Description
Soundcraft Vi3000 Vi Series Digital Live Sound Console
The Soundcraft Vi3000 puts responsive, hands-on mixing control at your fingertips through 36 illuminated FaderGlow faders paired with four Vistonics II touch screens and 3D graphics. Built to handle everything from intimate theater productions to large-scale touring festivals, this console commands up to 96 inputs across 48 high-quality mic preamps and extensive I/O without sacrificing feel or workflow. The SpiderCore 40-bit floating point DSP engine and industry-standard Dante connectivity guarantee pristine audio with sub-2ms latency and the sonic clarity that touring engineers demand.
Mix Architecture & Control Surface
The Vi3000 gives you 36 faders controlling 24 mono/stereo busses, with color-coded FaderGlow illumination that immediately tells you what each channel does at a glance. Four independent Vistonics II touch screen interfaces with 3D graphics let you see your mix take shape visually and drill into parameters without getting lost in menus—keeping your head up and your ears on the room during the show.
Audio Performance & I/O
With 48 analog inputs, 16 analog outputs, dual Dante 64 x 64 and MADI fiber 64 x 64 connectivity, plus 4 channels of AES I/O, this console routes complex multi-band setups and networked audio with the reliability touring productions depend on. The SpiderCore engine delivers 40-bit floating point processing, sub-2ms latency at 48 kHz, exceptional audio specs (<0.003% THD, -126dBu EIN), and frequency response of +0/-1dB from 20Hz–20kHz.
