Soundcraft Vi Series
The Soundcraft Vi platform is wordwide accepted and appreciated. Maybee this Series has been the most important mixing tables in the step from analog to digital. Now, after the second generation Vi-consoles, the possibilities and the ease of use is even better. The 3 points that are essential for every engineer are retained: soundquality, ease of use and reliability.
Vi1000
Vi1000 is the most compact Vi from Soundcraft, but has the same possibilities as the larger models: 96 channels, standard Dante, Vistonics functionality, Faderglow and the familiar 40-bit floating point audio processing. Because of the compact size ideal for theatre shows, but also usable at larger live shows.

- 96 input channels with 24 mono/stereo mix busses, plus LRC master busses
- Vistonics II proprietary ‘knobs-on-glass’ functionality; key to the console’s streamlined, intuitiveoperational interface and widely praised as the easiest-to-use digital console on the market
- SpiderCore™ integrated DSP engine ensures superior audio performance
- Soundcraft Faderglow color coding illuminates the fader slots according to function
-
Integrated Dante™ interface facilitates instant connection to industry standard Dante audio networks
- Two double-slot expansion slots for Stagebox connection or option card installation
- Built-in Lexicon world-class reverb, delay, and pitch effects from the industry’s leading brand
- Onboard BSS DPR901ii dynamic EQ digitally modelled after the original, industry-standard BSSanalog unit
- Integrated microphone monitoring for AKG, Shure®, and Sennheiser wireless systems
- Included vMIX automatic microphone mixing for two groups of up to 16 mics in conference ortheatrical applications
- Proven electronic and mechanical design delivers the performance and reliability Vi Seriesconsoles are known for
Vi2000
The Vi2000 has 8 extra faders compared to the Vi1000 and an extra screen. This ensures more ease of use when the application requires it. The technical details are similar to the Vi1000 and Vi3000: 96 channels, standard Dante, Vistonics functionality, Faderglow and 40-bit floating point audio processing.

Vi3000
Perhaps the most chosen option within the Vi range; the Vi3000. With 36 faders, more overview through the 4 screens and more local inputs. Furthermore, features such as the automatic STUDER vMix, microphone status monitoring and BSS DPR901ii dynamic EQ are included as standard, just like on the Vi1000 and Vi2000. That is why it is chosen by many venues as the 'home table'.
