Soundcraft Vi2 Digital Console
Built in a frame that’s barely 33 inches wide, the Vi2 handles up to 96 channels using the standard stage box and local rack hardware for FOH, monitor or sidecar duties. Touch the Vistonics master section screen, and any eight inputs assign onto the faders for full control of channel parameters, EQ, auxes, groups, etc. All the usual processing is accessible via the Local Rack, including the 30-band graphics to which access is provided via the eight output section faders. All Vi2 Show files are compatible with Vi4 and Vi6 consoles.
