Soundcraft EPM 8+2

Super little mixer. I needed an analogue monitor/mixdown mixer for my computer-free eight track recording setup. No USB, bluetooth or bells and whistles, with eight proper mono channels, inserts on each channel, sweepable mid EQ and two effects aux sends. For under 200 quid this mixer is perfect. Small footprint but lots of features and sounds great. Was a little surprised to see it has no dedicated aux returns but that's not a problem as the two stereo channels work perfectly to manage the returns from my effects units. No on/off switch either, but so what? I have a few devices with no on/off switches and just plug them into an eight-gang extension lead with individual power switches for each outlet. Simple. All in all, delighted with this cracking little mixer

Works a treat, lovely sound and knobs although a bit plastic are fine for the price range

I used this unit in a school play setting and was impressed with the overall performance. As I have students helping to run the system, the lack of a light on the mute switch was an on going frustration. Other wise the unit is a great option for a small budget.

I had to replace a large, professional Soundcraft studio mixing board (20 years old) due to it becoming noisy from what I assume are leaking capacitors. Cost more to find and fix the problem than it was worth. I have always liked Soundcraft quality, and because of that, purchased this small mixer to take its place. It works okay, but I'm not impressed with the quality of the pots or sliders; its like they used the cheapest components available, just like the other mixers in this price range. I would have paid more for better components, i.e. potentiometers that don't wiggle and stiffer sliders....but no, they have to use the same cheap stuff like everyone else. But I guess that's the way of manufacturing these days, and, you get what you pay for. The other thing I dislike about this mixer is that it doesn't even have an off/on switch. C'mon Soundcraft!! How difficult would it be to add a switch on the side?!!

Nice feature set and small footpring make this a great mixer for smaller PA systems. Highly Recommended!
