ULTRAMIC™
The mic pre-amp is one of the more
critical points in the signal chain.
Both live and in the studio, any
distortion or noise that is introduced
at this stage will remain a problem.
Graham Blyth’s UltraMic™ design
sets a new standard for compact
mixer pre-amp performance, and has
earned praise from countless
reviewers and users around the
world. Unlike designs which favour
certain types of microphone, the

THE SPIRIT
ADVANTAGE
Soundcraft Spirit mixers share
the same design philosophy,
aimed at delivering
uncompromising audio quality
and a wide range of features in
compact, affordable products.
Many features are common to
all Spirit range models, and
these in turn are often based on
features of Soundcraft’s large-
format professional mixer
designs – also designed by
Spirit guru Graham Blyth. After
all, when you’ve invented the
best ways of building
professional mixers, it makes
sense to use the same
techniques in designs
of all sizes.
