Soundcraft VI2000

The Soundcraft Vi2000 reinvents the small format digital console with an ultra-compact implementation of the same control surface layout and workflow as its larger Vi siblings.

Featuring 96 inputs to mix, 24 mono/stereo busses and the same SpiderCore built-in DSP and I/O engine as the Vi3000, the console can also be used with remote I/O via the double option card slots and an optional Stagebox.

Product Features

• Expansion slots allow MADI-based Stageboxes or allows access to the extensive range of D21m IO option cards
• Like other Vi000 consoles a built in 64x64ch Dante interface provides direct connection via Ethernet to any PC or Mac-based recording software.
• Can Integrate into existing Dante software
• Only 1.15m in width therefore it is compact and cost efficient

Product Specification
