Soundcraft Spirit E8 12 Input 8 Channel Mixer
Looking for a simple, easy to use mixer that delivers exceptional audio performance? For recording, live, install or broadcast use there's a Spirit E Series for you. The emphasis with the Spirit E Series is very firmly on quality audio performance, with an easy to understand control surface uncluttered by unnecessary facilities. Mic and line inputs are provided on balanced XLR and 1/4 jack connectors for optimum performance, with the main stereo outputs on balanced XLRs for better integration with other professional equipment. There are also insert points on every mono channel and the mix outputs for external signal processing. Rack Mounting Options Through additional rack ears, the E Series can be quickly transformed into a rack-mounted desk suitable for use on the road or in custom furniture. All four mixers in the range occupy just 9U of standard rack space. Comprehensive monitoring control Because levels are constantly changing throughout the signal path _ from the preamp stage, through filtering and EQ _ the Spirit E Series provides peak LEDs on all input channels. These monitoring LEDs are fed from multiple points in the circuit path to ensure nothing gets overlooked. The main stereo mix has two 10-segment LED meters, with a SOLO indicator to show whether any solo channels or aux masters are being monitored. With all this information instantly available, efficient control is easy to maintain. They also employ proportional illumination to show signal levels when approaching peaks. This feature allows you to maximise the quality of any signal by utilising all of the available headroom.
