Description
Soundcraft 5059729HU ViLR-96FO 96kHz Fully Multimode Optical Local Rack
The ViLR-96FO is a professional-grade local rack engineered as a dedicated stageboxe interface for Vi5000/7000 consoles, delivering extensive I/O routing and processing capability through fiber optic connectivity. This unit lets sound engineers place mixing control at considerable distances from the main console—up to 1.5 km via single-mode fiber—without signal degradation, making it the go-to choice for large-scale live sound applications and touring productions where reliability and reach matter most.
I/O Architecture & Connectivity
The rack provides 384 I/O at 48 kHz, with configurable input capacity of 128 inputs at 48 kHz or 64 inputs at 96 kHz, paired with 32 stereo plus LCR output channels. Five optical MADI connections ensure robust, redundant signal paths and full integration with compatible Soundcraft console ecosystems, giving you the headroom and redundancy required for mission-critical live gigs.
Processing & Integration
The unit includes BSS dynamic processing via DPR901 modules and integrated Lexicon effects engines, allowing comprehensive signal shaping and effects processing right at the stageboxe level. An active breakout box ships with the unit, enabling practical deployment of the optical interface across multiple physical locations so your front-of-house and monitor engineers stay in sync no matter where they are on the venue floor.

At a Glance
The Soundcraft ViLR-96FO is a professional stageboxe rack that extends your Vi5000/7000 console control up to 1.5 km away via fiber optics, handling 384 I/O with zero signal loss. Sound engineers and touring FOH operators rely on it to deploy mixing capability across large venues, festivals, and multi-stage productions without compromise. Built-in BSS processing and Lexicon effects, plus five redundant optical MADI connections, make it the backbone for mission-critical live sound where distance and reliability cannot fail.
Frequently Asked Questions
What consoles does the ViLR-96FO work with?
The ViLR-96FO is designed exclusively as a stageboxe interface for Soundcraft Vi5000 and Vi7000 consoles, integrating directly into their ecosystem via five optical MADI connections.
How far can I run fiber optic cable from my console to this rack?
You can deploy the ViLR-96FO up to 1.5 km from your main console using single-mode fiber optics without any signal degradation, making it ideal for large venues and touring rigs where console position and stage location must be separated.
What happens if I need 96 kHz sample rate — how many inputs do I get?
At 96 kHz, the ViLR-96FO configures to 64 inputs paired with 32 stereo plus LCR outputs; at 48 kHz, you can run 128 inputs with the same 32 stereo plus LCR output configuration.
What processing is built into this rack?
The unit includes BSS dynamic processing via DPR901 modules and integrated Lexicon effects engines, allowing you to apply compression, EQ, and reverb directly at the stageboxe level without console overhead.
Does it come with any breakout hardware?
Yes, an active optical breakout box ships with the ViLR-96FO, enabling you to distribute the fiber optic interface across multiple physical locations and XLR patch points in your venue or stage setup.
