About the Soundcraft Si Expression 2 24-channel Digital Mixer
The Soundcraft Si Expression 2 is a compact yet fully-featured digital mixing console that provides 24 input channels in a single-space rack-mountable or tabletop form factor. It is engineered to deliver the workflow advantages and sound quality of larger digital systems in a package suitable for touring bands, fixed installations, and rental houses. The console is built around Soundcraft's premium SuperAnalogue™ microphone preamplifiers, ensuring that every input benefits from transparent, high-headroom gain staging. Its digital engine provides full processing on every channel, including parametric EQ, dynamics, and delay, alongside dual Lexicon multi-effects processors for professional reverb and delay.
Control is centered on an intuitive user interface featuring a high-resolution color touchscreen flanked by dedicated rotary encoders and buttons for immediate access to channel parameters. Ten 100mm motorized faders provide tactile control over channels, groups, and auxiliaries, with banks seamlessly switching to access all inputs and mixes. The console offers extensive digital connectivity, including an integrated 18x18 USB audio interface for multi-track recording and playback, and an expansion slot for optional digital I/O cards like MADI or Dante, enabling integration with digital stage boxes and network audio systems.
The Si Expression 2 strikes an ideal balance between power and portability. Its robust metal construction ensures roadworthiness, while its comprehensive feature set—including flexible routing, scene memories, and remote control via tablet or computer—makes it capable of handling sophisticated audio productions. For engineers seeking a digital console that offers professional sound quality, recallable settings, and scalable connectivity without the size and complexity of a larger surface, the Si Expression 2 presents a compelling and versatile solution.
