Soundcraft
EFX8 & EFX12
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.
The Soundcraft EFX mixer uses
the same AudioDNA® processor featured in many of the
Digitech® and Lexicon outboard equipment including
the highly respected Lexicon MX400 processor. With over
35 years experience, the Lexicon name is synonymous with
the best reverb and processing 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 mixers compact framework which is available in 8
or 12 mono input variants, both 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 gives 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 companys 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 ¼
metal jack connector sockets, RCA phono stereo playback
inputs and record outputs, 3-band EQ with a swept mid on
the mono inputs, 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.
