The legendary British sound
From humble beginnings in London more than 40 years ago and still designed and engineered in the UK, Soundcraft defined the term ‘British sound’ in live sound mixing consoles. Acclaimed Ghost mic preamps and our Sapphyre ‘British’ equaliser ensure the Signature range carries the Soundcraft signature sound today.

It’s no secret that great sound starts with a great microphone preamp. Inheriting technology from our top of-the-line professional consoles, our acclaimed Ghost mic preamp delivers stunning audio fidelity and class-leading performance, with high headroom, wide dynamic range and superb signal to noise ratio.
