Soundcraft MFXi MPMi User Guide Issue 1210
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Soundcraft MPMi/MFXi mixer. The MPMi and MFXi 
ranges are our most cost-effective mixing solutions, bringing you all the features 
and performance that you expect from a Soundcraft product, at an extraordinarily 
low price. The packaging, in which your console arrived, forms part of the product 
and must be retained for future use. 
Owning a Soundcraft console brings you the expertise and support of one of the 
industry’s leading manufacturers, and the results of over three decades of  
supporting some of the biggest names in the business. Our knowledge has been 
attained through working in close contact with leading professionals and institutes 
to bring you products designed to get the best possible results from your mixing.
Built to the highest standards using quality components and surface mount 
technology, the MPMi/MFXi is designed to be as easy to use as possible. We have 
spent years researching the most efficient methods of control for two key reasons:
1) Engineers, musicians, writers and programmers all need to have very few 
interruptions to the creative process; our products have been designed to be 
almost transparent, allowing this process to breathe.
2) Whether performing or recording, time is a very expensive and rare  
commodity. Our products have a user interface which is recognised by millions to 
be the industry standard because of its efficiency.
The sonic qualities of our products are exemplary - some of the same circuits 
which are used on our most expensive consoles are employed in the MPMi/
MFXi, bringing you the great Soundcraft quality in a small format console without 
compromise.
You will also be glad to know you have a one year warranty with your product 
from the date of purchase.  The MPMi/MFXi has been designed using the latest 
high-end software based engineering packages.  Every console from Soundcraft 
has been proven to stand up to all the stress and rigours of modern day mixing 
environments.
The entire MPMi/MFXi range is manufactured using some of the most advanced 
techniques in the world, from high density surface mount PCB technology, to 
computer aided test equipment able to measure signals well outside the range 
of normal hearing.  As each console passes through to be quality checked before 
packing, there is also a human listening station. Something we have learnt over 
the years is that the human touch counts - and only by using people can you 
ensure the product meets the high demands of the user.
ADVICE FOR THOSE WHO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES
Although your new console will not output any sound until you feed it signals, it has 
the capability to produce sounds which when monitored through an amplifier or 
headphones can damage hearing over time.
Please take care when working with your audio - if you are manipulating controls 
which you don’t understand (which we all do when we are learning), make sure your 
monitors are turned down. Remember that your ears are the most important tool of 
your trade, look after them, and they will look after you.
Most importantly - don’t be afraid to experiment to find out how each parameter 
affects the sound  -  this will extend your creativity and help you to get the best from 
your mixer and the most respect from your artists and audience.
