Soundcraft CSB Optical MADI HD Card Multi Mode
The Soundcraft CSB Optical MADI HD Card keeps your signal chain transparent and noise-free, delivering the digital connectivity that touring and studio professionals rely on for seamless integration into existing Soundcraft rigs. Multi-mode flexibility lets you configure signal routing and format precisely for your setup—whether you're running orchestral tracking, live FOH reinforcement, or complex monitor chains—without introducing technical friction into your workflow. The optical transmission preserves every nuance of your audio with crystal-clear fidelity, giving you confidence that your signal path remains pure and uncolored.
Connectivity & Signal Architecture
Dual redundant cabling with automatic switchover ensures your rig stays online through the entire show or session. The optical implementation eliminates ground loops and RF interference, delivering a transparent signal path across distances up to 1500m in multimode configurations—critical when your console sits far from your stagebox or remote I/O nodes.

This card slots into Soundcraft's professional mixing ecosystem, supporting both rackmount and stagebox form factors. Compatible platforms include Vi6 Local Rack, Compact Stagebox, Vi1, Vi3000, and Vi Stagebox, making it a versatile addition to established Soundcraft installations.
