No-compromise Compact Digital Mixer!

The 24-channel Soundcraft Si Compact 24 digital mixing console proves that compact doesn't have to mean compromise. The Si Compact 24 digital mixing console provides the same powerhouse mixing, routing, processing, and effects that have made the full-sized Si series digital consoles a huge hit onstage and in the studio. Built around an EMMA Lite DSP platform and loaded with four Lexicon effects engines, the Si Compact 24 has enough power to run with every processor engaged on each of its 24 channels channel, plus graphic EQs on each of its outputs.

Speaking of processors, with the push of a button, you can grab hold of each of the Si Compact 24's channel's I/O, gate, compressor, 4-band parametric equalizer, and both pre- and post-fader auxiliary send parameters - all from one easy-to-use control section at the center of the console. Engage one of the output section's graphic EQs and 14 of the Si Compact 24's faders jump into place. The FaderGlow function even backlights these faders giving you crucial visual feedback.

At the center of it all, there's an interactive color touchscreen that makes setup, show control, and naming simple. Use the touchscreen to assign inserts, setup monitoring, and engineer advanced routing - all with the kind of simplicity you'd never expect from a digital board. Flexible expansion options let you integrate the Si Compact 24 digital mixer into your advanced system or setup. It comes complete with HiQnet Integration for Harman's HiQnetcontrol system. You can also expand your Si Compact 24's AES/EBU digital I/O with 64 x 64 Si series option cards, such as the Si Series MADI card. Additional features, including snapshot control and mute groups provide invaluable functions for theater and worship environments.

correction! SiC has 4 mute groups.

by Samuel Rees from Washington, D.C.

Music Background: Live Sound Engineer
Important correction: the above review incorrectly states that there are no mute groups, so you have to switch to the second layer to mute the FX. Actually, all three versions of this console have 4 m... read more [+]ute groups - easily assignable one of more of the FX returns in seconds! I've only played with a demo, but the interface really seems better than an LS9. I figured that correction deserved an extra star right? :) close [-]

Si compact review Pros/Cons

by Jody Coleman from Elkhart,In.
November 4, 2011
Music Background: Live Sound Engineer
I have had the pleasure of using one as a demo of two gigs. both outdoors in northern Indiana over the last two Notre Dame home game weekends. ND Vs. USC and ND Vs. Navy. Team pep rally/concert serie... read more [+]s.

First thing I noticed vs. the previous mixer(Yamaha LS9) is the noticable Soundcraft headroom. Much more gain and clarity for my vocal mic check. Everything is laid out on the top section of the mixer,with enough space on the left top to place your I-pad.

Now the cons-
I did not like the soft buttons for each channel select as they were prone to stick. maybe it was the wheather as it was outside and a bit colder on the second weekend. For a 24ch mixer the last 2 ch. 23-24 are on the secon layer along with effects return level faders. so some time to get used to not having them on the 1st layer makes for ending of songs a bit of a challenge as you have to select layer 2 then fade down the effect ch. as no mute group or assignable keys are available. close [-]

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
