The Soundcraft EFX 8 MKII offers 8 mono and 2 stereo channels. For the first time in this price range, the GB30 preamp design is used, which is also used in the GB series consoles. These preamps are extremely resistant to overload. They have a control range of 55 dB and provide +22 dB of headroom. A phantom power supply provides condenser microphones of any type with real +48 volts.

The Lexicon effects section is equipped with a high-quality 24-bit processor - the same Audio DNA processor used in the Lexicon MX400, by the way. 32 effect presets are available. These can also be modified and saved by the user in three parameters. A mute function and PFL (monitoring) option and the TAP delay feature optimize the application possibilities.

A 3-band equalizer with tunable mids, two aux busses, insert jacks for the channels and the sum, a 10-way LED chain, jack sockets (Neutrik) and professional XLR sockets complete the extensive equipment.

A switching power supply is integrated. The mains cable socket is positioned in such a way that no additional height units need to be taken into account when rack-mounting.

The Soundcraft EFX 8 MKII is suitable for live sound reinforcement, fixed installations and recording applications.
