General
The Soundcraft Si Impact is a digital mixing console for those who are looking for a powerful all-in-one live mixing solution. With 32 microphone inputs, 8 of which can be used as line or instrument inputs, this console offers space for a generous set of audio sources, and you can easily allocate inputs, buses and groups to the channel strips. There are 24 physical channels, but thanks to the ingenious layer functionality and motorised faders, you can actually multiply that number by four. Furthermore, the Si Impact possesses studio-quality effects and EQs, a 32/32 USB interface for multi-tracking and reproduction, and a digital stage box connection.
Si Impact: Quality and Innovation
Soundcraft began making live mixers 40 years ago in London, giving meaning to the term 'British sound' in the process with their high-quality preamps by co-founder Graham Blythe and, of course, their British equalizers. With their excellent audio quality as a stable factor, Soundcraft equips their mixers with modern technology for a mixing experience that's as smooth as possible. To do this, Soundcraft has integrated the FaderGlow system, a channel strip that lights up in a colour that corresponds with the function you're working with at that moment, such as aux send, FX send or EQ.
Accessible and Professional
Next to its extremely accessible design, the Si Impact has a wide array of possibilities, with motorised faders, Fader Layers, channel screens, a 5-inch touchscreen and a comprehensive section for controlling gate, compressor and equaliser. With an iPad, you can even control your Si Impact from a distance. When it comes to sound, Soundcraft has included amazing preamps and high-quality Lexicon reverbs, delays and modulation effects. The dynamic dbx tools and the BSS equalizers deliver a professional live sound.
Tips or comments about this product- Please note: with the new Si Impact 2.0 firmware update the number of channels can be doubled.

De effecten die er inzitten zijn ok, je kan voor deze prijs natuurlijk niet verwachten dat deze klinken zoals een echte Lexicon van een paar duizend euro's. Enige minpuntje volgens mij: de knopjes op de faders zitten te los, je raakt ze makkelijk kwijt.
Duidelijke overzichtelijke indeling die snel te begrijpen is.
Als je van analoog naar digitaal mixen overgaat, heb je het grootste gedeelte binnen 30 minuten onder de knie.
De effecten zijn prima.
De tafel klinkt erg goed op mijn Martin Audio set.
Ik heb getwijfeld tussen deze tafel en een X32 van Behringer.
Op de X32 zitten meer mogelijkheden maar is onoverzichtelijk (veel sub menu's) en klinkt minder goed.
Daarom heb ik gekozen voor de Soundcraft Si Impact
Een absolute aanrader als je overstapt naar digitaal.
Kijk naar de promo video van Bax shop daar wordt al veel in uitgelegd over deze top tafel

Voordelen:
Een sympatieke poging om veel voor weinig geld te produceren
Nadelen:
E.q.: alle parameters gaan in stappen, dus de juiste frequency (peak) is niet scherp in te stellen
bij het zgn. curve-screen geen waardes / cijfers
Compressor: ratio geeft niet goed aan hoe de verdeling is
Delay: gaat maar tot 500 ms
Display: touch-screen reageert erg langzaam; Querty keyboard is te klein, zelfs voor mijn normale vingers
Effects: echt de meest uitgeklede Lexicon programmas die je maar kunt krijgen: armoedig
Effects kunnen niet naar/ achter elkaar doorgelust worden (w.s. om feed-back lussen te
voorkomen, maar dat had ook anders gekund)
Hardware-matig: al die drukknopjes geef ik geen twee jaar normaal gebruik; wat als één of meer
belangrijke het begeven?
Visueel: een iets te schreeuwerige kermis attractie, hoewel het er iets beter uitziet dan de Si Expr.
Geluidskwaliteit: geen idee, ik knapte reeds af bij bovenstaande punten en heb de Midas M32 gekocht tja: andere prijs, maar wel een mixer!
