Soundcraft Si Performer 2 - 24-Channel Digital Mixing Console with 8 Line Inputs and 1 DMX Universe in Black Finish

The Soundcraft Si Performer 2 is a 24-channel digital mixing console that uniquely integrates both professional-grade audio mixing and a built-in DMX 512 lighting controller, making it an ideal solution for live performances, theater productions, houses of worship, and event venues. With 24 recallable mic preamps and 8 stereo line inputs, the Si Performer 2 offers an impressive blend of powerful audio processing capabilities and versatile control over lighting, all in one compact unit. This innovative mixer is perfect for users looking to manage both sound and lighting without the need for separate control systems, streamlining workflows and reducing equipment complexity.

At the heart of the Si Performer 2 is Soundcraft's renowned audio quality, built on the same EMMA DSP platform used in the Si Compact series. Each of the 24 input channels features a dedicated high-pass filter, input delay, gate, compressor, and 4-band fully parametric EQ, ensuring precise control over every audio source. Additionally, with 8 VCA groups, 8 mute groups, and Soundcraft's signature FaderGlow technology, the console provides intuitive, hands-on control, even in the most demanding live situations. The backlit name displays above each channel help ensure you always know what you're adjusting, making it easy to stay organized during live performances.

The Si Performer 2 takes versatility to a new level by incorporating a single universe DMX 512 output, enabling users to control lighting directly from the console. This innovative feature allows audio engineers to also manage lighting, eliminating the need for a separate lighting console. For smaller venues, schools, and touring productions, this integration simplifies setup and operation while reducing the amount of gear required. The DMX control is integrated seamlessly with the motorized faders and automation system, offering flexible and programmable lighting control that's intuitive and easy to use.

In addition to its comprehensive input and lighting control capabilities, the Si Performer 2 offers flexible output processing with 14 aux/group mixes that can be configured as either mono or stereo, as well as matrix mixes that can also be mono or stereo. These mixes are complemented by four Lexicon FX busses, delivering professional-grade reverb, delay, modulation, and pitch effects. With four fully hardware-based Lexicon FX processors, the Si Performer 2 ensures that your effects never overload the system, allowing all dynamics, parametric EQs, and graphic EQs to remain available, no matter how demanding the audio program is.

For further expandability, the Si Performer 2 includes two ViSi Connect option card slots, allowing for up to 128 input and 96 output paths when combined with optional MADI, Dante, BLU Link, or other digital I/O expansion cards. This allows the console to integrate easily with larger systems, multi-track recording setups, or Soundcraft stageboxes, giving you the flexibility to expand your inputs and outputs as needed. Whether you are connecting to a recording system, a remote stagebox, or integrating with a wider audio network, the Si Performer 2 provides extensive connectivity options to meet your needs.

The console's powerful control interface includes 24 motorized faders, FaderGlow for color-coded visual feedback on fader functions, and a 5-inch color touchscreen for easy access to routing, patching, and setup options. The Si Performer 2 also features a USB port for saving and loading shows and snapshots, giving you the flexibility to quickly recall settings for different events or venues. With 16 XLR outputs, AES in/out, MIDI integration, and built-in HiQnet Ethernet connectivity for remote control via the Soundcraft ViSi iPad app, the Si Performer 2 offers unparalleled control over your audio and lighting systems from anywhere in the venue.

With its comprehensive audio processing capabilities, built-in lighting control, and extensive I/O expandability, the Soundcraft Si Performer 2 is a powerful and versatile tool for live sound engineers. Its rugged design, intuitive interface, and legendary Soundcraft sound quality make it a go-to choice for venues, touring companies, and events where seamless control over both audio and lighting is a must.
