I N TRO D U C TI O N
Congratulations on your purchase of a SPIRIT LIVE 4 mixer.
Owning a Soundcraft console brings you the expertise and
support of one of the industry’s leading manufacturers and
the results of over 20 years experience supporting some of the
biggest names in the business.
Designed by engineers who understand the individual needs
of musicians, SPIRIT LIVE 4 has been built to the highest
standards using quality Japanese components and employing
automated assembly techniques beyond the reach of most
manufacturers of compact mixers.
A rugged steel chassis is combined with moulded side trims
to give protection and distinctive appearance. Custom
moulded controls, designed for the best ‘feel’ and visual
clarity complement the styling, resulting in a truly
professional product which is ideal for both touring and fixed
PA installations.
SPIRIT LIVE 4 is available in 12, 16, 24 and 32 channel frame
sizes, and the 12 and 16 channel sizes may be extended by
adding an 8 channel Expander. The Expander can be attached
quickly and securely to the console, requiring only a
screwdriver to complete the installation.
SPIRIT LIVE 4 incorporates circuit technology identical to
that used on some of the most sophisticated Soundcraft
consoles. The input channels are able to accept a wide range
of Microphone and Line level signals from separate input
sockets. Every channel features wide range gain control and
Line input pad, 3-band Equalisation with swept Mid and LF
range, plus a Hi-Pass Filter, 5 Auxiliary Sends, PFL(Pre Fade
Listen), Peak LED, Panning to a Stereo Bus and routing in
pairs to four Output Groups. Each channel has a separate
Direct Output and is controlled by a high-quality long throw
fader.
All frame sizes are provided as standard with dedicated
stereo inputs, arranged in pairs. One pair is included on the
12 channel frame and two pairs on all other frame sizes. Each
stereo input includes a 2-band EQ and a single auxiliary send
control with switching which allows prefade or postfade
sourcing with access to three of the five Auxiliary busses. The
stereo channel signal may be routed to either the Mix output
or to Groups 1 & 2 (upper) or Groups 3 & 4 (lower).
