Soundcraft EPM6 High-Performance 6-channel Audio Mixer

Sound craft have unveiled another addition to the rapidly growing new Sound
craft family, the multi-format low-cost EPM mixers. The emphasis with the
Sound craft EPM 6+2 is very firmly on quality build and audio performance,
with an easy to understand control surface uncluttered by unnecessary
facilities, and Sound craft have brought new technologies and ideas to this
very cost-effective range. Surface mount technology is used throughout, using
close-tolerance components for high accuracy and repeatable settings for EQ
and gain controls. The highly-transparent GB30 Mic amp (designed by Graham
Blyth for the company’s 30th anniversary, and also used on the larger LX7ii
and GB Series consoles) features high-resolution adjustment over a wide gain
range of 55dB, and provides a stunning +22dB headroom through the console.
True professional 48-volt phantom power caters for condenser microphones of
all types. A unique feature of the signal monitoring is the PEAK led. This
uses multipoint signal take-offs to watch for overload in several parts of the
channel strip, and the led lights more brightly as the signal approaches the
peak point. For smooth and accurate channel control, the EPM has 60mm high
quality faders as used on other Sound craft desks. The monitor output and
headphone output work in parallel so that performers can still listen on
phones while an engineer is listening on studio monitors. Further features of
the EPM series include 2 configurable auxiliary buses; XLR-type and ¼” metal
jack connector sockets; RCA phono stereo playback inputs and record outputs;
3-band EQ with a swept mid on mono inputs; 2-band EQ on stereo inputs; TRS
insert sockets and inserts on all mono inputs and mix output; Ten-segment LED
output metering; Intuitive and comprehensive solo system; Headphone output;
Easily rack mountable. The Sound craft EPM will find itself in many
applications including live music, recording, houses of worship and multi-
speaker installations.
