Only months after the introduction of
the highly successful Soundcraft Vi6TM, the Vi Series of digital live sound
consoles has been extended with the new Soundcraft Vi4 model, offering all the
functionality and facilities of the Soundcraft Vi6, but in a smaller, more
compact footprint more suited for space-conscious applications such as
Theatres, Houses of Worship and venues or clubs with space-limited mix
positions.
In just under 1.5m/5 feet, the
Soundcraft Vi4 offers access to 48 inputs on 24 faders, with a total of 27
output busses available for use as masters, groups, auxes or matrices. All
other features of the Soundcraft Vi6, such as the highly acclaimed VistonicsTM
II touch-screen user interface, Soundcraft FaderGlowTM fader
function display and the unequalled audio quality are inherited by the
Soundcraft Vi4.
Also available on the Soundcraft Vi4 is
the new Processing Card option, which adds 8 powerful assignable Lexicon
Effects sections, together with 30-band BSS Audio graphic equalizers available
on every output.
Since its launch in the middle of 2006,
the Soundcraft Vi6 has found many friends amongst the live sound community,
being used on major tours such as the Scissor Sisters and Illegal Eagles, or
installed in venues like the Esplanade Theatre in Singapore and the Mean
Fiddler in London.
