| The 12-Channel Soundcraft EFX mixer uses the same
AudioDNA processor featured in many of the Digitech and Lexicon
outboard products, including the highly respected Lexicon MX500
processor.
The Soundcraft EFX Series combines all the features
of the popular Soundcraft EPM mixer with a built-in 24-bit, digital
Lexicon effects processor, expanding the Soundcraft low-cost,
multipurpose compact range.
With over 35 years of experience,
the Lexicon name is among top creators of reverb and processing
equipment in the business, ensuring the finest quality effects not
usually found in a console at this price level.
The Effects
section fits neatly into the mixer's compact framework, with 2 stereo
channels and an effects-send on each channel. There are 32 effects to
choose from with a tap tempo function, 3 effects parameter controls,
and a user effects setting store facility. An effects channel level
clip LED and Mute function give the user even more flexibility.
The
emphasis with the Soundcraft EFX is very firmly on quality build and
audio performance, with an easy-to-understand control surface in line
with the Soundcraft professional range. The Soundcraft EFX uses the
highly transparent GB30 Mic amp (designed by Graham Blyth for the
company's 30th anniversary, and also used on the larger LX7ii and GB
Series professional consoles). The Soundcraft EFX also offers all the
features of the Soundcraft EPM, most notably a configurable aux send,
XLR and 1/4" metal jack connector sockets, RCA phono stereo playback
inputs and record outputs, a 3-band EQ with a swept mid on the mono
inputs, a 3-band EQ on the 2 stereo inputs, TRS insert sockets, inserts
on all mono inputs, ten-segment LED output metering and a headphone
output.
The Soundcraft EFX will find itself in many applications
including live music, recording, houses of worship and multi-speaker
installations.
