Soundcraft Vi1 Vi Series Console - 32 Channels

The Soundcraft Vi1 puts 32 channels of pristine audio directly under your command with a control surface that feels immediate and responsive in live mixing situations. The 22" Vistonics touch screen displaying 16 channels simultaneously, combined with motorized faders and dual rows of rotary encoders, creates a mixing environment where real-time adjustments happen naturally. This console delivers the transparent, clean sound character that lets every element cut through with clarity while the built-in processing and effects provide creative possibilities without unnecessary complexity.

Control Surface & Ergonomics

The Vi1 spans just over a metre wide and features a 22" Vistonics touch screen with all parameters for 16 channels displayed side by side, eliminating the need to page between channel views. Tactile control comes from two rows of 16 rotary encoders, 16 motorized channel faders, 8 assignable VCA output faders, and 2 master faders—allowing you to mix with hands-on precision and recall exact fader positions across sessions.

Audio Performance & I/O

The Vi1 delivers 32 channels of analogue input to 27 analogue outputs plus 6 digital inputs and 6 digital outputs on AES/EBU and SPDIF connectors, with an input-to-mix capacity of 46 channels as standard—expandable to 64 simultaneous channels via stagebox integration. Frequency response runs flat from 20Hz–20kHz (+0/–1dB) with 40-bit floating-point DSP resolution and sub-2ms latency, ensuring transparent audio fidelity and responsive real-time processing across all channels.
