The Soundcraft Vi1000 digital mixing console represents the culmination of the groundbreaking achievements and rich feature set offered by Soundcraft's acclaimed Vi Series—now in a more compact form factor.
The reduced footprint of the Vi1000 makes it ideal for smaller touring projects, rental companies, corporate AV applications, as well as music venue, theater and HOW installations in search of a versatile digital mixer. Among its many features, the Vi1000 incorporates Vistonics II 'knobs-on-glass' functionality, making it easy to see and access the power and versatility of the mixing environment; along with Soundcraft Faderglow@trade colour coding, which illuminates the fader slots according to function using clearly defined colours. Offering pristine audio quality, a wealth of functionality, an intuitive user interface for streamlined operation, and the roadworthy reliability that Soundcraft's Vi Series consoles are known for, the new Vi1000 delivers space saving, world-class audio mixing capability.
Innovation That Never Loses Sight Of The End User
All the cutting-edge features in the world mean little if a mixing console isn’t intuitive to use. Recognizing that many audio engineers are freelance technicians, the ability to sit down behind the console and quickly and easily grasp its layout and functionality was of paramount importance throughout the Vi1000’s design phase. With this in mind, Soundcraft engineers made easy-to-understand, streamlined operation a priority. From its Vistonics II and Faderglow integration to the inclusion of built-in microphone monitoring, every aspect of the Soundcraft Vi1000 exudes painstaking attention to detail—ensuring a mixing environment that inspires one’s best efforts.
Vistonics II Functionality
Central to the Vi1000’s intuitive design is the Vistonics II ‘knobs-on-glass’ user interface. With Vistonics II, each control is always clearly labeled as to its function, despite their assignable nature. The functions are colour coded and use icons to clearly indicate the parameter being adjusted—whether it’s a signal level, filter frequency, or attack/release time. A simple touch of the screen is all it takes to access all the parameters associated with a particular channel strip. The amount of information presented in an easy-to-read format enables you to quickly scan the entire desk and see all channel strip settings at a glance—an inherent capability of analog consoles, but sadly lacking on most digital consoles.
