Frequently asked questions
Do I need an existing Soundcraft console to use either product?
Yes. The AES/EBU 8x8 D Type Card is an expansion card that integrates directly into Soundcraft Si Performer, Expression, and Compact range consoles only. The Ui16 is a standalone mixer that works independently and requires no additional console.
Which product is better for remote mixing from a tablet or phone?
Only the Soundcraft Ui16 supports remote control via Wi-Fi and Ethernet from mobile devices and laptops using an HTML5 browser. The AES/EBU card provides digital I/O expansion but no remote control capability.
What audio connectors does each product use?
The AES/EBU 8x8 D Type Card uses professional D-Type connectors for its 8 inputs and 8 outputs, plus a separate BNC connector for word clock. The Ui16 features eight XLR combo mic/line inputs and includes USB and HDMI connectivity.
Which is more portable for touring and live venues?
The Ui16 is more portable, weighing under 4 kilos in a compact 4U rack format that fits anywhere. The AES/EBU card requires the host Soundcraft console to be transported, making it less portable on its own.
