Frequently asked questions
Which mixer is better for live touring?
The Ui16 excels in touring due to its rugged 4U rack chassis, wireless remote operation for flexible placement, and 16-input capacity. The EPM12 is more portable and lightweight but limited to 12 mono and 2 stereo inputs; it suits smaller venues and fixed setups better.
Do I need networking knowledge to use these?
The EPM12 requires no technical setup—it is a straightforward analog mixer with physical connections and faders. The Ui16 requires basic Wi-Fi or Ethernet setup but then offers intuitive HTML5 browser control; no dedicated app is needed.
Which has more input flexibility?
The Ui16 provides 16 XLR combo inputs for greater capacity and variety. The EPM12 offers 12 mono XLR and 2 stereo RCA inputs, totaling 14 channels, which is sufficient for smaller setups but more limited for multi-band or complex sessions.
What is the key difference in how you mix on each?
The EPM12 uses physical 60mm faders and hands-on controls for immediate tactile feedback. The Ui16 uses tablet, phone, or laptop interfaces for remote mixing, making it flexible for venue layouts where the console cannot be positioned near the mixing engineer.
