A Guide to Quality Installed Sound Systems. - Jands

mixers
Mixers come in many shapes and sizes which are relative to the application. Live mixing consoles are larger in comparison to paging/BGM
mixers which can fit in one rack space. Deciding on a mixer can be confusing so make sure you list your requirements and then allow that
little bit extra to cover any curve balls that may be thrown. It is always better to have too much than not enough. Soundcraft are celebrating
35 years of mixer design, innovation and construction. No other manufacturer has the experience and know-how, no other manufacturer is
Soundcraft.
Digital Consoles
Soundcraft Vi Series
64 or 96 Mono inputs into 35 outputs (Vi6), 48 Mono
inputs into 27 outputs (Vi4). Pairs of Mono inputs can
be linked to create Stereo channels.
Busses
32 Grp/Aux/Matrix (Vi6), 24 Grp/Aux/Matrix (Vi4) plus
main LCR Mix and LR Solo busses (maximum of 16
Matrix outputs can be configured).
Insert Points
24 insert send/return pairs can be configured (using available I/O) and assigned to
any of the input or output channels.
Direct Outputs
All input channels can have direct outputs in addition to their internal bus routing,
assuming sufficient I/O is available (eg optical MADI card).
Local Rack Inputs
• 16 Analogue line inputs
• 3 Analogue Mic/Line inputs
• 1 Talkback mic input (mounted on control surface)
• 8 pairs of AES/EBU inputs (=16 channels)
• 64ch optical MADI In
Local Rack Outputs
• 16 Analogue line outputs
• 8 pairs of AES/EBU outputs (= 16 channels)
• Dual solo busses, A (L, C, R) and B (L, R)
• TB line output
Stagebox Inputs
• Stagebox inputs: 64 (Vi6), 48 (Vi4) analogue Mic/Line inputs (with remote gain
control, 48V and pre-A-D 80Hz HPF).
• Optional 4 x AES/EBU input card (replaces 8 x mic inputs)
Stagebox Outputs
• Stagebox outputs: 32 (Vi6), 24 (Vi4) analogue line outputs
• Optional 4 x AES/EBU output card (replaces 8 x line outputs)
General
• Dual redundant power supplies on Control Surface, Stage Rack and Local Rack
Soundcraft Si Series

• Four independent Lexicon processors
• A physical output and meter for every bus.
• 8 assignable analogue inserts for additional outboard equipment
• 4 expansion slots for AES/EBU and/or MADI
• HiQNet connectivity
• Dual redundant power supply option
