Soundcraft LX7ii-24 24-Channel Mixer

Full Description

The legacy continues

The Soundcraft LX7. A staple in the hands of mixing and sound engineers all over the world. Now you can experience everything that you loved about the LX7, but with added enhancements for true high-performance mixing. The LX7ii not only retains the rock-solid reliability that made its predecessor an instant classic, but improved audio specifications combined with innovative design elements from Soundcraft's MH3 and MH4 touring consoles make the LX7ii an incredibly powerful tool for a huge variety of applications. Perfectly suited for live performance, installed systems, and more. This 24-channel mixer gives you phenomenal sound quality with outstanding precision, as well as an intuitive control surface and a durable construction.

GB30 preamps and EQ

Designed by the founder of Soundcraft himself. The GB30 mic preamps and EQ sections give you precise, transparent audio for any situation. The 4-band EQ boasts swept mid-sections, and have been modeled after the highly acclaimed EQ from Soundcraft's MH3 and MH4 touring consoles. It features a steeper than usual slope on the fixed LF and HF sections, whilst helping to eliminate any mid-frequency mud for a pristine sound. This high-end EQ section combined with phenomenal mic preamps ensure that your Soundcraft LX7ii delivers the best possible audio quality without compromise.
