Soundcraft RW5786HU ViSB 64:32 C5 - Vi Stage-box 64:32 Cat5
The Soundcraft Vi Stage-box is a compact yet powerful mixing hub engineered for studio-to-stage workflows and permanent recording installations where remote I/O control and flexible channel count are essential. Its 9U form factor houses professional-grade analog I/O with straightforward Cat5 connectivity, making it an efficient signal distribution centerpiece for mid-to-large format recording and live mixing rigs.
I/O Architecture & Connectivity
This stage-box delivers 64 mic/line inputs and 32 analogue line outputs, providing substantial routing flexibility for multi-track recording sessions, complex mixing scenarios, and parallel processing chains. The Cat5 connectivity enables remote operation from a Vi console positioned in the control room, eliminating the need for bulky multicore cables while maintaining signal integrity across studio or venue distances.
Remote Control & Audio Processing
All critical input parameters—mic/line amp gain, 48V phantom power, and 100 Hz lo-cut filter—are remotely adjustable from the mixing console, streamlining session workflow and enabling precise gain staging without stage-side intervention. Optional AES/EBU, CobraNet, Ethersound, Aviom A-Net 16, Blu Link, or Dante expansion cards extend digital connectivity for networked recording systems and larger DAW integrations, while transformer-balanced mic input options provide enhanced noise rejection in electrically challenging studio environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Cat5 connectivity mean, and do I need a Vi console to use this stage-box?
Cat5 connectivity allows the stage-box to communicate with a Soundcraft Vi mixing console over standard Cat5 cable, eliminating the need for heavy multicore snakes while maintaining signal integrity over venue distances. Yes, you must have a Vi console paired with this stage-box to control gain, phantom power, and filtering remotely.
Can I add digital outputs like Dante to this stage-box?
Yes, optional expansion cards are available for AES/EBU, CobraNet, Ethersound, Aviom A-Net 16, Blu Link, and Dante, allowing you to network the stage-box into larger digital systems or recording interfaces.
What are transformer-balanced mic inputs, and why would I need them?
Transformer-balanced mic inputs use isolation transformers to reject electrical noise and interference, which is especially valuable in venues with heavy electrical equipment, poor grounding, or long cable runs. This option is available to ensure clean, low-noise signal capture in challenging environments.
How many mic and line inputs and outputs does this stage-box have?
The stage-box provides 64 mic/line inputs and 32 analogue line outputs, giving you substantial routing flexibility for complex mixing scenarios in mid-to-large format rigs.
What is the physical size, and will it fit in a standard rack?
The stage-box is housed in a 9U form factor, designed for compact installation in standard touring racks or permanent venue installations.
