Soundcraft EPM12

The Soundcraft EPM12 is a compact, affordable 12-channel analogue mixer designed to deliver reliable, professional sound in a wide range of live and recording situations. With high-headroom GB30 mic preamps, musical EQ and a clean, intuitive layout, it is ideal for bands, venues, houses of worship and small theatres that need great audio performance without unnecessary complexity.

Built using surface-mount technology and close-tolerance components, the EPM12 offers precise, repeatable control over gain and EQ, along with robust connectivity for microphones, instruments and playback devices. Two configurable auxiliary buses, comprehensive metering and a flexible monitoring section make it a powerful hub for small PA systems, rehearsal rooms and project studios.

High-Quality GB30 Mic Preamps

At the heart of the EPM12 are Soundcraft's GB30 mic preamps, offering a wide 55 dB gain range and impressive +22 dB of headroom. This gives you plenty of clean level before clipping, helping vocals and instruments stay clear and detailed even when the mix gets loud. With true 48 V phantom power on board, the EPM12 is ready for a full complement of dynamic and condenser microphones.

Musical, Precise EQ

Each mono channel features a 3-band EQ with a swept mid, allowing you to quickly shape your sound and tackle problem frequencies without overcomplicating the process. Stereo channels are equipped with a 2-band EQ for straightforward tonal balancing of keyboards, playback devices and line-level sources. The use of close-tolerance components ensures that your EQ settings are accurate and repeatable from show to show.

Clear Metering and Peak Monitoring

A ten-segment LED output meter provides an at-a-glance view of your overall levels, while each channel benefits from a PEAK LED that monitors multiple points along the signal path. As the signal approaches clipping, the LED brightens, giving you a clear early warning so you can adjust gain before distortion becomes audible. This makes it easier to run your system confidently at optimum levels.

Flexible Monitoring and Connectivity

The EPM12 offers two configurable auxiliary buses for monitor mixes or effects sends, along with a headphone output and monitor output that can be used in parallel. This allows performers to listen on headphones while an engineer monitors on speakers. With XLR and 1/4" jack connectors, TRS inserts on all mono channels and the main mix, plus RCA phono inputs and record outputs, the EPM12 integrates easily into a variety of live and recording setups.

• GB30 Mic Preamps with Wide Headroom - High-quality GB30 mic amps provide up to 55 dB of gain and +22 dB of headroom, helping you capture clean, detailed audio from a wide range of microphones without unwanted distortion.
• Musical 3-Band EQ with Swept Mid - Mono channels feature a 3-band EQ with a sweepable mid band, giving you precise control over the critical midrange so you can enhance clarity, reduce muddiness and tailor each source to sit perfectly in the mix.
• Comprehensive Peak and Level Monitoring - Channel PEAK LEDs monitor several points in the signal path and glow brighter as you approach clipping, while ten-segment main meters make it easy to keep your overall mix at the right level.
• Versatile I/O and Aux Routing - Two configurable auxiliary buses, XLR and 1/4" jack connections, TRS inserts and RCA phono I/O give you the flexibility to connect mics, instruments, outboard gear and playback devices in a wide variety of live and installed sound applications.
