Description
Soundcraft 5059731HU ViLR-48C5 48kHz Cat5 Local Rack
The ViLR-48C5 is a professional-grade local I/O and DSP processing unit designed to extend large-format Soundcraft Vi consoles in studio and fixed installation environments. This 9U rack assembly combines the SCore processing engine with a dedicated low-noise cooling fan unit, delivering the mixing and routing power needed to manage complex multitrack sessions with Cat5 connectivity to remote I/O stage boxes and networked audio sources.
Architecture & Processing
The system employs a modular 6U design with a 3U DSP mixing core (SScore, co-developed with Studer) stacked above a 3U low-noise cooling fan unit. The upper section houses the audio processing engine while the lower section manages local I/O connections and remote stage box communications, creating a compact yet powerful rack footprint ideal for both permanent studio installations and mobile recording setups.
Connectivity & Integration
Cat5 connectivity enables direct communication with remote stage boxes while an active Breakout Unit provides both direct audio connections for local use and connection to the control surface. A dedicated Breakout Panel supports MADI connections for additional stage boxes, allowing flexible system expansion and multi-room coordination without sacrificing signal integrity across the network.
