GB30 Mic preamps for pristine audio
The Soundcraft EPM12 is equipped with GB30 mic preamps, designed
by Graham Blyth for Soundcraft's 30th anniversary. These preamps
offer high-resolution adjustment over a 55dB gain range, providing
transparent sound and +22dB headroom. They ensure clear and
detailed audio capture, making it perfect for both live and studio
settings.
Advanced signal monitoring
The EPM12 features a unique PEAK LED system, offering multipoint
signal take-offs to monitor overload in various parts of the
channel strip. The LED brightens as the signal approaches peak
levels, giving you precise control and preventing distortion.
User-friendly layout
With a straightforward control surface free from unnecessary
features, the EPM12 is easy to navigate. The 60mm high-quality
faders ensure smooth channel control, while the intuitive solo
system and ten-segment LED output metering provide comprehensive
oversight of your mix.
Versatile connectivity
The EPM12 offers versatile connectivity options, including
XLR-type and 1/4 metal jack connectors, RCA phono stereo playback
inputs, and record outputs. TRS insert sockets on all mono inputs
and the mix output allow easy integration with various audio
equipment.
Durable and adaptable
Built for a range of applications, the EPM12 is easily rack
mountable and robustly constructed for reliable performance. Its
durable design makes it suitable for live music, recording studios,
houses of worship, and multi-speaker installations, ensuring it
meets the needs of any audio professional.
