This sophisticated console is engineered to deliver the legendary British sound that has defined Soundcraft's legacy in professional audio equipment. With a heritage rooted in over 40 years of experience, the Si Impact combines the intuitive simplicity of an analog mixer with the advanced capabilities of digital technology.

The Si Impact boasts a comprehensive array of features, including 32 high-quality microphone inputs and 8 XLR/1/4" combi-jacks for versatile line inputs and instrument connections. Its 40 DSP input channels, comprising 32 mono inputs and 4 stereo channels/returns, offer unparalleled control over your audio sources. The console is equipped with 31 output busses, each with full DSP processing and graphic equalization, ensuring precise sound shaping capabilities.

Experience the precision of a 4-band fully parametric EQ on each channel and bus, along with 8 variable control audio (VCA) groups and 8 mute groups for advanced audio routing. The Si Impact's 26 motorized faders, including 24 for inputs plus left/right/mono, provide tactile control over your mix, complemented by 4 fully customizable fader layers for personalized workflow.

The built-in stage box connectivity simplifies setup, while the 5" touchscreen display and multi-color LCD channel displays on each input fader offer immediate visual feedback. The console's 4 studio-grade Lexicon Effects engines and dedicated FX busses bring world-class reverbs, delays, and modulations to your fingertips, alongside BSS Graphic Equalizers on every bus for industry-standard sound shaping.

With 20 sub-group/aux busses and 4 mono/stereo matrix busses, the Si Impact provides extensive routing options. The integrated 32x32 USB audio interface facilitates seamless multi-track recording and playback, making this console a powerhouse for both live and studio applications.

Innovative digital mixing is at the core of the Si Impact, with features like the unique FaderGlow system that illuminates fader tracks in different colors for quick identification of their assigned functions. The clear multi-color LCD displays ensure you have all the critical information you need, right at your fingertips.

The Si Impact is not just about power; it's about flexibility. The optional Soundcraft Stage box can be connected via a single Cat 5 cable, allowing you to place your I/O exactly where it's needed, whether on stage or in the recording room. The console's pristine audio quality is easily captured directly to your DAW, with a free download of Ableton Live Lite 9 included for immediate recording capabilities.

For the ultimate in remote mixing, the Si Impact's capabilities can be accessed from anywhere in the venue using the Soundcraft remote iPad app. This innovative feature enables front-of-house mixing from the audience, monitor mixing from the stage, or even individual monitor mix adjustments from multiple iPad devices.

Every input processing channel on the board can be routed through a dedicated high-pass filter, input delay, compressor, gate, and four-band equalizer. Each channel is also under the control of an automation system with four mute groups and illuminated faders to keep track of signal processing. For outputs, the mixer includes 16 balanced line outputs, a headphone monitor output, AES output, and the 64 x 64 expansion slot.

The mixer features 14 aux/group mixes that can be used as 14 mono mixes, or 8 mono and 6 stereo mixes, or any combination between. The mixer also utilizes 4 matrix mixes that allow you to assign any combination of inputs to any combination of outputs in either mono or stereo mode. In addition to the auxiliary/group and matrix busses, the unit features four mix busses dedicated to the device's internal Lexicon FX processing. Each bus mix includes a delay, compressor, a four-band equalizer, and a BSS graphic equalizer. Since the Lexicon FX processor is hardware based, using the effects does not influence the signal processing performance of the rest of the mixer.

For I/O expansion, the mixer will accept any of the Soundcraft Si series option cards including AES, AVIOM, CobraNet, Firewire/USB/ADAT, Dante CAT5, and optical MADI. The MADI card allows you to connect to multi-track recording systems, plug-ins such as WAVES, and Studer or Soundcraft stageboxes. Using a stagebox increases both the number of physical inputs, as well as the number of input processing channels. Every processing parameter utilizes a dedicated control so that you do not need to navigate through menu hierarchies to make adjustments. A row of global mode encoders above each channel gives you control over gain, high-pass filter parameters, and pan position.


Multi-Color Illuminating Faders

The faders on the mixer glow different colors to indicate the status of the auxiliary sends, graphic equalizers, and FX sends


Equalizer

The equalizer section of the mixer features high shelf, low shelf, variable Q ranging from 22 to 20,000 Hz


Color Touch Screen

The mixer features a color touch screen for setting up monitoring, labeling, and assigning inserts and patch channels


66 Mix Channels

The mixer offers 66 inputs to mix, all with dynamics, EQ, and routing


ViSi Remote Control

The mixer works with the ViSi remote control app for iPad. This allows you to remotely control the mixer from anywhere in the room over the iPad. Multiple iPads may be used to control different sections of the mixer. To operate the mixer remotely with an iPad, first connect a wireless router to the mixer's Harman HiQnet Ethernet port. The iPad connects to the mixer via Harman's HiQnet network. To create the Harman HiQnet network, you connect a wireless router to the mixer's Harman HiQnet Ethernet port


TOTEM One Touch Easy Mix System

The mixer features a one touch easy mix button that instantly reconfigures the surface and faders of the mixer so that you can mix to an FX, auxiliary, or matrix bus


Assignable Channel Strip

The mixer allows you to select channels and then use the assignable channel strip to adjust input-signal gain, gate, compression, equalization, panning, and output-signal gain. Each rotary knob in the assignable channel strip is correlated to a dedicated function, just as it would be in an analog mixer

35 Busses

For sub-mixes and flexible routing options, the mixer features 35 busses


Global Mode Encoders

A row of rotary encoders at the top of the mixer allow you to always access the gain, pan, and filter controls over any channel on the mixer


Direct Output Gain Stabilization (D.O.G.S.)

When two consoles are sharing the same source, the D.O.G.S. system maintains the same gain structure of microphone in to direct out on both consoles. This is useful when utilizing the mixer to send stage mixes to musicians wearing in-ear monitoring systems. No matter how the levels might be changed on the mixer, the D.O.G.S system will ensure that the direct output level to the musicians remains constant


Lexicon FX Engine

The mixer features four hardware-based Lexicon FX engines, each on its own FX bus. This allows you to perform complex FX signal processing on any channel without running out of system resources. The Lexicon FX engine features over 20 preset stereo effects, accessible via the rotary encoders and touch screen


Graphic EQ

The mixer includes a 28-band graphic equalizer on every matrix, mix, and, main master


Copy and Paste

The copy and paste function allows you to copy all or any part of a channel, mix, buss, or Lexicon effect such as a gate, compressor, or EQ and then paste it onto another part of the mixer


Function Focus

Every time a control is changed or the select key is pressed, the screen will display relevant information about the channel being changed and the absolute values of the controls over that channel

Instant Access Keys

On the front of the mixer is a panel of buttons such as STORE, RECALL, NEXT, MUTE 1-4, TAP TEMPO, and others that provide instant access to basic functions without having to navigate complex menus

USB Setting Storage

The front of the mixer features a USB port that allows you to save mixer settings to a USB memory stick for future use
