Soundcraft Ui24R

We have switch from a Mackie DL1608. To this Soundcraft UI24R.
The difference in sound has been quite remarkable. Vokals and instruments sound much better. The mixer is dead silent. The web-interface seems to have been inspired by the larger SI consoles. It easy to learn but start slow. Besides replacing the old mixer, we have been able to retire our rackmounted headphone amp, our rackmounted DI and our Presonus audio interface. Instead we now use the two headphone, the 2 Hi-Z input and built=in media player. The multitrack record and playback are easy to use. And a fantastic A / B tool for soundchecks.
The reason for giving 4 out of 5 is the built-in WiFi hotspot. One day it works like a charm the next day the iPads cannot find the built-in web server. We use it with IOS devices. For now we bring an extra router just in case, and macbook to hardwire via RJ45.
This is really the only problem we have seen so fat, and it should be solvable using an external router. But It is a Soundcraft the wifi should be as rock solid as the rest of the mixer. Based on what we know now, would we still choose this mixer? Yes without hesitation.

Super lyd, super plugins, super features, utroligt fleksibel og et virkeligt fedt UI.
Jeg har bare desværre måttet sende min 2. af disse retur pga. hardware malfunktion.
Første mixer brændte mine IEMs af med vildt høj digital støj (efter 5 mails til Soundcraft kundeservice og derefter med hjælp fra Thomann kundeservice - afviste de at fejlen var deres).
Den anden mixer er lige stået af i et Jack input.
3 ud af 4 af mine venner med samme mixer har desværre også måttet have deres ombyttet pga. fabrikationsfejl.
Jeg håber at Soundcraft har fået rettet op på kvalitetssikringen, for det er et fantastisk produkt hvis det ikke var for de nævnte fejl.

Super trådløs mixer. Perfekt til mindre bands eller in ear setups. De 8 aux + headphones gør at man kan kører 5 stereo in ear systemer. Smart at alle i bandet uden at have en app kan tilgå mixeren via. deres smartphones og selv justere deres mix. EQ'en er super god og nemt at betjene. DBX compressoren & Gate lyder rigtig godt, kommer dog ikke på højde med premium plugins. Lexicon reverb'en og delayen har en kanon lyd, men kræver lidt arbejde for at være helt optimal. Workflow er nemt og hurtigt at overskue. Ekstern wifi router er en must have.
Alt i alt et super produkt, som kan bruges i mange sammenhæng, kan klart anbefales fremfor lingende enheder på market.

I was looking for a digital mixer to the band. both for the studio and for the road.
I looked at this and the competitors, Behringer Xr18air and Presonus StudioLive Series III 24R, and ended up choosing the Soundstage.
And Boy, am I glad for that. I haven't used it enough, regarding the problems, some are mentioning about the connections - but the build seems to be sturdy and rigid enough.
The overall use, the sound and the feel in general are fantastic.
The two channels with "DigiTech amp / guitar modelling" works fantastic, and our guitarist doesn't use his amp/speakers anymore.
The 20 channels in all, has given us the possibility to mic up everything.
The buildin Eq's, Gates, Comp., delay, reverbs and the feedback supression are working as expected, and settings are saved for different locations/venues, and can be recalled easily, which cuts soundcheck time to a minimum. and the 8 Aux sends has given each of us, our own monitor send - fantastic.
The user interface are easily understandable, and functions are where You'd expect them to be - so very easy to use, also in a live environment.
We are very satisfied - and I give this mixer my warmest recommendations.

Virkelig Vellydende preamps, 4 effekter + 2 kanaler med div guitar simuleringsrack. feedback killer på alle udg. optage på 20 spor + main og daw. Betjenes via fastnet, wifi, HDMI+usb. Jeg anbefaler man bruger en router med gode antenner. Der er masser af hjælp på youtube og facebook gruppe. Chek det ud. Der er fri patching som gør du kan kører indgang 1 på alle kanaler hvis du synes, sub grupper, VCA grupper og AUX som kan bruges til matrix osv. du kan mixe din opsætning næsten fuldstændig efter dit behov og ønske, og have 10 brugere på ad gangen.
Min største anke er at der kun 32 bånd grafiks eq på udgange, jeg vil hellere have en 4x parm eq, især fordi der er feedback killer på alle udg. ku også bruge Chorus i stereo og en digital AES/EBU udgang.
