Soundcraft EFX8 Lexicon Effects Mixer

The EFX8 delivers a compact yet capable mixing and effects processing solution in a format that sits comfortably on any console or standalone setup. Its 60mm high-quality faders and ergonomic 3.6" width make it responsive and immediate to work with, while the integrated 24-bit Lexicon effects processor provides studio-grade sound shaping without external gear. Purpose-built for live sound engineers and studio professionals who need serious effects capability in a tight footprint.

Design & Build Quality

This mixer measures 330mm (H) × 91mm (W) × 362mm (D) and weighs just 4.6kg (10.1lb), making it genuinely portable without sacrificing solid construction. Metal XLR and ¼" jack connectors, plus RCA phono inputs and outputs, ensure flexible integration with standard pro audio equipment and legacy gear alike.

Audio Processing & Effects

Eight mono input channels pair with two stereo channels, each with a dedicated effects send for parallel processing workflows. The built-in Lexicon effects engine includes 32 effects with tap tempo, 3 parameter controls per effect, and user preset storage, while 3-band EQ on stereo channels and 3-band swept-mid EQ on mono channels handle tone shaping. A GB30 mic amp and 48-volt phantom power support condenser microphones, and TRS insert points on each mono channel allow external outboard processing when needed.
