[QUOTE="Steve Payne, post: 81576, member: 231"] Re: Soundcraft Si Performer Hi Silas, I had dismissed this product off hand when I saw it marketed as an audio console with built in dmx lighting control. A true bar bands dream come true, but not my market segment. With the introduction of the Expression series consoles, I took the time to reexamine Soundcraft's lower end digital offerings. Perusing the manual and watching the online videos (and for me, ignoring the lighting control :-), the Performer seemed to have a lot of solid features and a very intuitive layout. The one thing that has me smacking my forehead with the butt of my hand is a design that presents 2 less input faders on the surface than mic pres available? Across the lines this equates to 14/16, 22/24, 30/32. Except in the rack mount Expression 1, where physical size is a real constraint, I can see absolutely no reason for the designers choosing to always have the last 2 input channels fall onto the 2nd layer. Am I missing something? At any rate, i would be very interested in your hands on experience when you have the time to post. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
