Soundcraft Si Expression 3 Digital Mixer

Larger format Si Expression.



This mixer could be a game-changer. There are a
lot of mixing consoles flooding the market these days--metal chassis
with knobs and faders that do the job but that don't sound particularly
great. Still, they impact the market significantly, so Soundcraft
developed the Expression Series, essentially an update of their much
beloved Compact Series, introduced at a price that is competitive with
the budget consoles that have grabbed such a large part of the market.
Now you can get a Soundcraft console with the legendary "British sound,"
the creamy EQ and the colorful preamps that defined so much of the
music that defines contemporary music. The Si Expression 3 is the
32-channel version of this mixer. A detailed description follows:

Drawing
on more than a decade of experience in the field of digital audio
mixing, the Soundcraft Si Expression exploits some of the newest DSP,
component technology and manufacturing techniques to deliver
Soundcraft's most powerful cost effective digital console ever. Each
console in the range is identical in its feature set so your only choice
is how many faders and local mic amps you want. With a range covering
the super portable 19" rack mount Expression 1 to the mighty Si
Expression 3 with its 30+2 faders and 32 mic/line inputs there is a
model to meet all needs.

The Si Expression 3 features 32
recallable mic preamps, plus 4 line inputs, 4 internal stereo FX
returns, AES in, and a 64x64 expansion slot offering more than enough
scope to use every one of the 66 input processing channels. Every input
processing channel has dedicated processing for high pass filter, input
delay, gate, compressor and four band EQ while keeping it under control
is a comprehensive automation system augmented with four mute groups and
FaderGlow™ to light the way so you are never lost.

All Si
Expression consoles have busses, output processing and connectivity to
match the versatility of the inputs; the 14 aux/group mixes can be
configured as 14 mono mixes, 8 mono plus 6 stereo mixes or almost
anything in between, while the 4 matrix mixes can be mono or stereo as
needed. The bus and matrix mixes are complemented with 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 a
compressor, 4 band EQ, BSS graphic EQ and delay always available all of
the time. Output connectivity is comprehensive with all models featuring
16 balanced line outputs, headphone monitor out, AES out and of course
the 64x64 option slot.

To complement the channel and bus
processing all Si Expression consoles integrate four stereo Lexicon FX
processors based on the MX400 providing a wealth of sounds, user
adjustable parameters and dedicated tap-tempo keys. As the FX are
hardware based, use of all the effects, even on the most demanding
programmes does not affect other processing in any way and all dynamics,
EQs, filters, delays, and GEQs remain available regardless what you are
doing.

Flexible onboard and expansion I/O options ensure your Si
Expression integrates effortlessly with other system components
utilising any of the Si series option cards including AES,
Firewire/USB/ADAT, AVIOM, CobraNet, BSS Digital Audio Bus (BLU Link),
Dante CAT5 or optical MADI. The MADI card, as well as being an interface
to multi-track recording systems or plug-in systems like Waves, enables
linking the Si Performer to any of the Soundcraft or Studer stageboxes
to extend the I/O power and flexibility. Adding a stagebox to an Si
Expression actually increases the number of channels you can mix at once
not just how many inputs you have available to choose from! It is said
‘Power is nothing without control’ and here the Si Expression excels
with a comprehensive but 'simple to use' control surface incorporating a
dedicated control for every parameter, a row of global mode encoders
and colour touch screen ensuring operation is quick and easy.

As
you would expect from any Soundcraft digital mixer the facilities are
extensive and include legendary audio quality courtesy of the latest
generation EMMA DSP processor, the same DSP platform that has helped
propel previous Soundcraft Si series consoles to fame. All this power
united with reliability, flexibility and usability puts the Si
Expression in a class of its own.
