| Content | Venice is Midas\' first truly compact console built in direct response to customer demand.
It does exactly what was asked in that it provides a high quality alternative in a huge number
of applications where previously Midas was not an option. These range from smaller conference
or live band applications, to effects returns or additional inputs in a large multi-console application,
or indeed as part of a small complete mobile system. It also provides the perfect feature set
for live acts who need to mix their own FOH and monitor sound from on-stage, and is compact
and light enough to fit on even the most cramped performance area. As usual, Midas has
paid attention to the details that set their consoles apart taking care to provide high quality mic
preamps and a stable, responsive EQ section, just as they do on their larger consoles. The simple
but intuitive outputs make the overall configuration of the console extremely quick and easy to use.

The LX7 combines the essential Soundcraft live mixer qualities
with basic recording-oriented features, in a compact frame that's
light enough for one person to carry yet easy to configure and use.
This makes it especially suitable for multi-purpose use in venues
such as small halls and community centres, while its direct channel
outputs make the LX7 an ideal choice for bands who need a live desk
that can double up in the studio.
Housed in a choice of 16, 24 or 32 channel frame, LX7 provides 24,
32 or 40 inputs - with no less than 7 separate bus outputs including
mix, 4 groups and a dedicated mono bus for centre speaker clusters,
side or rear fills. The output count rises to 29 with the inclusion of direct
outs on the first 16 mono inputs and six auxiliary busses.
LX7's balanced mic inputs all use patented Ultramic preamps,
providing 60dB of gain range and 22dBu of headroom. Each input
also includes 4 band EQ with two swept mid frequency controls.
In addition, EQ In/Out switch and steep 18dB/Octave High Pass Filter,
allow effective audio control in difficult venues whilst the six auxiliary sends
are pre-post switchable in pairs from each channel, providing a maximum of
4 pre-fader and six post-fader. This makes LX7 equally applicable
for foldback - heavy performance or in situations where more effects are required.
LX7's groups section houses two further stereo inputs - with EQ, auxiliaries
for keyboards or stereo recording devices - as well as two FX returns. All four
groups are routable to mix and include 12 segment bargraph metering for
accurate monitoring and inserts. Six auxiliary masters on rotary controls also
included AFL soloing.
In the master section there is talkback provision to all pre-fade auxiliaries and
the mix. Global phantom power and a two track return for pre-show music are
also present. A "two-track" to mix switch allows the engineer to play CD's over
the main PA whilst back-stage set-up is going on, with one press of a button.
The mix is also routable to the separate mono bus if mono PAs are required.
LX7 is built in a rugged wedge-shaped steel chassis with an internal power supply,
professional all-metal jackfield and connectors on the rear of the console. All inputs and outputs are balanced.
Applications:
* Gigging Bands
* Small installations
* Small venues
* Theatres
* Houses of Worship
* Live and studio recording
* 100mm faders
* +48V phantom power
* 16, 24 or 32 channel frame sizes
* Up to 40 inputs (including stereo inputs and returns)
* 18dB/octave high-pass filter
* 6 aux sends, 4 of them pre/post switchable
* Group and mix inserts
* 12-segment LED metering
* Integral PSU

The Soundcraft GB-2 (2-bus) 24 Channel Console is designed for installed sound and A/V applications that donʼt require all the sophisticated functionality of the GB4 and GB8.
However the Soundcraft GB-2 24 Channel Console is a genuine GB Series console in every respect, with sound quality assured by GB30 Mic Pre and Equaliser designs, and reliability by the same rugged build quality that has made the GB4 and GB8 so dependable in demanding professional applications.
Along with six Aux busses and an integral 6 x 2 matrix, four subgroups are provided as two stereo pairs, with a unique facility for adjusting the width of the stereo signal across the stereo mix. The channel pan settings are retained on the group outputs, while the degree of stereo separation to the mix bus is independently adjustable from full stereo through to mono.
The GB2 also features two stereo input channels, with separate mic and line inputs. In normal use, the mic inputs are routed to the local channel and the line inputs act as a stereo return to the mix bus. Selecting the line input to the local channel overrides the mic inputs.
The Soundcraft GB-2 (2-bus) 24 Channel Console Main Features Include:
- 24 channel frame size
- 12 busses
- 2 full feature stereo channels
- 2 stereo returns (on stereo channels)
- 6 Aux sends
- 4 sub groups (paired)
- 6x2 output matrix
- GB30 mic preamp and precision equalisation circuitry
- Direct outputs on every channel
- Talkback facility
- 100mm faders
- Switchable 48V phantom powering on every channel
- 100Hz high pass filter
- 12-segment LED metering
- Record output
- Width: 1013mm (39.88“)
- Weight: 25kg (55.1lbs)
| Low-cost high-performance mixers
Soundcraft have unveiled another addition to the rapidly growing new Soundcraft family, the multi-format low-cost EPM mixers.
The emphasis with the Soundcraft EPM is very firmly on quality build and audio performance, with an easy to understand control surface uncluttered by unnecessary facilities, and Soundcraft have brought new technologies and ideas to this very cost-effective range. Surface mount technology is used throughout, using close-tolerance components for high accuracy and repeatable settings for EQ and gain controls. 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 consoles) features high-resolution adjustment over a wide gain range of 55dB, and provides a stunning +22dB headroom through the console. True professional 48-volt phantom power caters for condenser microphones of all types.
A unique feature of the signal monitoring is the PEAK led. This uses multipoint signal take-offs to watch for overload in several parts of the channel strip, and the led lights more brightly as the signal approaches the peak point. For smooth and accurate channel control, the EPM has 60mm high quality faders as used on other Soundcraft desks. The monitor output and headphone output work in parallel so that performers can still listen on phones while an engineer is listening on studio monitors.
Other Features:
- Frame sizes 12+2
- 2 configurable auxiliary buses
- XLR-type and Ό� metal jack connector sockets
- RCA phono stereo playback inputs and record outputs
- 3-band EQ with a swept mid on mono inputs
- 2-band EQ on stereo inputs
- TRS insert sockets and inserts on all mono inputs and mix output
- Ten-segment LED output metering
- Intuitive and comprehensive solo system
- Headphone output
- Easily rack mountable
