Soundcraft Vi6

Eagerly awaited and now a reality, Soundcraft's first large-format digital live desk, the Soundcraft Vi6™ console is in fact already ahead of the pack, being third-generation thanks to a joint development with sister console company Studer. The console is heralded as the first in a wide range of digital consoles to come from Soundcraft over the next two years.

The Soundcraft Vi6 console has been designed using the proven reliability of Studer's Vista™ and On-Air 3000™ series of consoles, and, more importantly perhaps, uses a derivation of the Vistonics™ user interface (Vistonics™ II) to allow the engineer to operate the desk intuitively. Vistonics II uses the same type of touch-screen colour TFT monitor with integral rotary controls and switches mounted on the glass to provide a 'where you look is where you control' user interface.

Audio Channels

Max number of simultaneous mixing channels
96 mono inputs into 35 Outputs. Pairs of mono inputs can be linked to create stereo channels.
Insert points
24 insert send/return pairs can be configured (using available I/O) and assigned to any of the 96 inputs or 35 output channels.
Direct Outputs
All 96 input channels can have direct outputs in addition to their internal bus routing, assuming sufficient I/O is available (eg optical MADI card).
Busses
32 Grp/Aux/Matrix, plus main LCR Mix and LR Solo busses (maximum of 16 matrix outputs can be configured).

Connectivity

Connection from local rack to stagebox: Standard fit: Cat5 or Cat7 cable, with Amphenol RJF connectors. Optional: Fibre Optical interface card (additional cost).
Max distance, local rack to stagebox: 80m using flexible reel-mounted Cat5 cable, 130m using Cat7 permanent installation cable.
GPIO facility: There are 16 GPIO contact closure inputs and outputs on the local rack, and 8 inputs and outputs on the stagebox.
