PAGE 4/5 Si2 rear panel view Just plug it in where your analogue console used to be With no external processing rack, an Si Series console simply plugs in where your analogue console used to be, immediately delivering the full power of a sophisticated digital live sound mixer with no need for new fibre snakes or stage boxes. [. . . ] It's everything you need, when you need it, where you need it. PAGE 12/13 As easy to use as analogue, with all the digital benefits Easy to plug in. But of course it delivers all the benefits of sophisticated digital mixing including fully integrated dynamics processing, graphic EQ on every output bus (removing the need for external patching) and dedicated FX returns. Cue lists allow you to recall preconfigured settings instantaneously, and a single key stroke is all it takes to copy and paste entire channel settings across the console. And the SI can store more than 1000 snapshots of all settings. PAGE 14/15 The show must go on From the theatre to the concert stage, the Si places the operator in total control. How you mix is up to you ­ personally, we'd put our VCA groups on the central faders, with dynamics and EQ immediately accessible above. Edit, rename and keep the show under control. With the unique Global/Channel modes and Centre section, you can simultaneously work on, for example, input EQ, output dynamics, Matrices, and channel monitor sends. PAGE 16/17 Isn't it cool when the world's leading effects companies are in your group The Si includes no less than four in-built Lexicon processors with immediate access to key functions and instant expansion to control every parameter. And while we're on the subject of our friends, dynamics processing is derived from dbx technology while industryleading BSS Audio 30-band graphic equalisation is available on all group/aux busses, matrix busses and main LCR outputs. PAGE 18/19 Set up the show, on the way to the show With Virtual Si on your PC laptop you can set up the show offline, pulling in settings from previous show archives and loading new data into the console using a USB stick. The virtual interface is identical to the console layout, so Virtual Si also makes a great tool for training and gaining familiarity with the Si mixing environment.
