Channel Processing
Inputs
• Analogue gain (remote control of stagebox or local mic preamp)
• Digital Gain Trim (+18/-36dB)
• Delay (0-100ms)
• HPF, LPF (variable 20-600Hz and 1-20kHz)
• 4-band fully parametric EQ, shelf mode on HF/LF.
• Compressor (variable threshold, attack, release, ratio, makeup gain with ‘auto’ mode)
• Limiter (variable threshold, attack, release)
• Gate or De-Esser. Gate switchable to ducker.
• Insert point for external processing.
• Pan – LR or LCR switchable.
• Direct Output, patchable to any I/O and with selectable tap-off point.
Outputs

Control Surface
Inputs
16 input faders, switchable in 4 fixed and 5 configurable layers to access 64 inputs
Widescreen Vistonics™ channel strip interface x controlling 16 input channels at a time.
Fader tray contains motorised faders, Mute, Solo, Isolate and F (user defined) switches, plus one assign-
able rotary encoder with LED display ring. This encoder is globally assignable to Gain, Pan, Gate Threshold,
or one of 2 user-definable parameters.
Input level and gain reduction meters are located above each fader.
Input faders can be assigned to the 8 VCA (control group) masters and/or 4 Mute Groups.
Input faders can be switched to control all 24 Grp/Aux/Matrix Outputs, or can control an individual Aux
send mix, using the switchable ‘Follow Solo’ function. Soundcraft FaderGlow™ clearly indicates using
colours when faders are not controlling inputs.
Outputs
8 assignable Output faders, plus dedicated LR and C Master faders, plus 16 assignable rotary Output
faders. Output faders are colour-coded using Soundcraft FaderGlow.
