Soundcraft Ui12 5-stars Reviews

Small but powerful

Soundcraft have certainly made a nearly perfect mixer. The sound quality is on point, and the feature set is amazing.

The fact it uses a web based app makes using the mixer snappy and easy to control from anywhere in the room.

I don't like that the mixer has physical controllers for the main outputs.

I totally recommend this mixer but i would consider the Ui16 purly because i wish i had more channels.

Bang for your buck

I wanted to ditch our Allen & Heath desk in favour of something smaller an lighter, so I decided on this. Does exactly what I need it to do. The only slight annoyance i've had is that the headphone outs only seem to work when there is also a main out also connected. Other than that, it's top notch.

Brilliant mixer at a great price

Can't believe how affordable these are. If you can make do without physical control of levels, the features packed into this are unmatched at this price. I've had no problems with the wifi or other aspects, and the recent addition of recording capability is a welcome update.

Absolutely unbelievable but has a mojar flaw.

This is a 2nd review of the Ui after using it for a while.

On my first review I said that the mixer is fantastic, yes it still is. BUT here's the downside..

There can be an issue with wifi signal strength and loss of signal and this happens on most units by the looks of things with some owners plugging in external routers to overcome this problem or having to use a wire to connect.

The bigger issue is a lock up or crash of the unit where all sound is lost until the unit is rebooted, this can happen at any time and with warning. Some owners have had no problems at all yet others have had to have there's exchanged as the frequency of lockup is too much.

If Soundcraft can sort this problem out then this is one excellent mixer but until then you'll be rolling the dice every time you use it and if you're on a paid gig you may not want to run the risk.

Wonderful!

This is an amazing mixer. Good pres, full dynamics & proper parametric eq on every channel, global verb, chorus and delay, and 31 band graphic on all the major outs.

It's quiet, and tiny. Also you can connect to it from anything with WiFi and a browser.

It has a full music file player (for backing tracks or between-track music) and your settings for the whole mixer can be saved and recalled.

It really is a step change in small mixer technology, and great quality. It feels roadworthy. Very highly recommended.

Small with big characteristics !

O.K, there are no buttons and sliders but you have parametric eqs , dynamics and effects , to each one channel plus to the master and aux lines. The sound is very good , not great and there is a little noise when the channel gain is high (i hope it will be improved with a future upgrade). The user interface is very easy , fast , clever and accurate. If you can afford the difference prefer the ui16 model with more inputs and outputs.
