About the Soundcraft LX7ii Series 32CH 32x4/4/3 32-Channel Console
The Soundcraft LX7ii Series 32-channel console is a substantial analog mixer designed for serious live sound applications in medium to large venues. Its specification, "32x4/4/3," indicates 32 input channels, 4 subgroup buses, 4 auxiliary sends, and a stereo main output, complemented by a 3-band matrix. This flexible architecture provides engineers with extensive control for managing complex productions, allowing for logical subgrouping of instruments, creation of multiple independent monitor or effects mixes, and separate zoning of front fill, balcony, or delay speakers via the matrix outputs. The console is built around Soundcraft's respected low-noise microphone preamplifiers and a discrete Class-A output stage on the master bus, ensuring transparent and powerful sound reproduction.
Each input channel features a comprehensive 4-band equalizer with two swept mid-frequency controls for precise tonal shaping and feedback elimination. The four auxiliary sends are configured as two pre-fader (typically for monitors) and two post-fader (ideal for effects), all stereo-capable. The console's surface is logically organized into distinct sections for inputs, groups, masters, and matrix, supported by clear metering and a flexible solo system, enabling an efficient and confident workflow. With its robust steel chassis and reliable internal power supply, the LX7ii 32-channel is built for both touring durability and installed reliability, offering professional-grade sound, extensive routing, and straightforward analog operation for demanding environments.
