Soundcraft SI-PERFORMER-1 User Manual

DIGITAL FX GRAPHIC EQS DYNAMICS ADVANCED DSP

Combining legendary Soundcraft sound quality with a
massive mix capacity and intuitive operation, Si Performer
1 delivers 448 rack units of DSP in a compact,
rack-mountable surface.

Sitting where a plethora of gear once
was, the Si Performer 1 includes
sophisticated 4-band fully
parametric EQ, full dynamics
processing, a comprehensive
range of output options, totally
flexible routing and, as with all
Soundcraft consoles, an
unmatched range of options to fully
integrate the Si Performer 1 into an
existing system or become the centre of a
thriving new installation.

The possibilities are endless, from theatre productions to gigging bands and music venues, houses of worship to
corporate events and installed AV systems, any ‘single operator’ application in which powerful digital audio mixing
is a pre-requisite can now be enhanced with integrated lighting control.
