Highlighted Advantages:

Legendary British sound:
From its humble beginnings in London over 40 years ago, and still designed and engineered in the UK, Soundcraft defined the term 'British sound' in live sound mixing consoles. Acclaimed mic preamps from Soundcraft co-founder Graham Blythe, along with his 'British' EQ, ensure the Si Impact maintains the Soundcraft sonic signature to this day.

Beyond analog control:
Combining "one button, one function" control with unique features like FaderGlow™, Soundcraft combines analog workflow with digital flexibility. FaderGlow™ illuminates the fader track in different colors, providing immediate status feedback on what the fader is controlling: aux sends, effects sends, or the graphic EQ available on each bus.

World-class effects and dynamics:
The Si Impact not only boasts massive DSP power, but also includes digital effects from industry-renowned experts. This includes studio-quality reverbs, delays, and modulations from Lexicon, legendary dynamics from dbx, and industry-standard BSS graphic EQs.

Put your I/O where you need it:
With built-in connectivity for an optional Soundcraft stagebox, the Si Impact lets you place your I/O wherever it's needed. Set up your stagebox next to the band for live applications or place it in the recording room for studio applications, all with a single Cat 5 cable.

Pristine audio direct to your DAW:
The Si Impact makes recording quick and easy thanks to its built-in recording quality with 32-in/32-out USB. A single connection to your PC or Mac and you're ready to record multitrack directly into any digital audio workstation (DAW).

Remote Mixing with your iPad®:
The Si Impact's mixing power is accessible from anywhere in the venue using the Soundcraft Remote app for iPad®. Mix from the audience location, set up monitors from the stage, or allow musicians to adjust their own monitor mix from multiple iPad® devices.
