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.

Zed10 (without the effects) just arrived
We're big on the mixers this week. Actually, to be a little more accurate, we're big on little mixers this week. Already there has been heaps of interest in the newly released Zed10FX (more here in a previous blog post), and now we've just received a nice shipment of Zed10 - without the in-built effects module.
Of course, the major bonus of not including the effects in this mixer is to keep down the cost down if you don't need effects. This makes Zed10 even more attractive for the stay-in-studio situation.
So for you post production suite or home studio environment, take a closer look at this little ripper. There's a pic here, one here, and another nice one here.
Read full postNew Toft ATB-08: Now in stock!
One of the more exciting releases in recent times (and there have been heaps in mixer-world) was the Toft Audio ATB series. Of course the 24-channel version has been ultra-popular for the mid-sized project studio, but it could by no means be described as compact. So for those who need the great sound, eq and channel flips WITHOUT the real estate requirements, here's a ripper new addition to the series.
ATB08CH is new, and now in stock at Factory Sound. Exactly the same as ATB24CH, aside from the extra 16 channels. Excellent for tracking in the smaller project studio, running your stems through on mixdown, or the all-in-one for projects that don't require so many knobs and faders. No soundcard, no remote control, no motorised faders. Just a great sound in a compact package.
And don't be freaked out that the box it comes in is bigger than you may have been expecting...there is a juicy power supply packed in there, ready to turn on and make some magic with you. Home studio, project studio or busy post production suite - Toft ATB-08 is ready to be your partner.
