Soundcraft EFX8 8-channel Compact Mixer with Effects at a Glance:
  • Premium effects onboard
  • Easy to use
  • Great components

Premium effects onboard
The Soundcraft EFX mixer uses the same AudioDNA processor featured in many of the Digitech and Lexicon outboard equipment including the highly respected Lexicon MX400 processor. With over 35 years experience, the Lexicon name is synonymous with the best reverb and processing in the business, ensuring the finest quality effects not usually found in a console at this price level.The effects section fits neatly into the mixers compact framework which is available in 8 or 12 mono input variants, both with 2 stereo channels and an effects send on each channel. There are 32 effects to choose from with a tap tempo function, 3 effects parameter controls and a user effects setting store facility. An effects channel level clip LED and Mute function gives the user even more flexibility.

Easy to use
The emphasis with the Soundcraft EFX is very firmly on quality build and audio performance, with an easy to understand control surface in line with the Soundcraft professional range. The Soundcraft EFX uses the highly-transparent GB30 Mic amp (designed by Graham Blyth for the company's 30th anniversary, and also used on the larger LX7ii and GB Series professional consoles).

Great components
The Soundcraft EFX also offers all the features of the Soundcraft EPM most notably a configurable aux send, XLR and 1/4" metal jack connector sockets, RCA phono stereo playback inputs and record outputs, 3-band EQ with a swept mid on the mono inputs, 3-band EQ on the 2 stereo inputs, TRS insert sockets, inserts on all mono inputs, ten-segment LED output metering and a headphone output.

My Second Soundcraft Mixer

This is my second Soundcraft Mixer, replacing an MFX8, which is no longer made. This mixer is just as good or better than the MFX. Slightly smaller footprint by 2"x2", but seems to produce an even cleaner sound. My last mixer lasted over a decade with some heavy use at times. I'm please with this mixer and recommend it. It's certainly better than others I have used.
Rated 5/5

Small Mixer, GREAT Sound!

The sound quality of this mixer is soooooooo much better than my Mackie and even my Yamaha. FXs are very natural sounding. If you need a small inexpensive mixer, this is the one!
Music background: 30 years playing and performing
Rated 5/5

Great mixer!!

After 20 years of faithful service my Mackie mixer needed to be replaced. I looked at all the mixers I could that had the features I needed and chose the Soundcraft. Glad I did. This unit is solid! I'm very happy with the audio quality, ease of use and the Lexicon effects are awesome!!
Rated 5/5

Five stars

A manager at a large music retail chain told me they have rented Soundcraft mixers for decades. He said the efx were highly reliable, and very rarely failed in any way.
Sound quality is first class.
Rated 5/5

Great mixer

Had a Behringer mixer that was simply unreliable and appeared to be poorly made. Unlike some of the controls (ex. gain controls) on the Behringer which were flimsy and eventually became unreliable (volume would drop in the middle of a song and if you lightly tapped the gain, you came back), the controls on the Soundcraft appear to be much tighter and solid. Overall the sound of the Soundcraft is better/cleaner and the EQ and effects seem to be a much higher quality than the Behringer. How will it hold up over time ? We'll have to see. The Behringer took about 2 1/2 years to develop problems.
Music background: play local gigs
