Soundcraft SI Expression 3 - SIE3 Digital Mixing Console 32MIC 4LINE

Built on the success of the Si Performer and Compact Digital Mixers, the Si Expression series is Soundcraft's answer to the new trend in the pro audio industry for affordable digital mixers. The Expression line comes in 3 sizes: 16 channels, 24 channels, and 32 channels. They are essentially slightly stripped down versions of the Performer series.

Each of the 3 Expression models feature on-board mic inputs/preamps, 4 line inputs, 8 matrix buses, 4 FX busses with Lexicon effects engines, LR and C mix buses, 20 subgroup/aux buses, color touch screen and lots more. They also feature 1 expansion I/O card slot with various different cards on the way including MADI and Firewire. With the optional MADI card, you will be able to bypass the built in preamps for the new Mini and Compact Stageboxes that also being released using a simple CAT5 connection.

The Soundcraft Si Expression 3 32-channel Digital Mixer leverages cutting-edge DSP, component technology, and manufacturing techniques to deliver awesome mixing power in a compact, amazingly affordable package. The Si Expression 3 gives you 32 recallable mic preamps, four line inputs, four internal stereo FX returns, AES in, and a 64x64 expansion slot that lets you deploy up to 66 input processing channels - each sporting a highpass filter, input delay, gate, compressor, and four-band EQ. Robust automation and connectivity are the icing on the cake. Take your mixing to the next level, with Soundcraft's Si Expression 3.

Amazing flexibility
If you think the Soundcraft Si Expression 3's input side is impressive, know that all Si Expression boards also sport versatile bussing, output processing, and connectivity. You can configure the 14 aux/group mixes as 14 mono mixes, eight mono plus six stereo mixes - or just about anything in between. The four matrix mixes can be mono or stereo as required. You also get four more mix busses dedicated to the internal Lexicon FX processors - all in addition to the left, right and center busses. Each bus mix features always-available compression, 4-band EQ, BSS graphic EQ, and delay. Comprehensive output connectivity includes 16 balanced line outs, a headphone out, AES out, and the 64x64 option slot.

Onboard Lexicon FX processors
Soundcraft Si Expression consoles incorporate four stereo Lexicon FX processors based on the acclaimed MX400. With fully adjustable parameters and dedicated tap-tempo keys, you can tweak to your heart's content. These FX are hardware-based, so even if you're using a ton of them it doesn't affect your other processing in the slightest - all your dynamics, EQ, filters, delays, and GEQs will be always available, no questions asked.

Say goodbye to digital mixer confusion
Soundcraft's Si Expression mixers feature a 1 Control = 1 Function interface, with each control dedicated to a single function. No confusing control layering or endless menu purgatory navigation. This approach allows the Si Expression controls to be labelled on the surface just as they would be on an analog desk. Ah, productivity - how refreshing!
