Soundcraft

Why do musicians choose Soundcraft?

Soundcraft has built its reputation on professional mixing consoles, exceptional sound quality and intuitive workflow. Founded in Britain in 1973, the company has spent decades developing mixing desks for live sound, recording, touring and installed audio, with Soundcraft consoles used by musicians, engineers and venues around the world.

Known for its distinctive British sound, Soundcraft combines high-quality microphone preamps, musical EQ, practical routing and robust construction. From compact analogue mixers for small performances and home studios to powerful digital mixing systems for professional live sound, Soundcraft offers solutions for a wide range of musicians and audio engineers.

Soundcraft Analogue Mixers

Soundcraft analogue mixers are renowned for combining straightforward hands-on control with excellent audio quality.

The popular Signature family brings technology developed for Soundcraft's larger professional consoles into a more compact format. Features across the range include Soundcraft Ghost microphone preamps, Sapphyre British EQ, Lexicon effects and dbx dynamics, providing musicians and engineers with the tools required to shape a clean, detailed and musical mix.

Smaller Soundcraft mixers are ideal for solo performers, bands, rehearsal rooms, podcasts and compact studio setups, while larger models provide the additional channels, auxiliary sends and routing required for more demanding live performances.

Soundcraft Digital Mixers

Soundcraft digital mixers combine professional processing and flexible routing with the convenience of digital control.

The Soundcraft Ui Series takes a particularly flexible approach, allowing the mixer to be controlled remotely using compatible computers, tablets and mobile devices. This makes it possible to adjust a live mix from different positions around a venue rather than remaining permanently beside a traditional mixing console.

For larger productions, Soundcraft's professional digital console technology provides advanced routing, processing and workflow options designed for live venues, touring productions, theatres, houses of worship and other demanding applications.

Soundcraft Mixers for Live Sound

Live sound has been at the heart of Soundcraft since the company was founded, and its mixers are designed around the practical requirements of musicians and sound engineers working in real-world environments.

Clear channel layouts, flexible auxiliary routing and accessible controls help engineers make adjustments quickly during a performance, while durable construction makes Soundcraft mixers well suited to regular gigging and venue use.

Whether you're mixing a singer-songwriter, full band, rehearsal space, venue or complete PA system, the Soundcraft range includes options for both straightforward plug-and-play setups and more advanced multi-channel productions.

Soundcraft Mixers for Recording

Many Soundcraft mixers also provide USB audio connectivity, allowing them to become part of a computer-based recording setup as well as a traditional live mixing system.

Selected models offer multichannel recording capabilities, making it possible to capture individual sources into a DAW for further editing and mixing. This is particularly useful for bands wanting to record rehearsals or live performances, as well as studios that prefer the tactile workflow of a physical mixing console.

Soundcraft's combination of analogue-style control and modern digital connectivity makes its mixers a strong choice for setups that need to move easily between live performance, rehearsal and recording.

Soundcraft British Sound

A major part of Soundcraft's identity is its long-standing approach to microphone preamps and EQ.

Soundcraft's acclaimed Ghost mic preamps are designed to provide high headroom, low noise and a wide dynamic range, while the company's Sapphyre British EQ is designed for musical, responsive tone shaping.

Many Soundcraft mixers also incorporate processing technology from other professional HARMAN audio brands, including Lexicon effects and dbx dynamics. This gives musicians and engineers access to high-quality reverbs, delays, modulation effects and dynamics processing directly from the mixing console without necessarily requiring additional outboard equipment.
