I’ve tended to gravitate towards the zed range for niceness but I notice they wear out fast when they spend a lot of time out.

What would people recommend for a console that’s going to stationary and always be on? The last zed that tried to do this job randomly started maxing out the volume a few days ago (it’s for bgm, max output sounds terrible in that space) and I’m suspecting exposure cooked it. I’d almost be inclined to install mixer but I need something bar staff can use
 
I have a Soundcraft EPM6 that seems like it has a pretty good build quality. If its for Bar staff maybe a rackmount Shure or Rane might be a good move. Less things to mess up. Just the volume knobs accessible and they should not have issues running 24/7.
 
Soundcraft Notepad. Literally has every IO option you could ever want, great pricing, even has effects
