Soundcraft SI Expression 3

Barry Gilmour

The fader channels illuminate in different colours to organise FX, Stereo, Linked Mono, GEQ, POST Fade Aux, and PRE Fade Aux, there is a BSS GEQ on every bus for plenty of processing and a nice clear touch screen.

In the ever-expanding world of digital mixing consoles, it's a wonder each manufacturer doesn't have a university course for their proprietary operating systems. It's imperative therefore that any new digital consoles on the market be as user-friendly and intuitive as possible before anything else. That's where the Soundcraft Si Expression 3 comes in, a neat package, with a true everything everywhere set-up. The effects are hardware-based and the console has internal Lexicon hardware with a variety of effects. Above each channel is a rotary knob, which can be gain, HPF or pan, and each button is just as it would be on an analogue mixer, one function per control.
