Soundcraft Si Performer 3 Digital Live Sound Mixer

The Si Performer 3 commands with an intuitive workflow that feels natural whether mixing a small club gig or mid-sized theater production. The motorized channel strips respond with satisfying tactile precision, giving real-time visual feedback that makes mixing feel less like operating a computer and more like playing an instrument. This is the mixer that rewards understanding while remaining instantly playable for engineers who want powerful tools that don't get in the way of the music.

Mixing Capacity & Signal Flow

With 80 channels to mix, the Si Performer 3 handles complex multitrack sessions without compromise. The 14 aux/group mixes (configurable as 14 mono, eight mono plus six stereo, or variations between) plus four matrix mixes and 20 sub-group/aux busses provide the routing flexibility required for intricate live sound designs and broadcast applications.

Processing & Effects Architecture

Every input channel includes dedicated high pass filter, input delay, gate, compressor, and parametric EQ for transparent shaping at the source. Four stereo Lexicon FX processors based on the acclaimed MX400 deliver studio-grade effects, while EMMA™ DSP processors handle the heavy lifting across the entire signal chain with transparent, professional-quality processing.
