Soundcraft Si Performer 2 24-Channel Digital Mixer

The Si Performer 2 features 24 local recallable mic pre amps and 8 stereo inputs along with two ViSi Connect™ option card slots with an additional 128×96 input/output paths (one 64×64 expansion slot and another 64×32 expansion slot). Able to utilise Si series ViSi Connect™ option cards, the Si Performer gives a large range of additional digital I/O connectivity including the MADI USB Combo, BSS Digital Audio Bus (BLU Link), Dante™, CAT5 or optical MADI, AVIOM™, CobraNet™ and others with a massive mix capacity of 64 mono inputs for a total of 80 inputs to mix. Each input channel has dedicated processing for high pass filter, input delay, gate, compressor and parametric EQ. Keeping you in control are 8 VCA busses, 8 mute groups, FaderGlow and colour backlit name displays on every channel so you are never lost.

What a concept: digital audio mixing facilities married to a DMX 512 controller

Soundcraft has created something entirely new here: a digital audio console with a built-in DMX 512 controller. Think about what this means: one person can operate sound and lights from a centralized location. Until now, running a lighting rig required a separate lighting board (with its own operator) – and somewhere to put it. For churches, schools, theater companies, conference centers, and the like, it’s a brave new world!

Amazing flexibility lets you handle the big shows with ease

If you think the Soundcraft Si Performer 2’s input side is impressive, know that all Si Performer 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 parametric EQ, graphic EQ, and delay.

Onboard hardware-based Lexicon FX processors don’t soak up your resources

Soundcraft Si Performer 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.

Mix with confidence: you’re mixing on a Soundcraft

As befitting any Soundcraft digital mixer, the Si Performer 3 gives you extensive facilities and legendary audio quality, courtesy of the cutting-edge EMMA DSP processor – the same DSP platform that has helped rocket previous Soundcraft Si series consoles to stardom. At Sweetwater, our Sales Engineers are highly experienced in the essentials of FOH mixing, and they’ve been recommending Soundcraft digital boards for years, without reservation. With prodigious processing power, bulletproof reliability, impressive flexibility, amazing ease of use, and built-in lighting control capabilities, the Si Performer 3 is an outstanding value.
