Soundcraft Signature Plus 22 — Flagship Analog Console With Modern USB-C Workflow

The Soundcraft Signature Plus 22 is a 22-channel analog mixing console built for engineers and performers who want analog control with modern hybrid connectivity. This next-generation Signature Series desk pairs Soundcraft Ghost mic preamps, Sapphyre EQ, dbx OverEasy one-knob compressors, and a Lexicon hardware effects engine. Studios, houses of worship, schools, and live venues get professional routing and direct DAW integration without menu diving.

What Sets the Signature Plus 22 Apart

One of the only analog desks in its tier with a built-in Lexicon hardware effects processor, complete with Tap Tempo, preset Store, and foot pedal jacks for FX Bypass. The 4x4 USB-C interface runs at sample rates up to 192 kHz and lets engineers route USB returns into channel strips or override the main mix for break music. SSM metering, a Listen bus, and Talkback To routing complete the workflow.

Preamps, EQ, and Compression — Analog Signal Path

Ghost mic preamps deliver +65 dB of clean gain with an EIN of -128 dBu, giving engineers wide headroom for vocals, drums, and acoustic sources. Sapphyre asymmetric EQ shapes tone on every channel, while dbx OverEasy one-knob compressors tame transients without outboard gear.

• Mic Preamps: Soundcraft Ghost with +65 dB gain, EIN -128 dBu — clean, transparent headroom for vocals and acoustic sources
• EQ: Sapphyre asymmetric EQ per channel — musical tone shaping with high, sweepable mids, and low bands
• Compressors: dbx OverEasy one-knob with harmonic enhancement — single-knob threshold and makeup gain for fast vocal compression
• Insert Points: TRS inserts on every mono channel — slot in external processors like drum compressors or character EQs

Routing, Subgroups, and Aux Sends — Flexible Console Architecture

Four aux sends, four subgroups, and a Listen bus give this desk the routing depth of a much larger console. Mix-to-Aux sends the stereo main mix through the aux bus and blends individual channels on top, ideal for custom in-ear mixes. Balanced XLR main and control room outputs plus stereo RCA I/O complete the analog connections.

• Aux Sends: 4 aux sends with pre/post-fader switching — flexible monitor, IEM, and external processor routing
• Subgroups: 4 subgroups with flexible routing — group drums, vocals, or instruments for fast mix control
• Main Outputs: Balanced XLR L/R, balanced XLR control room, stereo RCA — pro-grade connectivity to amps, monitors, and playback devices
• Talkback: Dedicated talkback XLR with Talkback To routing — communicate with artists on stage or in the control room

USB-C Interface, Lexicon Effects, and Build Quality

The 4x4 USB-C audio interface runs at sample rates from 44.1 kHz up to 192 kHz, with a recording dynamic range of 107 dB and playback dynamic range of 94 dB. Inside the Lexicon hardware effects engine, reverbs, delays, and modulation come with Tap Tempo and Store, plus foot pedal jacks. Phantom power is available globally at 48 V.

• USB Interface: 4x4 USB-C, up to 192 kHz — direct multitrack recording and playback with laptops or mobile devices
• Effects: Lexicon hardware multi-effects with Tap Tempo and Store — flagship reverbs and delays without external plug-ins
• Phantom Power: +48 V global — powers condenser microphones across all mic inputs
• Dimensions: 560 x 535 x 106 mm — desktop footprint weighing 9.7 kg bare

Who Should Choose the Signature Plus 22

The Soundcraft Signature Plus 22 is the right choice for project studio owners, live sound engineers, houses of worship, schools, and touring musicians who need 22 channels of high-grade analog signal path with modern DAW connectivity. Engineers who want one-knob compression, Lexicon hardware effects, and Sapphyre EQ on every channel will appreciate the analog workflow. The 4x4 USB-C interface at up to 192 kHz, the Listen bus, and Talkback To routing make it equally suited to tracking sessions and front-of-house mixing. Bands and venues can route USB returns into channel strips or override the main mix for break music and DJ sets. The included software bundle extends the workflow into a full hybrid production environment.
