Description
The Soundcraft Vi3000 is a standalone digital live sound console with 36 faders, 48 high-quality mic preamplifiers, 24 mono/stereo busses, an onboard Dante interface, a maximum of 96 inputs to mix, a 48 kHz sampling frequency, and a pristine audio path specifically designed to meet the demands of professional live touring, install, and corporate AV applications.The console's intuitive workflow provides sound engineers with direct access to all functions, maximum information and visibility at all times, a unique integration of touch screens and encoders, eliminating complex and fatiguing mental mapping, and a compact operating surface with a perfectly optimized control density. FaderGlow illuminated faders display different colors according to function. A sweeping, black screen panel with four Vistonics II touch screen interfaces and sleek 3D graphics makes it possible for two engineers to use the console at the same time. Users also have the ability to store/recall snapshots and cues, and can control the console remotely from an iPad via the Soundcraft ViSi app.The Vi3000 offers extensive rear-panel connectivity. In addition to a full complement of analog and digital inputs/outputs, the console provides MIDI, USB, Ethernet, DVI out, Dante/MADI record feed outputs, redundant power supply, and other connections. The Vi3000 has two expansion bays that can be fitted with MADI Stagebox cards (available separately), to connect multiple Soundcraft Stagebox input expander modules (also available separately).Pristine SpiderCore DSP, UAD Plug-Ins, Lexicon FX, BSS EQ Sound quality is handled by Soundcraft SpiderCore, a 40-bit floating point DSP engine that combines FPGA and DSP technology to maximize I/O routing and DSP mixing capability in a footprint small enough for inclusion within a control surface.Internal FX come courtesy of 4 independent stereo Lexicon multi-effects units, each providing a choice of 14 reverbs, 7 delays, and 8 pitch shifting effects, patchable to input channels, aux outputs, and channel inserts.BSS DPR901ii Dynamic EQ this acclaimed industry-standard DEQ is built-in as standard with 8 instances available for inserting on any input or output channel. The DEQ can be used at the same time as the existing channel EQ and Dynamics sections.The Vi3000 can also accommodate the Soundcraft Realtime Rack (available separately), a hardware/software unit designed in collaboration with plug-in manufacturer Universal Audio, which provides access to 74 industry-standard UAD plug-ins.Four Vistonics II Touchscreen Interfaces: Touch, See, Mix The Vistonics interface is central to the Vi3000 design philosophy, providing direct access to all functions with maximum information and visibility at all times. 16 switches and rotary encoders are built into each of the four Vistonics screens, so where you look is where you control. Functions are color-coded and change according to the selected mode and one touch of the screen is all it take.FaderGlow Illuminated Faders FaderGlow illuminates the fader track in colors that integrate with those of Vistonics II to show at a glance what function a fader is controlling at any given time. FaderGlow applies cyan, blue, and red illumination respectively to the fader track, enabling the operator to see the different output types immediately, even before reading the text labels that also exist for each fader.Dante, MADI, and More The Vi3000 incorporates a Dante interface as standard, for seamless digital audio networking with Dante-enabled devices. You can also access DAWs for live multitrack recording and virtual sound checking via MADI.MIDI, USB, and Ethernet ports are also included, along with a DVI output and 4 channels of AES I/O.Two ports on the rear panel allow you to add networking and expansion cards such as ADAT, AES/EBU, RockNet, 3G SDI cards, and more.Uninterrupted performance is assured by dual redundant PSUs.An FoH Console Great for Mixing Monitors All busses to stereo: All busses can be
