Soundcraft Si Expression 3 Powerful cost effective digital console W/touch screen

If you’re ready to step up from traditional analogue mixing into a professional digital environment—without losing hands-on control—the Soundcraft Si Expression 3 is the console that makes that transition powerful, intuitive, and future-proof. Built on more than a decade of Soundcraft’s digital mixing expertise, the Si Expression 3 delivers serious live sound performance in a cost-effective, compact format trusted by engineers worldwide.

At the heart of the Si Expression 3 is sheer mixing muscle. With 66 inputs available to mix, 32 recallable mic/line preamps, and 30+2 motorised faders, this console is designed for demanding live shows, houses of worship, theatres, touring rigs, and installed sound systems where flexibility and reliability matter. Every model in the Si Expression range shares the same professional feature set—so you’re not paying for compromises, only choosing the fader count and I/O scale that suits your workflow.

What truly sets the Si Expression 3 apart is that every channel gets everything, all the time. Each input features a high-pass filter, input delay, gate, compressor, and a full 4-band parametric EQ, all powered by Soundcraft’s legendary EMMA™ DSP engine. There’s no juggling resources, no assigning from limited processing pools—everything is always available, exactly when you need it.

Mixing is fast, logical, and confidence-inspiring thanks to Soundcraft’s “1 Control = 1 Function” philosophy. Unlike menu-heavy digital desks, the Si Expression 3 feels instantly familiar, even to analogue engineers. Dedicated controls, a colour touchscreen, and Global Mode encoders for Gain, Pan, and HPF mean less screen diving and more time focused on the sound. Add TOTEM™ (The One Touch Easy Mix), and with a single button press the console reconfigures itself to mix to any Aux, FX, or Matrix bus—making monitor and effects mixing incredibly efficient.

Speaking of buses, the Si Expression 3 is built for complex routing. You get 14 flexible Aux/Group mixes, 4 Matrix mixes, dedicated Left, Right, and Centre buses, plus four stereo Lexicon® FX buses. Every bus includes its own compressor, 4-band EQ, BSS® graphic EQ, and delay—again, with no limitations or trade-offs. And because the Lexicon effects are hardware-based, you can run lush reverbs, delays, and modulation effects without impacting the rest of the console’s processing power.

Visual clarity is another strong point. Soundcraft Fader Glow™ uses colour-coded illumination to show exactly what each fader is controlling—Aux sends, FX, GEQs, stereo channels, and more—so you’re never guessing, even in high-pressure live situations. Features like Security Lockout, D.O.G.S. (Direct Out Gain Stabiliser), copy-and-paste functionality, and instant access keys further reinforce how thoughtfully this console is designed for real-world use.

Future expansion is seamless thanks to the 64×64 ViSi Connect™ option slot, allowing integration with Dante™, MADI, BLU Link, USB/FireWire/ADAT, AVIOM™, CobraNet™, and Soundcraft or Studer stage boxes. Add a stage box and you don’t just gain more inputs—you actually increase how many channels you can mix simultaneously.
