Soundcraft Si Performer 1 - Mixing console with built-in lighting controller

The Soundcraft Si Performer 1 is a compact digital mixing console that integrates, for the first time in a small form factor, a DMX 512 controller for managing sound and lighting from a single device. Featuring 16 local microphone preamps with +48 V phantom power, 8 stereo line inputs, and processing power equivalent to 448 rack units via the EMMA™ DSP, this console delivers professional performance for touring, churches, theaters, and corporate events. Its “One Control=One Function” interface and motorized faders with FaderGlow™ ensure a smooth, clutter-free user experience, while the color touchscreen makes all mixing functions easy to access.

Equipped with two ViSi Connect™ slots (64x64 and 64x32) for Dante®, MADI (optical/CAT5), BLU Link, Aviom®, CobraNet® and other cards, the Si Performer 1 achieves a total of 80 mixing channels. Each channel features a high-pass filter, delay, gate, compressor and 4-band parametric EQ. Buses include 20 auxes/subgroups, 4 Lexicon™-based FX, 8 matrices, 8 VCAs and 8 mute groups, plus LCR buses with compressor, parametric EQ, GEQ and delay on each.
