Soundcraft Signature Plus 16 - Professional Analog Mixing ConsoleThe Soundcraft Signature Plus 16 is the latest generation of consoles from the highly regarded Signature Plus series, designed with professional sound engineers, musicians, and content creators in mind. This analog mixing console offers 16 input channels and a fully-featured, richly equipped output section, providing unmatched flexibility and sound quality for its class. It is an evolution of the proven Signature series, combining time-tested, classic solutions with modern functionalities, serving as a true creative hub for studio work, live performances, and live streaming. The console is designed to meet the demands of both experienced audio engineers and beginner artists.

Product FeaturesThe console is equipped with Soundcraft Ghost microphone preamps, which provide smooth, high-gain performance and clean, transparent sound without unnecessary distortion. The Sapphyre EQ is responsible for shaping the tone, known for its musical and natural sound that allows for precise tuning of every audio source. Built-in dbx OverEasy one-knob compressors with harmonic enhancement functionality enable subtle yet effective compression of vocals and acoustic instruments, giving them a professional character. Also onboard is an exclusive Lexicon hardware effects processor with Store and Tap Tempo functions, offering a wide range of professional spatial and modulation effects. Communication with the computer is handled by a 4x4 192 kHz USB-C interface, and the SSM (Simple Success Metering) system ensures precise level visualization on every input and output, significantly simplifying control over the entire mix. Additionally, TRS insert points provide flexible sound-shaping possibilities using external processors.

Creative Capabilities for Demanding EngineersThe Signature Plus 16 is designed to maximize speed and ease of use for the engineer. An intuitive layout with color-coded buttons and touch-sensitive "squircle" knobs allows for quick and confident navigation even during the most intense live work. The Listen bus function enables monitoring of any channel without interrupting the mix for artists and the audience, which is invaluable during rehearsals and concerts. The Talkback To option allows messages to be sent to selected outputs, facilitating communication with the stage crew. Thanks to the Mix to Auxes function and four Aux buses, setting up stage monitoring becomes incredibly simple and fast. The user can fully configure monitor outputs (headphones and control room), selecting sources from the mix, USB, or auxes, and also utilize Mute, Dim, and Mono Sum functions, providing full control over monitoring. Furthermore, the built-in 4x4 192 kHz USB-C interface enables seamless recording and playback with laptops and mobile devices, making this console an ideal tool for hybrid work that combines the analog and digital worlds. This allows you to record tracks directly to a DAW and then play them back through the console, creating a complete production environment.
