Soundcraft Si Performer 1 - 16-Channel Digital Mixing Console with 8 Line Inputs and 1 DMX Universe in Black Finish

The Soundcraft Si Performer 1 is a 16-channel digital mixing console that combines professional-grade audio processing with integrated DMX 512 lighting control, making it a game-changing solution for live sound engineers and event professionals. The Si Performer 1 is designed to handle both audio and lighting control in a single, compact unit, reducing the need for multiple control systems. With 16 recallable mic preamps, 8 stereo line inputs, and a DMX universe output, this mixer is perfect for smaller venues, schools, churches, and touring productions that require seamless control over both sound and lighting.

At the core of the Si Performer 1 is the powerful EMMA DSP engine, which offers 40-bit floating-point audio processing and delivers legendary Soundcraft audio quality. Each of the 16 input channels features dedicated processing, including a high-pass filter, input delay, gate, compressor, and fully parametric 4-band EQ. The console's dynamic processing ensures crystal-clear audio, with control over every input and output. Users can easily manage complex audio setups with 14 aux/group mixes, configurable as mono or stereo, and four mix busses dedicated to the built-in Lexicon FX processors.

The inclusion of DMX control within the Si Performer 1 allows you to manage lighting directly from the console, eliminating the need for a separate lighting desk. The console's DMX output can be used to control stage lighting, providing an all-in-one solution for live performances. The console's motorized faders, FaderGlow technology, and console automation system also extend to lighting control, making it easy to manage audio and lighting from a single interface. This unique feature is especially valuable for venues and events where space and efficiency are critical.

The Si Performer 1 offers flexible routing and output processing, with 16 XLR analogue outputs, AES in/out, and two ViSi Connect expansion slots that allow for up to 128 inputs and 96 outputs when combined with optional MADI, Dante, or other digital I/O cards. This expandability makes the Si Performer 1 a versatile choice for larger systems or remote stagebox setups. The MADI card enables multi-track recording and connection to Soundcraft or Studer stageboxes, further extending the console's input/output capabilities.

The console's surface controls include 24 motorized faders with FaderGlow, which provides visual feedback on fader functions with color-coded illumination. The 5-inch color touchscreen makes it easy to navigate settings, patching, and routing, while eight VCAs, eight mute groups, and snapshot control for up to 1000 cues ensure efficient workflow management. The Si Performer 1 also features a USB port for saving and loading shows and settings, allowing for quick setup and recall across different events and venues.

The Lexicon FX section of the Si Performer 1 includes four stereo effects engines with 29 presets per engine, offering professional-grade reverbs, delays, modulations, and pitch effects. These effects are hardware-based, meaning they don't impact the console's overall processing power, allowing for consistent use of dynamics, EQ, and graphic EQs across all channels and busses, even in the most demanding scenarios.

With its compact design, the Si Performer 1 is ideal for mobile setups and small venues, but its extensive I/O options and integrated lighting control make it a powerhouse for larger systems as well. The console's rugged construction and intuitive interface make it easy to use, even for those who are new to digital mixing, while its advanced features cater to the needs of experienced sound engineers. Whether you're running a live show, theater production, or corporate event, the Soundcraft Si Performer 1 offers unmatched flexibility, control, and performance.
