Frequently asked questions
Which mixer is better for live sound at a small venue?
Both work well for small venues, but the choice depends on your workflow. The Ui12 suits venues where you want to control mixing from multiple locations via tablets or phones. The EPM12 suits venues where you want traditional fader control and a straightforward setup with no wireless dependencies.
What are the key differences in onboard processing?
The Ui12 includes three dedicated Lexicon FX processors (reverb, delay, chorus) plus parametric EQ, compressor, de-esser, and noise gate on inputs, with additional 31-band graphic EQ on outputs. The EPM12 has a simpler 3-band parametric EQ with sweepable mids and two configurable auxiliary buses for sending to external effects, relying more on external processors.
Which mixer offers more input flexibility?
The Ui12 provides greater input variety with four XLR combo mic/line, four dedicated XLR mic, two Hi-Z instrument inputs, and stereo RCA. The EPM12 offers 12 mono XLR inputs and 2 stereo RCA inputs, providing simpler but less diverse connectivity.
Is the Ui12 more complicated to use than the EPM12?
The Ui12 requires a tablet, smartphone, or computer for control and introduces wireless networking, making it more complex to set up but more flexible for distributed control. The EPM12 uses traditional hands-on faders and straightforward analog connections, making it simpler for operators who prefer tactile, immediate control.
