Founded in 1973, Soundcraft first made its mark with the launch of the Series 1, the first mixing console in a flightcase. From what was then a small company in central London, Soundcraft expanded and started to diversify. The company designed a mixer for recording - the Series 2 - and began to build a reputation for great-sounding desks, which is often referred to as the favoured ‘British Sound’. Design and innovation has always been one of Soundcraft’s major strengths. It now boasts a range of mixers which are designed for use in live sound, recording, post-production, TV and radio production and club applications.

The new 4-band EQ with swept mid sections is based on the highly acclaimed EQ in the new MH3 and MH4 touring consoles. The GB30 mic preamps on the LX7ii possess much of the quality and precision of the mic preamps used on Soundcraft’s biggest touring desk, while still being cost sensitive.The GB30 EQ gives a steeper than usual slope on the fixed LF and HF sections, removing unwanted mid-frequency “mush” and delivering a clearer sound.
