I got my new Si Compact the other day and have been playing around with it. It has a lot of really nice features. The best thing I like is how easy it is to use. I had it figured out pretty well in about an hour.
A couple of things I didn't really like right out of the box.....but can live with.
Only 1 BNC light connection. XLR would have been better
No talk back input
Headphone jack is under the left front of the console. I would rather it be top right. Or somewhere on top.
Touch screen is a little small. Not a real big problem after you use it for a while.
Some of the input connectors are at the very bottom on the rear side. You have to prop up the mixer on the case to reach them, or take it out of the case.
Not 4 band fully parametric channel EQ's. Better than what I had before though.
I didn't like having only 22 faders at first. But channels 23-24 are a button push away.
Now the good things:
Very light weight and "compact". It's much smaller than I expected.
Really simple to use. Well planned out.
Graphic EQ's out the wazoo.
14 bus outs.
Seperate stereo inputs for CD or I-pods. Don't have to burn up channels.
USB port.
I'll be taking it out for the first time this weekend. A bit nervous, but should go well. Will report back.
