| Another church installation here ... I helped replace and old Yamaha one with this Soundcraft and even with very poor horns and amps the difference in audio 'quality' (I think I mainly mean clarity and noise) was noticable. And of course you get that magic Soundcraft colour scheme on the controls ... ! | |

| I purchasd one about a month ago and I am really enjoying the board. The eq section has saved my butt already on an old snare track that I had recorded very poorly. I was able to put some life back into it. For the money, I couldn't find anything better. | |

| The LX7 is a very nice mixer. It has the same pres as the Spirit line which are warm and rich. I've installed about 5 in churches and sold 20 or so and everyone loves them. It willl be money well spent for live use and even in the studio if you need that many channels. | |

| As some of you already know I just bought a SoundCraft LX7ii and last night I got to take the new board out for its first show. It was only an elementary school play but none-the-less gave me a chance to test this bad boy out. WOW One of the first things I noticed about this board was how quiet is it. Those "Graham Blyth designed pre's" really are more than just a marketing gimic; there's really a lot of headroom with these things. I also noticed how smooth the faders and pots feel. I've mixed on both a MixWiz 2 and 3 as well as a GL2800 and this board definitly has smoother fades (not that the GL's are harsh by any means - I really like that board a lot as well, it just wasn't in my price range.) Everything was very responsive to the touch. Tom had mentioned this when I was looking into this board and I definitely have to agree that it seems to be a "bright" board; but in a very good way. The highs and hi mids are very clear but in no way harsh sounding - something that I was running into two weeks ago when I was mixing with a 2800 on the exact same rig! The low and low mids were nice and punchy. It's really easy to get a good mix on this board because of how simple it is to make each channel stand out. I was running a choir (two boundary mics) and 5 wireless (E6's on the two leads and lavs for the rest) and the vocals sounded amazing; each was unique and "stood out" with no muddle in the low mids. | |

| Do note that do to this unit's great flexibility, you need to know what you are doing, or hire someone who does. Great flexibility means more complicated. Still, most everything is intuitive to someone who knows mixers. The one thing missing that you might get on, say an Allen and Heath is modular channels that let you replace just one channel if it fails. But the A&H is $1K more! This is a pro-console at a terrific price! | |
