The Ui series mixers are compatible with iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OS and Linux devices and can operate up to 10 control devices simultaneously. In addition, the Ui12 and Ui16 feature built-in HARMAN signal processing from dbx, DigiTech and Lexicon, including AFS2, DigiTech Amp Modeling and more. Both models feature fully programmable remote controllable mic gain and phantom power, 4-band parametric EQ, high-cut filter, compressor, de-esser and gate on the input channels.
Both mixers offer a 31-band graphic equalizer, sound gate and compressor on all outputs, and a real-time frequency analyzer (RTA) on the inputs and outputs. Three dedicated Lexicon FX busses are built in: Reverb, Delay and Chorus. In addition, mixer controls include Subgroups, Mute Groups, and View Groups, among others. Ui Series mixers feature full recall of Show/Snapshot settings with recall safes. Security lock features allow you to customize device access to only specific functions and mixes as needed. Both mixers also offer independent network interfaces for simultaneous Wi-Fi and Ethernet control, and a rugged chassis.
The Soundcraft Ui12 features four XLR combo mic/line inputs, four XLR mic inputs, two channels of Hi-Z/instrument inputs, and a stereo RCA line input. Included is a 2-channel USB media player, two balanced XLR Aux outputs, two quarter-inch headphone outputs with level control, and balanced stereo XLR outputs and quarter-inch master outputs. Two-channel USB audio playback is compatible with MP3, WAV and AIFF formats.
Integrated Wi-Fi
No keys. No unsecured connections. Don't worry. Using Ui, you can forget about configuring an external router. There is a built-in WiFi module on board, thanks to which you are able to wirelessly control the functions of the mixer. You can also use a wired Ethernet connection, dedicated to older devices without a wireless connection
Up to 10 devices can be connected simultaneously
You decide which device has full access. Connect up to 10 devices and assign each a separate range of access to parameters. This allows musicians to control their monitors without interfering with the main mix. A revolutionary solution that will provide even better, faster and more efficient organization on stage
Legendary audio processing
When you choose a Soundcraft mixer, you are always in good company. Turning on the Ui, dbx®, Digitech® and Lexicon® confirm their presence, i.e. premium effects that serve with their unique, legendary quality. Become a sound connoisseur! dbx® gives you advanced dynamics processing and feedback suppression, Digitech® gives you Amp/Stompbox and modeling, and Lexicon® gives you three stunning effects: Reverb, Delay and Chorus.
Powerful digital features
Each input in the Ui offers full audio processing per channel. This means you'll get great sound on any connected instrument and mic. 4-Band Parametric EQ, High Cut Filter, Compressor, De-Esser, Noise Gate and/or 31-Band Graphic EQ… Use what you need! In addition, for convenience of use, you can create subgroups or mute groups.
Save perfectly matched settings
The Snapshot system allows you to store not only settings for entire performances, but also individual songs. Need more subdued sounds for an acoustic ballad? No problem! You can load saved settings with one button. A moment later, a strong rock track will enter again, and you will return to the previous configuration without stress.
Uncompromising connections
The Ui Mixer comes with all the connections you need. XLR combo and mic inputs, stereo RCA and dedicated Hi-Z input, optimized for acoustic, electric and bass guitars. Outputs include balanced XLR and 1/4" master outputs, XLR AUT and headphone jacks. What's more, there's also a USB port for 2-channel playback and recording straight to storage devices (recording includes Ui16 only)
