Soundcraft Si Performer 2 - Digital Mixing Console with Integrated DMX/Lighting Control

Soundcraft Si Performer Digital Mixing Console for Live Sound, Theater, and Recording

The Soundcraft Si Performer mixing consoles are professional digital mixing consoles designed for live sound, FOH, monitor applications, theater, permanent installations, and recording. The series is available in three chassis sizes: the compact 19-inch rack-mount Si Performer 1 with 16 mic preamps, the Si Performer 2 with 24 mic preamps, and the Si Performer 3 with 32 mic preamps.

Digital audio technology with integrated DMX512 lighting control

A standout feature of the Soundcraft Si Performer series is its built-in DMX512 interface. This allows sound engineers to control small lighting setups directly from the mixing console—either manually or via scene automation. As a result, the Si Performer combines professional audio mixing with practical lighting control in a compact system.

Powerful DSP processing and intuitive operation

With 80 mixing console channels, 32 mix buses plus LCR, 40-bit floating-point processing, and an intuitive user interface, the Soundcraft Si Performer delivers tremendous performance for complex setups. The assignable channel strip provides direct access to the preamp, compressor, gate, fully parametric 4-band EQ, pan, delay, and routing for the selected channel.

Fader Glow, One Touch Easy Mix, and Global Mode

The proven Soundcraft Fader Glow System illuminates the fader tracks in different colors depending on their function, ensuring maximum clarity during mixing. With One Touch Easy Mix, channel signals can be routed to mix buses extremely quickly, speeding up workflows and reducing user errors. Global Mode provides access to key parameters such as gain, pan, and high-pass filters at any time.

Lexicon Effects, BSS Equalizers, and Professional Signal Processing

For high-quality audio processing, the system features 4 Lexicon effects processors, BSS FCS-960 graphic EQs, compressors, gates, delays, and fully parametric 4-band EQs. All buses are equipped with delay, EQ, compressor, and BSS graphic EQ—ideal for live sound reinforcement, monitor mixes, and sophisticated installations.

Expandable with stage boxes, recording cards, and digital I/O cards

Thanks to two optional card slots, the Soundcraft Si Performer can be flexibly expanded. It supports connections to external Soundcraft and STUDER stage boxes, recording systems, and digital I/O cards for AES/EBU, MADI, Aviom, CobraNet, RockNet, Dante, BluLink, FireWire, USB, and ADAT. The MADI/USB combo card allows for the simultaneous connection of a stage box and recording via USB.

Remote Control, Offline Editor, and DOGS Gain Stabilization

The ViSi app allows you to conveniently control Soundcraft Si Performer mixing consoles remotely via iPad. In addition, the Offline Editor lets you create show files, routings, and labels on a computer. For FOH, monitor, and recording applications, DOGS—Direct Out Gain Stabilization—provides gain compensation that balances changes made to the analog gain control on the digital direct out.
