Soundcraft 5059729HU ViLR-96FO 96kHz Fully Multimode Optical Local Rac

Soundcraft 5059729HU ViLR-96FO 96kHz Fully Multimode Optical Local Rack

The ViLR-96FO is a professional-grade local rack designed as a dedicated stageboxe interface for Vi5000/7000 consoles, delivering extensive I/O routing and processing capability through fiber optic connectivity. This unit enables audio engineers to deploy mixing control at considerable distances from the main console—up to 1.5 km via single-mode fiber—without signal degradation, making it essential for large-scale live sound applications and touring productions.

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.

Processing & Integration

The unit includes BSS dynamic processing via DPR901 modules and integrated Lexicon effects engines, allowing comprehensive signal shaping and effects processing at the stageboxe level. An active breakout box ships with the unit, enabling practical deployment of the optical interface across multiple physical locations.
