Description
Soundcraft RW5801C Vi Console Stagebox 48x16 Cat7
The Soundcraft RW5801C Vi Console puts serious mixing power in your hands with intuitive faders and responsive tactile control that let you work fast and decisive on live stages. This 48x16 stagebox configuration gives you the input count to handle multi-band setups, theater productions, and festival rigs, while Cat7 stagebox connectivity keeps your signal clean across distances up to 130 meters—critical when you need to position inputs far from your mixing position. The Vi Series' battle-tested ergonomics and solid construction mean you can focus entirely on the music, not fighting the gear.
I/O Configuration & Connectivity
48 mic/line inputs and 16 analogue line outputs give you the I/O real estate to handle complex stage setups without compromise. Cat7 permanent installation cable connectivity keeps your stagebox reliably tethered to the console at distances up to 130 meters, essential for venues where your mixing position and stage inputs need separation.
Preamp & Signal Control
Remotely controllable mic/line amp gain from the console means you adjust input levels from your mixing position without breaking your workflow during soundcheck or a show. Universal 48V phantom power and 100 Hz lo-cut filter on mic inputs handle the signal conditioning you need for live vocals, instruments, and real-world venue noise.
