Soundcraft FX16ii - The Ultimate 16-Channel Live Sound PA Mixer with FX
In 1997, Soundcraft launched the Spirit FX16, which quickly gained popularity for its 16 direct outputs and built-in effects unit in various applications. 10 years later, Soundcraft gave it an upgrade, bringing it in line with the Soundcraft Professional range, using the latest 24-bit, digital Lexicon effects processor, and creating the Soundcraft FX16ii.
The Soundcraft FX16ii mixer uses the same AudioDNA processor as many Digitech and Lexicon outboard equipment, including the highly respected Lexicon MX400 processor. With over 35 years of experience, the Lexicon name is synonymous with the best reverb and processing in the industry, ensuring top-notch effects not usually found in a console at this price point.
The Soundcraft FX16ii offers a powerful combination of live and recording features. Each channel has a Direct Output that can be individually switched pre or post fader for use with 16-track recording systems. The Lexicon effects work great in both live and recording environments, with a tap tempo function, 3 parameter controls, user effects settings storage, effects clip LED, and 32 powerful and editable effects to choose from.
The use of the latest PCB surface mount technology allows the Soundcraft FX16ii to fit all these features into a rugged, compact frame, which can be optionally rack-mounted into a 10U space via its rotating connector pod, enabling convenient cable connection behind the rack and saving rack space.
