Sound Technology Ltd, distributor of Soundcraft in the UK and Eire, is pleased to announce the Soundcraft Vi1 digital live console will today make its UK debut on the Sound Technology stand at the ABTT theatre show in London.
With the Soundcraft Vi Series now firmly established as a favourite digital desk on both the touring and installed sound scenes, Soundcraft have taken this amazing platform to another, more affordable level with the release of the new Vi1 console. Many users have asked for a smaller, lower-priced desk that still has the acclaimed Vistonics™ user interface, and of course the now-legendary optimal sound quality established with the Vi Series. The new Soundcraft Vi1 is just that.
The Vi1's new widescreen Vistonics™ display puts control at your fingertips. The all-new 22" widescreen interface will be instantly familiar to anyone who's driven a Vi6 or Vi4, yet retains the same 'walk-up' user-friendliness of the other Vi consoles. All parameters for 16 channels are displayed side by side.
A complete standalone console package with 32 channels of analogue input to 27 analogue outputs, plus 6 digital inputs, 4 Stereo FX Returns and 6 digital outputs in one chassis measuring just over 1 metre wide. Channels are routable to 24 multifunction busses pus LR and Mono Mix busses. And since it's stand-alone, the Vi1 can drop in exactly where an old analogue console used to sit.
For more inputs, the Vi1 is expandable via a Stagerack. As standard, input to mix capacity is 46 channels, but by adding a stagebox (the Vi1 is compatible with the existing Vi racks), simultaneous channel count increases to 64.
The Vi1 inherits many of the facilities of its larger siblings, including Soundcraft FaderGlow™. FaderGlow (patent pending) is a unique feature that gives the user an additional level of fader status indication, and can significantly reduce operating errors.
The Vi1 also features eight Lexicon® on-board multi-fx processors. Plus a 20-band BSS Audio graphic EQ on every output, controllable directly from the channel faders if required. It's all the processing you're likely to need, and it's all included.
Crucial for theatre applications, the latest Vi Series software (v4.0) adds user-definable crossfades to every snapshot cue, as well as snapshot previews.
Virtual Vi software allows you to set-up your show wherever and whenever you choose, transferring show files to the console via USB. Virtual Vi can even be used in Online mode to control the DSP core, in place of the control surface.
The Soundcraft Vi1 ships this month (June 2010) priced at £15,000 SRP ex VAT.
