The Soundcraft EPM6 is a compact analog mixing console with 6 mono mic/line channels and 2 stereo input channels, built for users who want dependable sound and straightforward controls without menus or extras they will never touch. It fits small live rooms, houses of worship, school and conference spaces, bars and restaurants, rehearsal rooms and simple installed paging or background music systems. The EPM6 uses the same GB30 mic preamp design found in Soundcraft's LX7ii and GB Series consoles, and its internal universal power supply and rack mount option make it an easy choice for both portable and fixed systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many microphones can I connect?
Up to 6 microphones on the mono channels, each with an XLR input and GB30 preamp. True 48V phantom power is available for condenser microphones.
Is the EPM6 digital, and can I control it from a tablet?
No. It is a fully analog console with physical knobs and 60mm faders. There is no app or wireless remote control, which many volunteer and small-venue operators prefer for its simplicity.
Does it have USB recording or built-in effects?
No. The EPM series has no USB interface and no onboard effects. Record a stereo mix through the RCA record outputs, or connect an external effects unit using an aux send. The Soundcraft EFX series adds Lexicon effects if you need them built in.
Can it be rack mounted?
Yes. Soundcraft offers optional rack mounting ears for the EPM series, sold separately. The power supply is internal, so there is no external power brick to secure.
