‘While, over the past two years, we’ve expanded our digital range with high- and mid-range extensions to the Vista, OnAir, Vi and Si desks, we’ve been determined to drive our product portfolio down into the sub $10,000 price points,’ says Andy Trott, Harman’s VP and General Manager for Mixing, Microphones & Headphones. ‘Our strategy has always been to integrate no-compromise audio quality together with innovative, feature-rich specifications and an easy-to-use-and-learn, highly intuitive user interface. Si Compact is the result of 18 months extremely focused and creative development; it brings together so many professional features and technologies from across Harman Professional brands into a highly specified but yet super compact mixing platform at an unbelievably low price point.’
