| The 8-Channel Soundcraft EFX mixer uses the same
AudioDNA processor featured in many 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.
