This is an analog console 12 mono tracks (each with an XLR is noted), Stereo 2 tracks, two auxiliary dparts, EG three bands with mdium parameter. No effects Intgr.

There is nothing superfluous. However, it lacks a button on / off and lights for the PFL and Mute, as it is not clear when the inter are engaged.

UTILIZATION

Operation is easier than on my old table (Berhinger 1622FX), there are fewer features, but all are useful to me. The table is fairly intuitive, it comes out without worry. This is important for me who does not know much in this area. An assistant would not have dplu more, but hey the price as it is.
The buttons are close indeed, but that's the price to pay for a table despite the compact 14 tracks.
A manual in French would be welcome.

SOUNDS

The sound is good, without breath, quite friendly and the legalization works. Frankly, nothing wrong, had gard to price.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months. Before, I had a Berhinger 1622FX, which offered more opportunities, but most do not serve me, suddenly I'm confused. This table seems more solid, although I did not suffer with the problem Berhe. The EPM12 inspires confidence with its chssis mtallique heavy. The report quality is excellent price (300 euros). For my use, résumé:
Assets:
-Simplicity and usability
-Son and effective rglages
Great number of tracks
Aspect-solid

Cons:
-No power button stop
-Roast Manual
No light-mute and PFL
