A unique feature of the signal monitoring is the Peak LED. This uses multipoint signal take-offs to watch for overload in several parts of the channel strip, and the LED lights more brightly as the signal approaches the peak point. For smooth and accurate channel control, the E Series has the same long-throw 100mm high quality faders as other Soundcraft desks. The E Series is available in four standard models: 6, 8 and 12 mono inputs (each model featuring two stereo inputs) and a unique model, the ES.
The ES caters for set-ups with multiple stereo sources that require simultaneous connection, such as keyboards, samplers and computers, and has 10 full-function stereo inputs as well as four mono inputs (for microphones and other mono sources). Two of these stereo inputs are equipped with RIAA-equalized inputs on RCA Phono connectors so that record turntables can be plugged straight into the mixer for DJ music production. Each stereo input has three-band EQ, as does the mono input on these models. The ES will also find favour with touring keyboard players as a submixer.
