Soundcraft Vi5000 128-Channel Digital Mixing Console Control Surface

Under the umbrella of advanced audio technology, the Vi5000 128-Channel Digital Mixing Console Control Surface stands out as a powerhouse of sound control. This digital mixing console delivers the superior Vi sound quality, enhanced by optional 96kHz processing, increased channel counts, and robust hardware that makes it a favorite in the live sound industry.

The Vi5000 partners a compact control surface with innovative Local Rack and Active Breakout box hardware, enabling simultaneous mixing of up to 128 inputs and 32 mono/stereo buses. The sound quality is pristine, thanks to ultra-low noise mic amp designs and advanced 96kHz 40-bit floating point digital audio processing.

The console comes equipped with 8 independent Lexicon multi-FX units, BSS DPR901ii integration, and a BSS graphic EQ on every bus output. It also features powerful automation capabilities, radio mic status monitoring, and extensive ViSi Connect I/O expansion options, including EtherSound, CobraNet, Dante, MADI, and more.

The Vi5000 is designed with our patented Vistonics interface, which simplifies the mixing process by placing rotary encoders and switches directly on the touch screen. This intuitive design streamlines workflow and enhances the creative process, making it the ideal choice for both FOH and monitor mixing.

The console also boasts enhanced monitor mix features, such as the ability to turn all buses to stereo without tying up two buses, providing a massive 32 stereo mix capability. It also offers 4 aux send points and an Aux VCA mode, which allows for more precise tailoring of mixes to performers' requirements.

The Vi5000 also includes built-in STUDER vMIX processing for seamless automixing of up to 4 separate groups of 16 microphone channels. This feature allows for faster reaction to sudden level changes in dynamic panel discussions.

The console also integrates world-class effects and dynamics from Lexicon and BSS directly within the console, minimizing the need for outboard processing gear. It also includes a BSS third-octave Graphic Equaliser on every bus output, modelled on the BSS960 analogue unit.

The Vi5000 also offers powerful Lexicon effects via the Vi Series Processor Card, providing 8 independent stereo Lexicon multi-effects units. Additionally, it supports the use of UA plug-ins, offering high-fidelity 'off-the-record' studio processing at live events.

In summary, the Vi5000 128-Channel Digital Mixing Console Control Surface is a comprehensive solution for advanced audio mixing, offering unparalleled sound quality, intuitive controls, and powerful effects and dynamics.
