The Si2 comes in a smaller footprint than its bigger brother, and has 48 mic inputs mapped on 24 faders (the Si3 has 64 inputs), but this is where the differences end. The Si2, like the Si3, has four dedicated Stereo Line channels, four dedicated FX Returns from the four stereo Lexicon FX processors, eight balanced insert sends and eight balanced insert returns. Si2 is complete with 24 Group/Aux busses available at all times, eight matrix busses and a full complement of monitor talkback and main bus outputs.
Like the Si3, the Si2 uses a combination of rotary encoders and OLED screens on every channel. Four assignable on-board Lexicon effect engines supplement four stereo inputs. With all input and output connections and power supply on board, the Si2 can simply drop in where an existing analog console sits, utilizing existing copper cable snakes and splitter systems. It is priced at $26,000.
