Soundcraft EPM6chat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Users consistently praise the EPM6's build quality and sound. Commenters describe it as a great-sounding, sturdy mixer with nice features like sweepable mid EQ and channel inserts. Several owners who've had it for months or years remain satisfied, and one prospective buyer noted it seems almost too good for its price, suggesting strong perceived value among the mixer's user base.

A missing master Aux send control frustrated at least one experienced engineer enough to return it. A user with over 45 years of live sound experience returned the unit because there's no master level control for Aux sends, meaning stage monitor levels must be adjusted per channel rather than all at once. They also noted the absence of a master mute or mains break switch, calling the Aux oversight a rare engineering gap not seen on other mixers they've used.

Multiple users were caught off guard by mono-only monitoring and Aux routing. Several commenters found that PFL, headphone monitoring, and Aux 1 sends convert stereo channel signals to mono, even from the stereo inputs, which wasn't obvious from the manual or tutorials. One prospective buyer called this the one apparent drawback before purchasing, while another reported a slight input lag when playing drum pads or guitar through the mixer.
