WORLD CLASS MIXERS
TEXAS
The Spirit range from Soundcraft rates among the world's best selling series of compact mixers. Designed by sound industry legend, Graham Blyth, the multi-award-winning Spirit range is unique in providing professional features and sound quality at a price everyone can afford. Every console in the Spirit range is designed to incorporate the warm, British EQ that has made Soundcraft, the leading name in live, studio and broadcast mixing for nearly 30 years. Soundcraft has always been at the forefront of console design and since the Spirit range's inception in 1991 it has been responsible for many of the sound industry's most groundbreaking products including the award-winning Digital 328 (the latest generation of which is the 328XD) and, of course, the original Spirit console that launched so many imitations. [. . . ] Maximum 22dBu of headroom.
Auxiliary Masters
3 rotary controls govern the output levels from the impedance-balanced auxiliary outputs. Pre/Post button switches all Aux 2 signals between post- and pre-fader.
Equaliser Section
Steep 18dB per Octave 100Hz High Pass Filter. Q = 1. 5.
Mono Output
Impedance balanced 1/4 inch jack provides a mono sum from the mix. Rotary control alters output level.
Auxiliary Section
3 flexible auxiliary controls: Aux 1 is pre-fader/post EQ for foldback or stage monitor mixes, with Aux 3 set postfader/post EQ as an effects send. Aux 2 is post-fader/post EQ but switchable pre-fader/post EQ from the master section.
Submix Outputs
Two impedance-balanced 1/4 inch jacks with 100mm faders. For recording a group of instruments or for controlling a separate amp/speakers in a live setup.
Mix Outputs
The MIX L & R outputs are taken from two impedance balanced XLR connectors, with two insert points available. Mix level governed by two 100mm faders.
Routing Section
The Pan control positions the signal in the stereo image. PFL switch allows you to solo the channel pre-fader.
Phones
For headphones of 200 Ohms or greater. Rotary control for headphone volume or monitor outputs.

In a world full of cheap compact mixers, Soundcraft has achieved something exceptional with the Spirit M Series. Suited to a wide range of live sound applications, the Spirit M Series delivers a great-sounding, reliable performance, gig after gig, mix after mix. A mixer for life.
Sonic integrity through design
Through a fresh and innovative approach, Soundcraft designers have created a mixer that rivals the sonic performance of many high end live consoles. Attention to detail in the design of the Spirit M Series makes mixing a positive pleasure. A no-compromise approach to circuit design and to the quality of the components throughout has resulted in a console that delivers exceptionally low noise and crosstalk figures. Mic and line inputs are provided on balanced XLR and 1/4" jack connectors for optimum performance, with the main stereo outputs on balanced XLRs for better integration with other professional equipment. There are also insert points on every mono channel and the mix outputs for external signal processing.
MAIN FEATURES
Built for all eventualities
Live sound reinforcement requires different mixes a stereo master mix for the audience and one or more monitor mixes for the performers on stage. When a venue uses multiple fill speakers, delay should be added to speakers that are closer to the listener. The direct outputs on the Spirit M Series can be used to record each of the mono input channels to a multitrack recorder. Each direct output can be individually switched to be pre-fade, ensuring the signal at these outputs remains unaffected by any movements of the channel faders during the live performance. [. . . ] Negative gain means a signal reduction.
Outboard processors
Strictly speaking, any effect or other processor but the term more usually refers to processors such as compressors, equalisers or exciters, through which a channel or mix bus signal passes. Compressors and equalisers are usually connected to a mixer via insert points, which break the internal signal path so that it can be routed out and back via the outboard.
Balanced
A method of audio connection which balances the sound signal between two wires and a screen which carries no signal. Any interference is picked up equally by the two wires, but the signal on one wire is out of phase with the other, which means that when they are recombined the interference is rejected.
Gate
Short for noise gate. An electronic device that mutes the signal path when the input signal drops below a threshold level. [. . . ]
