Soundcraft Si1: Digital Live Sound Console
Recent visitors to Factory Sound will have seen a nice shiny addition to our digital mixing console range - Soundcraft Si1 - the small footprint all-in-one digital front of house console for live sound. Theatres, small venues, Houses of Worship, for either permanent installation or touring applications.
A brand new 32 + 4 channel Si1, with a 2nd PSU, all in a toursound flightcase has a Recommended Retail Price of $45,000, and more importantly, we spent yesterday getting to know our newest addition a little more intimately. This means we can help show you around an in-store fiddle if you'd like to check it out more closely, or if you're already a fan of Soundcraft Si series, get in touch with us to book your on-site demonstration.
While you're musing over how powerful this little mixer really is, check out the short Si series videos via Soundraft website.

New: Allen & Heath Zed10FX now in store
What a seriously great little mixer, the new ZED10FX. Awesome for so many reasons. What's your favourite feature? How about the inserts points over main L & R XLR outputs (which, by the way, have a very handy -30dB pad switch of you're using this as a sub-mixer). Separate stereo RCA outputs for Record out and Monitor out. 1 x dedicated Aux, 1 x FX Send (with excellent on-board digial effects, which can be wound easily into the Aux should you want some nice delay and 'verb in your foldback speakers).
Enough about the outputs though, how's the input section! 4 x XLR mic channels with 3-band eq (sweepable mid) and channels 3 & 4 have the very cool feature of a switchable input for using the line inputs as Hi Z guitar DI. Each of the 4 mono and 2 stereo channels AND the FX channel can be sent (by the press of a button) to the Record Bus, which in turn can be sent out of the USB port (or go old school and use the RCA outputs). And there is a playback input for left and right, with dedicated level control down near your monitoring control section. Just about anything is routable just about anywhere in this section. Seriously, it's an awesome little mixer. Come in for a closer look (or just enlarge the pic for the look-but-don't-touch experience)
Read full postSennheiser Wireless Upgraded Capsule Offer e945
It's on again! Back in December, we were lucky enought to grab hold of two magic specials via Sennheiser, and they've reappeared on our 'great deals' radar! Please note, these will be offered for a strictly limited time - while stock is available - and we're not actually sure how long that will be for. Our advice is to definitely get on board as soon as you can, as these offers will probably be taken back off the table in about 2-3 weeks from now (quicker if stock runs out).
Deal 1: EW100G3 series WITH upgraded e945 capsule @ no extra cost
One of the most popular handheld radio mics on the planet EW145G3 is coming with a little bonus. All you need to do is order the stock-standard EW145G3, and advise us that you want a 'capusle ugrade', and instead of the standard '800-series' capsule, you'll get the awesome MMD945 capsule - it's from their e900 series, supercarioid dynamic. On it's own, the MMD945 is valued at $454 (recommended retail price), and if you've had a sing through the wired e945 mic, you already know how good it really sounds.
Limited time SPECIAL PRICE for EW145G3 WITH upgraded MMD945 capsule $909 (order code: EW100-945G3-B)
Deal 2: EW300IEMG3 in-ear wireless WITH extra bodypack and IE4 headphones @ no extra cost
This deal is even better than the one above! Far-and-away our most popular in-ear system, the EW300IEMG3 is (for a VERY limited time) coming with a bonus extra bodypack receiver, plus an extra pair of IE4 headphones. So if you're after 2 sets of in-ear monitors (running off one transmitter), this is definitely for you. Just to put into perspective how good a deal this is, an extra body pack receiver on its own (EK300IEMG3) has a Recommended Retail Price of $949. Yes, it's a great deal. No, there are no catches (other than get in quick before stocks run out).
Limited time SPECIAL PRICE for EW300IEMG3 WITH extra EK300IEMG3 receiver $1429 (order code: EW300-2IEMG3-C)
