Soundcraft by Harman
Engineers and musicians could now transport a robust, reliable, and ready-to-use console from venue to venue with far greater ease, helping to set new standards for live sound production.
From these early beginnings, Soundcraft has steadily grown to become a leading global name in both digital and analogue mixing consoles. Its products are now widely used in touring productions, theatres, houses of worship, performance venues, broadcast environments, and recording studios. The brand has earned a strong reputation for delivering consoles that combine sound quality, reliability, and intuitive operation, making them a trusted choice for audio professionals in a wide range of applications.
Design and innovation have always been central to Soundcraft’s philosophy. Rather than simply following trends, the company has consistently sought to define them, introducing a series of iconic consoles that have left a lasting mark on the industry. Models such as the Broadway, Sapphyre, GB Series, MH Series, Vi Series, Si Series, Signature, and Ui ranges illustrate this ongoing commitment to meeting the real-world needs of engineers working in demanding live and studio environments.
Through its close relationship with sister console company Studer, Soundcraft has also been at the forefront of several key technological developments that have influenced how mixing consoles are designed and used. Together, they have been responsible for innovations such as the patented FaderGlow technology, which uses colour-coded illumination to provide clear visual feedback, and the Vistonics user interface, which integrates controls directly into the display surface for a more intuitive, hands-on mixing experience. Both of these advancements were created with a single goal in mind: to make the engineer’s job easier, reduce the learning curve, and allow users to focus more on creativity and sound, rather than on wrestling with complex equipment.
