The world of live sound is ever evolving, digital consoles adding more and more options in the pursuit of ingenuity and versatility in a user-friendly and foolproof design. Multiple layers of faders offer users seemingly countless options in a small-form package, allowing just about every fader, potentiometer, button and switch to be adjusted or assigned to any function, truly offering a customisable experience. But you know what’s foolproof by design? Analogue consoles. While yes, the pots, buttons and faders on Channel 1 of an analogue console only work for Channel 1, it also means you can quickly adjust problem areas, the console itself offering an overview of your entire mix, or more to the point: mixes.
The Soundcraft Signature Plus 16, part of a larger range of new analogue consoles from Soundcraft, follows this design philosophy and offers every tool that engineers and artists alike could need. As its name suggests, the Signature Plus 16 has 16 channels of audio to be routed to auxiliaries, alt mixes, your own ‘Listen’ mix, as well as Main Mix/front of house (FOH), of course.
