Drawing on more than a decade of experience in the field of digital audio mixing, the Soundcraft® Si Expression 2 exploits some of the newest DSP, component technology and manufacturing techniques. Each console in the range is identical in its feature set so your only choice is how many faders and local mic amps you want. With a range covering the super portable 19" rack mount Expression 1 to the mighty Si Expression 3 with its 30+2 faders and 32 mic/line inputs there is a model to meet all needs.
The Si Expression 2 features 24 recallable mic pre amps (16 on Si Expression 1 and 32 on Si Expression 3) plus 4 line inputs, 4 internal stereo FX returns, AES in, and a 64x64 expansion slot offering more than enough scope to use every one of the 66 input processing channels. Every input processing channel has dedicated processing for high pass filter, input delay, gate, compressor and four band EQ whilst keeping it under control is a comprehensive automation system augmented with four mute groups and FaderGlow™ to light the way so you are never lost.
