The Soundcraft
Si3 is designed for live use on both touring sound systems and in
fixed installations and its intuitive operation and high input and bus
count makes it a perfect choice for House of Worship sound systems.
Theatre users will also find the Soundcraft Si3 very applicable in
their area.
Soundcraft has revisited the control topology employed on the
ground-breaking Spirit 328 and 324 digital consoles, and made it even
easier. The model is this - above each fader is a rotary encoder, the
function of which changes according to the mode selected. This ‘bank’
of encoders, known as the VCS or Virtual Channel Strip can be set to
control every function of a channel (known as Channel mode), so mic
gain, EQ, dynamics, auxes, panning are all controlled as if you had a
normal analogue channel strip laid sideways in front of you. The VCS
also incorporates all the switching you would find on an individual
analogue channel strip (48v, Phase Reverse, EQ In etc.).
Alternatively, in what is called Global mode, each encoder controls
the same function for each channel. So, for example, the encoders
could control all the mic gains, pans or a chosen Aux bus (very useful
for creating monitor mixes).
