Soundcraft EPM6 - 6-Channel Analog Mixing Console with 2 Stereo Channels in Dark Blue Finish

The Soundcraft EPM6 is a high-quality 6-channel analog mixing console designed for professional audio applications where clarity, performance, and ease of use are essential. With a focus on delivering premium audio performance at an affordable price, the EPM6 is ideal for a wide range of users including musicians, live sound engineers, and venues looking for a reliable, compact mixing solution. The console also includes two stereo input channels, making it versatile enough for various setups and audio configurations.

The EPM6 features the renowned GB30 mic preamp, designed by Soundcraft co-founder Graham Blyth. This highly transparent preamp offers a wide gain range of 55dB and provides +22dB of headroom, ensuring a pristine audio signal with low noise and minimal distortion. The inclusion of true 48V phantom power supports the use of high-quality condenser microphones, making the EPM6 suitable for both live and studio environments. Surface mount technology and precision components are employed throughout the console to provide consistent and accurate EQ and gain control settings.

The Soundcraft EPM6 is equipped with an intuitive layout that is free of unnecessary clutter, making it easy to navigate even for users new to professional mixing. The 60mm faders offer smooth and precise control over each channel, ensuring accuracy in both live and studio settings. Unique to the EPM6 is the PEAK LED system, which uses multiple points in the signal path to detect and alert the user to potential overloads, with the LED glowing brighter as the signal approaches the peak level.

The mixer includes a 3-band EQ with a swept midrange on the six mono channels, offering extensive tone-shaping capabilities, while the two stereo channels are equipped with a 2-band EQ for easy and effective equalization. TRS insert points are available on all mono channels and on the main mix output, allowing for the integration of external processors such as compressors or equalizers. The EPM6 also features two configurable auxiliary buses, providing flexible routing options for effects or monitor mixes.

Connectivity is comprehensive, with XLR and 1/4-inch jack inputs on all mono channels, along with RCA phono inputs for stereo playback and record outputs. A dedicated headphone output allows for monitoring, and a ten-segment LED meter provides accurate visual feedback of output levels. The EPM6 is lightweight, compact, and easily rack-mountable, making it a versatile solution for a wide variety of professional audio needs.
