SoundcraftEPM8 High-Performance 8-channel Audio Mixer

It’s a soundcraft - not much more to say. If you are looking for a good quality small console, this should be the one on top of your list

This was a great investment. Solid build, clean signal path, transparent tonality, and balanced connectors throughout. It is part of my studio monitoring system, and works perfectly.

Sonido de calidad impresionante. Pre's cálidos y con cuerpo. Componentes finos y de gran duración. La recomiendo ampliamente.

A nice small format mixer. Everything you need and nothing you don't (Well, almost. More on that later). Though Soundcraft calls this a 6 channel mixer, it also has 2 dedicated stereo channels and a 2 track input. There are some OEMs out there that would insist on calling this a 12 channel board. The board is resolutely and completely analog. No microprocessor anything. A good result of this is that there is only one minor mystery to operating it (More on that later). The controls are well labeled and logically arranged exactly where you would expect them to be. All channels are clear, quiet, and neutral in terms of coloration. The eq controls (hi, low, and sweapable mid) are minimalist but no less than what is commonly needed to get a good mix. The I/O capabilities (2 main, 2 aux, 2 monitor outputs, inserts for all mic channels and both main output channels) are pretty minimal, but again, what is needed for a basic mix.In terms of usage case four come immediately to mind: (1) Small band just starting out. With this mixer, a few mics, and a couple of powered speakers you have a nice reasonably portable PA that does not require a masters degree in audio engineering to use, a professional roadie to move, nor a millionaire's budget to buy. (2) In a larger setting a mixing board like this is nice for handling sub-mixing jobs (e.g. drum mic submixer). (3) Convention panelist mic mixer (What I got mine for). And (4) Training: Learn how this board handles sound and you will have a good understanding of basic common audio mixing concepts applicable to almost all mixers.The one mystery (and the only reason this is a 4 star rather than a 5 star review) is why there is no on-off switch. If you plug in the cord and the outlet is hot, the board is on. This does make power up sequencing something to be aware of (Powered speakers/amps last please!). Plan accordingly. My guess is that Soundcraft figured the board would almost always wind up plugged into a switched power strip and that that power strip would always be plugged in switched off before getting turned on. The board has no finicky microprocessors to glitch with a less than clean switch and it is one less frequently used on-board component to fail. So long as there are no line switched amps on that same power strip you are probably fine...By the by: The photo depicts the EPM6 neatly tucked into an inexpensive Apache 4800 travel/storage case. (Sometimes its nice to know that you don't need to spend more on the road case than you did on the board.)

Me dedico a la producción de Eventos, y tengo 4 de estás consolas.. son Precisas y un Audio muy fino..
