Legendary Soundcraft analogue sound

At the heart of the Signature Plus 16 are Soundcraft Ghost microphone preamps, delivering smooth high-gain performance with rich harmonic character. Combined with Soundcraft's musical Sapphyre EQ, the console provides flexible tone shaping for vocals, instruments, microphones, and other audio sources.

Whether you're mixing a live band, recording in the studio, producing a podcast, or managing audio for a livestream, the Signature Plus 16 combines professional sound quality with the immediate hands-on workflow of an analogue mixing console.

Built-in dbx compression

Integrated dbx one-knob compressors with harmonic enhancement provide straightforward dynamic control without requiring complicated menus or additional processing equipment. They're particularly useful for applying gentle compression to vocals and acoustic instruments, helping maintain controlled and consistent levels within a mix.

TRS insert points provide further flexibility for integrating external signal processors when more extensive or creative sound shaping is required.

Exclusive Lexicon hardware effects

The Signature Plus 16 features a dedicated Lexicon hardware effects processor built directly into the console. The updated effects section includes preset Store and Tap Tempo functions, providing greater creative control and making it easier to configure effects for different songs, performers, and applications.

With professional Lexicon processing available directly from the mixer, effects can be incorporated into live and studio mixes without relying on additional external hardware or software.

4x4 USB-C 192kHz audio interface

Modern connectivity comes from an integrated 4x4 USB-C 192kHz audio interface, enabling high-quality recording and playback with compatible laptops and mobile devices. This allows the Signature Plus 16 to operate as both a traditional analogue mixing console and the centre of a modern computer or mobile-based production setup.

USB inputs can be routed directly into channel strips or used to override the mix for applications such as break music and DJ sets, providing additional flexibility for live performances, recording, streaming, and hybrid workflows.

Four Aux sends and flexible monitoring

With four Aux sends and Soundcraft's Mix to Auxes workflow, the Signature Plus 16 provides versatile control over monitor mixes and additional outputs. This makes it suitable for applications where performers, musicians, engineers, or other users require dedicated monitoring feeds.

User-configurable monitoring controls include independent headphone and control room outputs with Mute, Dim and Mono Sum, alongside the ability to monitor Auxes, Listen, Mix, or direct USB returns.

Pro Listen bus and Talkback To routing

A dedicated Pro Listen bus allows engineers to monitor channels without interrupting the main mix being heard by performers or the audience. This provides a professional workflow for checking individual sources and making adjustments during live performances and recording sessions.

Talkback To routing enables talkback communication to be sent to a user-selected range of outputs, providing greater flexibility when communicating with musicians and performers.

Simple Success Metering

Extensive SSM (Simple Success Metering) provides clear visual feedback across both inputs and outputs. This end-to-end metering makes it easier to understand signal activity and levels throughout the console, helping engineers identify potential issues and maintain an effective gain structure.

Intuitive professional workflow

The Signature Plus 16 features a clean, purpose-driven layout that separates the console's creative input and flexible output sections for fast and confident navigation. Colour-coded buttons and tactile “squircle” knobs make important controls easy to identify and adjust, including when working in low-light or high-pressure environments.

Smooth, premium-quality faders provide precise hands-on level control, maintaining the tactile workflow expected from a professional analogue mixing console.

Designed for studio, stage and streaming

With 16 input channels, professional analogue processing, USB-C recording, extensive monitoring, onboard Lexicon effects, and flexible routing, the Signature Plus 16 is designed to work across a wide variety of environments. It can serve as the centre of a live sound system, recording studio, rehearsal space, podcasting setup, livestream, or hybrid production workflow.

A front-panel QR code provides instant access to training videos, manuals, and support resources, while rack-mount ears are included for integrating the Signature Plus 16 into compatible permanent and portable installations.
