SoundCraft Signature 12 12-input Compact Analogue Mixer with Effects

All Soundcraft Signature Series consoles incorporate Soundcraft's iconic Ghost mic preamps, directly drawn from the company's top-of-the-line professional consoles, to deliver extraordinary audio quality with high headroom, wide dynamic range and exceptional resolution and clarity with a superb signal to noise ratio. They employ Soundcraft's Sapphyre Assymetric EQ for perfectly equalizing every vocal and instrumental element in a mix with the unmistakable musicality inherent in every Soundcraft console, plus the GB Series audio routing technology famous in thousands of live venues worldwide.

They all include a wide variety of built-in Lexicon studio-grade reverb, chorus, modulation and other effects and dbx limiters on the input channels. The consoles offer XLR and switchable Hi-Z inputs that enable guitars, basses and other instruments to be directly connected.

All the consoles come with a 2-in/2-out USB interface. Accompanying the consoles are free downloads of the Lexicon MPXL native plug-in and Ableton Live 10 Lite.

In addition, the consoles feature smooth, premium-quality faders with GB Series audio routing with flexible pre/post switching on each Aux, and subgroups with powerful routing and switching options as well as dedicated outputs. The Signature Series are built using tour-grade robust metal construction and top-quality components and have an internal universal power supply.

Ghost pre-amps
The Soundcraft Ghost console's ProMic mic pre-amp is known for it's ultra-low noise and high headroom, making high gain settings possible, without compromising signal integrity.

Sapphyre British EQ
The Soundcraft Sapphyre console Asymmetric EQ makes both creative and functional tonal shaping of your signal simple and intuitive. The EQ behaves differently in cut and boost, making tonal adjustments musical, and focusing cuts where they are needed. The Soundcraft Signature console uses a special Asymmetric EQ first developed for the renowned Soundcraft Sapphyre console. This EQ makes both creative and functional tonal shaping of your signal simple and intuitive - an EQ that works the way music does.

The shelving bands of the EQ (LF and HF) use a slight boost at the EQ's frequency when cutting, and a slight cut when boosting. For low frequencies, a slight cut when boosting prevents muddiness in he signal, while a slight boost when cutting enables you to clean up the low end without losing precious 'punch' and 'body' of the signal. For the HF shelf, a slight cut when boosting prevents harsh resonance at the EQ's frequency, and a slight boost before a cut can help maintain brightness while reducing HF. The mid-band (bell-shape) has a wide bandwidth (low Q) when boosting, and a narrower bandwidth (high Q) when cutting. The wide boost prevents prevent harsh resonances and tonal-changes that allow for a more pleasing and musical EQ boost. The Narrow cut focuses on problematic frequencies, for getting rid of resonances, rings, hums, and preventing feedback. If this was too wide you could remove too much 'body', creating a thin sound.

GB Routing
The GB Console legacy is in Signature's signal routing. There is pre/post switching for all aux busses, plus flexible routing and dedicated outputs for sub-groups.
