Soundcraft EPM8 8-Channel Analog Mixer SCF-EPM8

Soundcraft's EPM series represents a masterclass in audio engineering, where every component has been carefully selected to deliver professional-grade performance without the complexity that often accompanies high-end mixing consoles. The focus remains squarely on superior build quality and exceptional audio performance, achieved through an intuitive control surface that eliminates unnecessary clutter while incorporating cutting-edge technologies into this remarkably cost-effective range.

At the heart of the EPM lies surface mount technology utilising close-tolerance components, ensuring high accuracy and repeatable settings across EQ and gain controls. The console features the highly-transparent GB30 Mic amp, originally designed by Graham Blyth to commemorate the company's 30th anniversary and also found in the larger LX7ii and GB Series consoles. This sophisticated preamp offers high-resolution adjustment across an impressive 55dB gain range whilst providing an outstanding +22dB headroom throughout the console, with true professional 48-volt phantom power supporting all types of condenser microphones.

The EPM's innovative signal monitoring system centres around a unique PEAK LED that employs multipoint signal take-offs to monitor for overload across multiple sections of the channel strip. This intelligent indicator increases in brightness as signals approach peak levels, providing clear visual feedback for optimal level management. Channel control is handled by premium 60mm faders identical to those used on other Soundcraft desks, whilst the parallel operation of monitor and headphone outputs allows performers to use headphones simultaneously with engineers monitoring on studio speakers.
