS inputs (Jack 6.3 mm).

In addition to the mono inputs, the console offers two stereo inputs and RCA In/Out. A unique feature is the LED peak indication of each channel, which monitors levels at several points in the signal chain. The 60 mm faders used are of very high quality and have a pleasant operation. Parallel operation of the monitoring and headphone outputs allows this mix to be used in the studio.

The console is available in three sizes: the EPM6 (6 mono + 2 stereo inputs), EPM8 (8 mono + 2 stereo inputs) and EPM 12 (12 mono + 2 stereo inputs) and is aimed at those who don't have a very generous budget but still need the quality and affordability of professional features.
