What makes the Vi7000 suitable for touring versus studio-only consoles?

The Vi7000 features a redundant power supply, sub-2ms latency, ultra-low –126dBu mic preamp noise, and massive I/O expansion via Dante, MADI, Rocknet, EtherSound, and CobraNet—all engineered for the real-world demands of load-in/load-out reliability and rapid system configuration on the road. Its compact footprint delivers up to 128 inputs and 32 busses in a console designed to survive touring schedules without sonic compromise.

How many effects and dynamics tools are available onboard?

The Vi7000 includes eight independent Lexicon multi-FX units, BSS DPR901ii dynamic EQ, and BSS graphic EQ on every bus output, giving you comprehensive sonic shaping from surgical compression to creative effects without external outboard gear.

What networking protocols does it support?

The Vi7000 is compatible with Dante, Rocknet, EtherSound, CobraNet, and MADI, enabling 128-channel recording via MADI or Dante and seamless third-party I/O integration for expansive system architecture.

What sampling rates and processing depth does it offer?

The Vi7000 operates at 40-bit floating-point DSP processing at up to 96kHz sampling, delivering transparent frequency response of +0/–1dB from 20Hz–20kHz with latency under 2ms at 48kHz, ensuring zero-phase issues in live or studio tracking scenarios.

How does the interface respond to user input during a mix?

Five Vistonics II touch screens paired with illuminated FaderGlow faders provide intuitive, responsive tactile feedback, letting you make quick gain and EQ adjustments during a performance or session without hunting through menus.

Soundcraft Vi7000 Control Surface

The Vi7000 control surface delivers a compact yet supremely capable mixing interface built around five Vistonics II touch screens and illuminated FaderGlow faders—a tactile, responsive mixing experience designed for professional studio and remote recording sessions. This console pairs a streamlined control surface with powerful Local Rack and Active Breakout box hardware, enabling simultaneous mixing of up to 128 inputs and 32 mono/stereo busses with 40-bit floating point digital audio processing at 48kHz or 96kHz sampling rates. Built on Soundcraft's proven Vi platform, the Vi7000 combines pristine audio quality, extensive effects processing, and massive I/O flexibility with the reliability needed for complex multitrack recording, mixing, and mastering workflows.

Audio Performance & Processing

40-bit floating point DSP at up to 96kHz sampling ensures sonic transparency across the entire signal chain, with ultra-low mic preamp noise (-126dBu E.I.N.) and sub-2ms latency—critical for phase-coherent tracking and overdub sessions. Eight independent Lexicon multi-FX units, integrated BSS DPR901ii dynamic EQ, and BSS graphic EQ on every bus output provide comprehensive sonic shaping—from surgical mix correction to creative effects processing and spatial treatments.

Connectivity & Session Integration

Extensive networking protocols including Dante, Rocknet, EtherSound, CobraNet, and MADI enable 128-channel recording via MADI or Dante and seamless integration with DAWs, outboard gear, and third-party I/O ecosystems. Redundant power supply, MIDI, USB, Ethernet, and DVI outputs provide rock-solid architecture for multi-session production environments and reliable archive workflows.
