Soundcraft Efx 8

Essential Information About the "8 Mono Channels, 2 Stereo Channels, Lexicon FX" Mixing Console

• 8 mono inputs + 2 stereo channels with 3-band EQ and semi-parametric mid for precise mixing live or in the studio.


• Built-in 24-bit Lexicon effects engine: 32 effects, Tap Tempo, editable parameters, and user presets.


• GB30 microphone preamps offering a wide dynamic range (+22 dB) and professional 48 V phantom power.


• Road-ready construction: inserts on each channel and on the Master, 60 mm faders, metal XLR and 6.35 mm Jack connectors, RW5745 rack kit included.

A Series Inherited from Sound Reinforcement References

Derived from the EFX series, this console incorporates the proven ergonomics of the EPM models while integrating a 24-bit Lexicon effects processor. The GB30 preamps-identical to those in the LX7II and GB series-ensure clean gain and a wide headroom before saturation. Precision components and a progressive clipping LED guarantee reliable level adjustment on each channel.

Designed for Stage, Installation, and Home Studio

Compact and intuitive, it is aimed at bands, houses of worship, schools, bars/venues, mobile DJs, and home studios. The 2 auxiliaries allow management of both stage monitors and effects, while the rack-mountable format simplifies transport and integration into flight cases.
