Professional Mixing Power

The Si Expression 2 gives you access to 66 input processing channels, each equipped with a high-pass filter, gate, compressor, input delay, and 4-band EQ. The channel processing is fully recallable, while the automation system and four mute groups ensure effortless scene and performance management.

Each output bus features its own compressor, EQ, delay, and BSS graphic EQ, ensuring complete control over every aspect of your mix. With FaderGlow™ lighting, you can easily navigate your mix in any environment — from dark venues to bright stages.

Integrated Lexicon® Effects

Four onboard Lexicon® stereo effects engines based on the acclaimed MX400 deliver world-class reverbs, delays, and modulation effects without compromising DSP power. As these effects are hardware-based, you retain full use of all other processing features at all times.
