Small console....big possibilities

With any audio gear purchase, the two big factors for me are reputation and versatility.Soundcraft is well known and respected throughout the audio industry....so that was an easy choice. As far as versatility goes......this small console can do a lot. I use it for my keyboard setup and it works great through headphones or my keyboard amp. The sound is clean and the eq is great. I recommend this to any home audio enthusiast. It is PC compatible and compact in size.

Soundcraft Customer Service is Terrific

I needed to get some repairs for my signature 16 and Soundcraft did an amazing job helping me get my unit back into good operating order. Their website is very tractable, they actually fixed the problem(s, they found one I didn't know about), and they honored the warranty. I used to revere Soundcraft, and now I venerate this company in a new way thanks to their service department.

I am using mine for home recording. It is not ideal for that mostly because the monitoring facilities are not elaborate. I use this with a UA Volt interface now and I am very pleased. I love this mixer in the studio because I have intricate routing requirements for my electronic music production. The monitor buses with switchable pre/post settings per bus, and the two stereo sub mix buses enable me to route things in ways I have not otherwise been able to accomplish. Being able to have a bus compressor on a sub mix is awesome.

I do live AV sound for work and I would definitely like to use this console for music. I think this would make the perfect Open Mic night, or blues jam mixer.

What would I like to see in the next version?
- Channel Insert points, or Direct Outs. I mostly feel the need to have outboard channel compression, gating for this to be a good live board. (The limiters on Ch 1 -4 are OK as far as they go...)
- A few more options on the monitor section that account for using the console in a recording application, especially the ability to monitor mains in headphones while they are muted.
- It would be dreamy to have 16 x 8 channels of 24bit 96khz on this console, setting it above the Signature 12 and Signature 22 as a professional option.

Other boards I use daily: Allen & Heath Zed 10, which is a great swiss army knife of an interface/mixer, and an old Yamaha M7CL in an auditorium.

I like the EQ pretty well, the board is quiet. The routing capabilities are marvelous.

Hope this helps you evaluate this console and this company for your application.

Superb Mixer

I have been using this mixer for about 2 years now, usually about twice a week for live gigs into JBL PRX 12s. This board sounds amazing first of all, and its got many awesome features with lots of creative options for a professional mix ! It also is very durable; mine has been stepped on, fallen over, beaten up over time and its still working great! I JUST WISH SOUNDCRAFT MADE A MULTITRACK RECORDING VERSION OF THIS, but they don't and its not the end of the world 'cause you can still track a stereo master out, but a multitrack version of this would be great. There's no compression, but there are 4 limiters so thats a good note. . Also wish there was at least one more effects engine for multiple effects at a time, but really this board still blows me away. You can still send things through group or aux to external compression or effects then return them to the board and through the master out, but onboard stuff would be convenient for me. It does the job very well though, and I love it!
