[QUOTE="Michael John, post: 130271, member: 830"] Re: Soundcraft SI Expression I just bought the Expression 2 and I really like it. Simple layout and very simple operation which is perfect for all the novice operators at church. Just a few gripes... 1) ALL the fader knobs are loose, apparently by design. If I was to turn the console over - not that anyone would - they would almost fall off. And any pressure on the upper or lower part causes them to tip and lift off. 2) It's a little ambiguous how long the soft power button needs to be pressed to turn the console on. I'm sure I'll get used to it. Once I held it down for too long and the console dropped into firmware upgrade mode. 3) Only stereo inputs - TRS 1/2, 3/4, and effects returns - can be assigned to a single input fader. All other stereo stuff is done by linking a pair of channels, which wastes a fader. Soundcraft, if you allow it for TRS inputs, why do you prevent linking two XLR inputs and assigning them to one fader? And furthermore, why can XLR inputs only be linked 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 etc... Why not allow arbitrary adjacent linking including 2/3, 4/5, 6/7 ...? These days with DSP, this shouldn't be a problem. [/QUOTE]
