By combining the best of Soundcraft digital mixing technology with a DMX controller, the Si Performer is the first digital audio console capable in addition to controlling a light system.
In the event and show industry, audio and light have always been partners. So far, even the simplest audio and light system required two separate control equipment. From now on, the Si Performer allows to have the hand on sound and light from a single surface. Its integrated DMX interface allows to use the faders and automation of the console to control a basic light system, ideal for events and shows in schools, places of worship, theatres, conferences, etc
The Si Performer is also an extremely powerful compact digital audio console. It integrates the most advanced digital mixing technologies with an extremely intuitive control interface, allowing immediate action on all console settings without having to go through complex menus and screens. It is compatible with Soundcraft ViSi Remote software, making it possible to control the console through different iPads allowing artists on stage to mix their own back-of-stage.
The Si Performer 2 has 24 micro preamplifiers, plus 8 stereo returns, an AES input/output, 16 symmetrical analog outputs, a 64×64 extension slot and a second 64×32 extension slot allowing each of their 64 inputs to the 80 internal mixing channels. Each internal mixing channel has a high-pass filter, input time, compressor/gate and 4-band parametric corrector. With its 8 VCA buses, these 8 mute groups, its Faderglow fader coloring process and a new mini backlit color display on each track indicating the name of the channel and other useful parameters, you are never lost.
The Si Performer offers 14 auxiliary buses or groups that can be configured in 14 mono or 8 mono and 6 stereo departures, while the matrices are configured in mono or stereo as required. In addition to buses to and matrices, 4 buses are dedicated to departures to the 4 integrated lexicon effects, plus left, right and centre general buses with their L/R + mono/centre or LCR mixing options. Each bus has a compressor, a 4-band parametric editor, a graphic editor and a delay. It incorporates 4 Lexicon stereo effect processors of the same technology as the popular MX400, offering a wide range of customizable effects with their own tap-tempo. These effect processors using their own Lexicon dsp, the internal processing of the console is fully available for the treatment of slices and departures.
The Si Performer easily integrates into any type of audio environment thanks to its 2 expansion slots, allowing to receive cards in MADI cat5 and optical format, Aviom, Cobranet and AES/EBU. They make it easier to connect external recording systems or plug-ins, without forgetting stage racks.
