Overview

The Soundcraft Signature Plus 22 is a next-generation console in the Signature Plus Series. It features 22 creative input channels and delivers professional workflows and flagship features at a competitive price. As an evolution of the acclaimed Soundcraft Signature Series, Signature Plus models integrate professional audio performance with its clear layout, including color coded and tactile knobs for fast adjustments.

The Soundcraft Signature Plus 22's premium creative audio quality comes from Ghost mic preamps, Sapphyre EQ, DBX one-knob compressors, and a Lexicon hardware effects processor with Store and Tap Tempo. Pro flexibility features include SSM (Simple Success Metering), Listen bus and Talkback To, Mix to Auxes, 4x4USB-C 192kHz interface, and flexible monitoring controls. Rugged construction and a surface-mounted QR code, linking to training videos, manuals, and support resources, ensure SignaturePlus models are ready for any environment.

The Signature Plus 22 isn't just another analog mixing console -- it's a professional-grade creative hub that empowers artists, engineers, and creators to deliver exceptional sound in studios, on stage, and across streaming platforms. Intuitive, Professional Control Signature Plus features a clean, purpose-driven layout that optimizes input and output sections for fast, confident navigation. Color-coded buttons and tactile "squircle" knobs make adjustments quick and precise -- even in low-light or high-pressure environments.

Built-in DBX one-knob compressors with harmonic enhancement and insert points provide flexible sound shaping. Exclusive Lexicon Hardware Effects is the only console in its class with a built-in Lexicon hardware processor. Signature Plus 22 adds preset Store and Tap Tempo functions for expanded creative control.

Listening/Metering is a dedicated listen bus that allows engineers to monitor channels without interrupting the main mix, while "Talkback To" routing ensures clear communication where and when needed. Extensive SSM (SimpleSuccess Metering) provides fast visual feedback across all inputs and outputs. It features USB-C connectivity for modern Workflows and a 4x4 USB-C 192kHz interface that enables seamless playback and recording with laptops or mobile devices.

USB inputs can be routed into channel strips or override the mix for break music and DJ sets. Additionally, single press select empowers direct headphone and control listening between sessions. User-configurable monitoring controls include independent headphone/control room outs, with Mute / Dim / Mono Sum, and user selection from auxes, Listen, Mix, or direct USB returns for streamlined monitoring precision per listener.
