INTRODUCTION

ongratulations on your purchase of a SPIRIT 8 mixer. Owning a Soundcraft console

brings you the expertise and support of one of the industrys leading manufacturers

and the results of over 22 years experience supporting some of the biggest names in the

business.

has been built to the highest standards using quality components and employing automat-

ed assembly techniques beyond the reach of most manufacturers of compact mixers.

A rugged steel chassis is combined with moulded side trims to give protection and

distinctive appearance. Custom moulded controls, designed for the best `feel and visual

clarity complement the styling, resulting in a truly professional product which is ideal for

both touring and fixed PA installations.

SPIRIT 8 is available in 16, 24, 32 & 40 channel frame sizes. All frame sizes incorpo-

rate removeable side cheeks to enable the console to be fitted compactly in a flight case.

SPIRIT 8 incorporates circuit technology identical to that used on some of the most

sophisticated Soundcraft consoles, including new surface mount component techniques.

The input channels are able to accept a wide range of Microphone and Line level signals

from separate input sockets. Every channel features the new UltraMic+ input with

wide range gain control, Phase switch, 4-band Equalisation with swept Hi and Lo Mid

ranges, plus a Hi-Pass Filter, 6 Auxiliary Sends (2 pre-fade, 2 pre or post and 2 post-

fade), PFL(Pre Fade Listen), Peak LED, Panning to a Stereo Bus and routing in pairs to

eight Output Groups. Each channel has a separate Direct Output and is controlled by a

high-quality long throw fader. All input channels may be assigned to a choice of four

Mute Groups.

All frame sizes are provided as standard with 2 dedicated stereo inputs. Each stereo

input comprises two separate input sections, one provided with comparable facilities to

the mono inputs, and one more basic input for a cassette or CD player which routes to

the stereo mix and two of the Aux outputs only.

The eight Output Groups provide submixing to the Mix L/R, either as stereo pairs or

as mono sends to L & R. The Group outputs are available on separate connectors to feed

external equipment directly. Each Group section incorporates matrix sends, PFL moni-

toring & bargraph metering. Eight external Stereo Return inputs are provided for effects

or submixing from external sources and these route to Mix or to a pair of Groups.

Two Matrix outputs receive sends from each Group or Mix L & R as required.

The Master section provides master level control for the Left, Right, Matrix and

Auxiliary Send buses, with separate AFL monitoring on each Matrix and Auxiliary output.

The Mix L/R and Group outputs all have insert points for the connection of external

signal processing or graphic equalisation.

Comprehensive Talkback facilities are provided, which allow a talkback microphone

to be routed to Mix L/R, Groups and Auxes 1-2 or 3-4. Ten 12-segment, 3-colour peak

reading LED bargraph meters provide clear display of Mix L/R, Group and PFL signals.

Pressing any PFL or AFL switch puts the selected signal onto both sides of the head-

phones output and the L & R bargraph meters in place of the Mix signal. Two LEDs mon-

itor the status of the console power supply.

SPIRIT 8 is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, but a few minutes spent read-

ing through this manual will help you become familiar with the product away from the

pressure of a live session, and allow you to gain full benefit from the superb performance

offered by your new mixer.

Above all, remember that your SPIRIT mixer is designed to extend your creativity.

The more you explore the controls and the effect they have on the sound output, the

more you will appreciate how you can influence and enhance the final sound.

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF PA MIXING

here was a time when the P.A. system and the operator existed only to increase the

overall volume of the performers, so that they could be heard in a large room or

above high ambient noise levels. This just isnt true any more. The sound system and the

sound engineer have become an integral part of the performance, and the artists are

heavily dependent on the operators skill and the quality of the equipment.

The following introduction to the basics of mixing are included for the benefit of

those users who may not have any significant familiarity with sound equipment, and who

are baffled by the endless jargon used by engineers and artists alike.

The Mixer

As one would expect, the main purpose of the mixer is to combine sounds, but under

precise control. This is why long-throw faders are essential on any professional mixer, to

give a responsive and smooth feel to the operator. The faders provide you with clear

and instinctive control of the final sound balance and like an artist playing an instrument

you should listen to the effect of your fader movements, not look at your hands.

Your SPIRIT 8 mixer accepts a wide range of input signals via the UltraMic+

microphone input, for very low level signals, or a line input, for higher level signals from,

for instance, tape machines, effects processors, etc.

The mixer is split into two sections. The Inputs receive, match and process individ-

ual source signals, and distribute them at precise mix levels to either a stereo Mix output

or to one of the Groups. The Master section allows overall level control of all outputs,

and provides monitoring of the audio signal at many points in the mixer, either on head-

phones or meters.

The Equaliser controls are the most flexible and potentially destructive feature of

the mixer. They have a similar effect on the frequency response of the input channel as

the tone controls on a hi-fi system, but with much greater precision, and allow particular

characteristics of the input signal to be emphasised or reduced. It is very important that

you become familiar with the effect each control has on the sound and this is best

achieved by spending time listening to the effect of each control on a well-known track

played through the mixer. An EQ IN/OUT switch is ideal for checking the difference

between the original and equalised signals.

The Auxiliary Sends provide a way of routing the input signals to a number of sec-

ondary outputs, for artists foldback, echo units or additional speaker outputs.

The Pan control adjusts the position of the input signal within the stereo mix, and

can be swept from full left, through to full right. This allows particular artists to retain

their correct spatial position within the mix, and can be valuable for live effects.

Pre-Fade-Listen(PFL) allows you to monitor the signal at many points in the mixer.

Pressing any PFL switch places the signal at that particular point onto the headphones

and the right meter, to check the quality of the signal or to pin-point problems. Using

PFL will not affect the signals on the outputs from the desk.

Each mono input channel and the Mix and Group outputs have an Insert `A gauge

jack socket, which is a break point in the signal path. It allows the signal to be taken out

of the mixer, through an external piece of equipment and then back into the mixer

directly after its original exit point. The Insert point is normally bypassed by the `A

gauge jack socket contacts, and is only brought into operation when a plug is inserted.

Typical uses would include Effects Processors, Limiters, additional Equalisers or Delay

units. In addition, each channel has a Direct output which may also be used to feed

external equipment such as multitrack tape machines or effects devices.
