SOUNDCRAFT / STUDER
BEYOND INTUITIVE DIGITAL LIVE SOUND MIXING THE WAY IT SHOULD BE
Soundcraft consoles combine pristine sound quality, tour-proven
reliability and unique operational features to deliver digital live sound mixing the way it should be.
With groundbreaking Soundcraft®
Vistonics™
and FaderGlow™ technologies combining visual information and operational controls in one area, Vi Series live sound consoles remove the burden of complex mental mapping, freeing the operator to concentrate on the mix. A simple touch of the screen is all it takes to access channel functions including routing, input gain, digital gain trim, delay, high and low pass filters, 4-band parametric EQ, compressor, limiter, gate, de-esser and pan.
Partnering compact control surfaces with a powerful SCore Live processing engine and up to 5 stageboxes, Vi2, Vi4 and Vi6 (pictured in use at top of page) deliver up to 96 channels to mix with 35 output busses. Pristine sound quality is assured by ultra-low noise mic amp designs and advanced 40-bit floating point digital audio processing, while FX come courtesy of 8 independent Lexicon multi-FX units, with BSS graphic EQ on every bus output. Rapid configuration and powerful automation features, radio mic status monitoring and extensive ViSi Connect I/O expansion complete the package.
Pictured above, the compact Vi1 provides a ‘one box solution’, with processing and connectivity built directly into the control surface.
Si Expression exploits cutting-edge DSP technology, classic British sound quality and the equivalent of no less than 392 rack-units of built-in FX, GEQ and Dynamics from our friends at Lexicon, BSS and dbx to deliver Soundcraft’s most powerful, cost effective, small format digital console ever. A range of three mixers is identical in features, the only decision being how many faders and local mic amps are required.
With a massive 66 input processing channels, all Si Expression consoles have busses, output processing and connectivity to match the versatility of the inputs. A range of ViSi Connect cards dramatically expands I/O options (see below) while Compact and Mini stageboxes further extend I/O power and flexibility. A Multi Digital card enables live multitrack recording to a DAW.
Intuitive, analogue-style control lies at the heart of the Si Expression concept, with features like assignable fader layers, a colour touchscreen and Soundcraft®

With up to 80 channels to mix, intuitive analogue-style operation, built-in Lexicon FX, sophisticated 4-band fully parametric EQ, full dynamics processing, a comprehensive range of ViSi Connect expansion options, flexible routing and grouping and remote iPad®
the Si Performer is a remarkable live sound mixer. But that’s just the beginning.
The unique integration of a DMX512 port and lighting control interface into an intuitive control surface that enables sound and lighting fader functions to be combined in layers, delivers comprehensive show control in a single, compact package.
FaderGlow™ lighting the way to a from anywhere in the venue.
The possibilities are endless. From theatre productions to gigging bands and music venues, houses of worship to live productions and corporate AV events, any ‘single-operator’ application in which sophisticated digital audio mixing is a pre-requisite can now be enhanced with integrated lighting control, where freely assignable fader layers allow inputs, busses and DMX controls to be conveniently assigned anywhere on any fader layer. 24 and 32 mono mic input versions are available.
ViSi Connect expansion cards include: AES, Firewire/USB/ADAT, AVIOM™, CobraNet™, BSS BLU Link, Dante™ and CAT5 or optical MADI. iPad® 36 November 2013
