Soundcraft RW5786OHU Vi Stagebox Optical 64:32
The Vi Stagebox Optical 64:32 is a professional-grade remote stagebox engineered for large-scale live sound installations where fiber-optic connectivity and scalable I/O are essential. Its compact 9U rack-mount chassis delivers the channel density and remote control capabilities expected in touring and fixed-installation environments, making it a workhorse for sound engineers and system integrators managing complex multitrack setups at venues, festivals, and on the road.
Connectivity & Signal Architecture
Dual optical multimode MADI fiber links enable redundant, rock-solid communication with compatible Soundcraft and Studer consoles over distances up to 1,500 meters, eliminating ground loops and RF interference inherent in analog snake runs. The modular architecture accepts optional I/O cards—including AES/EBU, Dante, CobraNet, EtherSound, Aviom A-Net, and Blu Link—so the stagebox integrates into virtually any ecosystem without wholesale replacement, whether you're running a single venue rig or a multi-day tour.
Preamp & I/O Capabilities
Sixty-four remote-controllable microphone/line preamplifiers with motorized gain adjustment, +48V phantom power, and 100Hz high-pass filter per channel let you dial in and tweak levels from the console without sending crew to the stage, saving setup time and keeping gain structure tight throughout the show. Thirty-two balanced analog line outputs deliver clean, isolated sends for monitors, effects returns, and secondary systems, all backed by dual power supplies for uninterrupted operation when the show must go on.
