Review: How to choose between the Soundcraft Impact, Expression, and Performer - TL;DR: The Impact has 24 channel faders with programmable scribble strips, but lacks the Expression/Performer per-channel Gain/Pan encoders. If that's not enough faders , you get 6 more with the Performer 3 or Expression 3 (if you don't care about scribble strips). Don't buy a Performer 2 or Expression 2, the Impact is cheaper and better. The Soundcraft Si Impact is a worthy update of the Soundcraft Si Performer 2. Like the Performer, the Impact has programmable scribble strips on all channel faders and selectable bandpass/shelving filters on Hi and Lo EQ bands. However, the Impact has 32 XLR inputs on its back panel, compared to 24 on the Performer 2. The Impact also has 24 channel faders compared to the 22 channel faders on the Performer 2, but the Impact lacks the rarely used DMX controller features of the Performer. The one downside of the Impact is its lack of per-channel Gain/Pan encoders. Virtually all other features of the Impact and Performer 2 are identical, including the touch screen, which takes up more real estate on the Impact, but works exactly the same as the Performer. Aside from the Impact's missing row of Gan/Pan encoders, the only significant reason to prefer Performer over the Impact is the 30 channel faders offered by the Performer 3. As for the Expression, it has all Performer features except the programmable scribble strips, bandpass option on Hi and Lo EQ bands, and the DMX controller. Of these, the lack of scribble strips is IMO the crucial flaw of the Expression. One of the standout features of the Soundcraft Si consoles is their brilliant implementation of motorized fader banks, which enable you to switch fluidly between the board's 4 input channel banks, 14 submixes, 4 effects busses, and 4 matrix mixes. But what makes this elaborate mechanism practical is the instantly updated text labels displayed on the channel scribble strips. Without that essential feature, Expression users must resort to manual aids to recall which inputs are routed to each of the faders in each fader bank. What makes the Impact and Performer models so flexible is the ability to quickly map ANY input channel, submix master, or VCA to any channel fader on any of the four fader banks. This allows you to quickly group channels and submixes in any order you prefer, any time you feel like it. No awkward eight-channel block boundaries, no artificial fader-assignment limitations, no deep dives into nested menu layers - you can literally put anything anywhere you want it. The Soundcraft Si was one of the first full-featured digital consoles on the market, and while its utilitarian touch screen is outdated, its ingenious design and intuitive user interface have set a standard that remains best in its class. Review: Don't listen to the negatives... - I've been in church music for 25+years and have been around every kind of mixer you can imagine. The Expression 3 is as good as it gets for hitting the main marks of 1) Digital console, 2) motorized faders, 3) Budget-friendly, 4) ease of use (with a little help from someone who knows the mixer), and 5) compact. TONS of YouTube videos on how to set it up and use it to its potential. We moved up from a PreSonus and could not be happier. ## Features - 32 mic inputs - 8 XLR/1/4" Combi-jacks for line inputs and instruments - 40 DSP input channels (32 mono inputs and 4 stereo channels/returns) - 31 output busses (all with full DSP processing and geq) - 4-Band fully parametric EQ on each channel and bus ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00XJFITDS | | Audio Input | XLR | | Best Sellers Rank | #131,870 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #292 in Unpowered Recording Mixers | | Brand | Soundcraft | | Brand Name | Soundcraft | | Connectivity Technology | XLR, 1/4" Combi-jacks, USB, Stagebox | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 15 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00668705001632 | | Item Type Name | Soundcraft Si Impact 40-Channel Digital Mixer Console with Remote iPad Control | | Item Weight | 44.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | JBL | | Number of Channels | 32 | | Output Connector Type | XLR | | Output Connector type | XLR | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 714573524176 615435498225 668705001632 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Soundcraft is a trading division of harman international industries ltd .
