Suitable for

This kit is not suitable for mounting other mixer models, as it is custom-engineered exclusively for the dimensions and chassis design of the Soundcraft EPM 6. It is also not intended for use in non-standard rack enclosures that do not adhere to the 19-inch width specification.
Key specifications

To install the kit, first remove any side panels or protective elements from the EPM 6 mixer as specified in the console manual.

Once attached, slide the mixer into your 19-inch rack and secure it to the rack rails using standard rack screws.
