Frequently asked questions
Do I need existing Soundcraft gear to use these products?
Yes—the MADI USB Combo Si Option Card is an expansion card that installs into a Soundcraft Si console and cannot function standalone. The Ui12 is a complete standalone mixer that requires no other hardware.
Which is better for live events?
The Ui12 excels at mobile live sound with wireless tablet control and portability. The MADI card suits larger, stationary live events where you already have a Si console and need expanded remote I/O connectivity across long cable runs.
What are the main I/O differences?
The MADI card adds 32 MADI and 32 USB channels simultaneously to a Si console at 48kHz. The Ui12 offers 12 fixed input channels (four XLR combo mic/line, four XLR mic, two Hi-Z instrument, stereo RCA) with tablet-controlled routing and output processing.
Can I control these remotely?
The Ui12 includes built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet for controlling from tablets, phones, or computers across 10 simultaneous devices. The MADI card does not provide remote control—it expands a Si console's connectivity for remote I/O systems like stageboxes.
