Soundcraft RW5786OHU Vi Stagebox Optical 64:32
The Vi Stagebox Optical 64:32 is a professional-grade remote stagebox engineered for multitrack recording sessions and studio installations where fiber-optic connectivity and scalable I/O are essential. Its compact 9U rack-mount chassis delivers the channel density and remote control capabilities needed for tracking large ensembles, orchestral sessions, and complex overdub workflows, making it a powerful tool for recording studios and production facilities managing sophisticated multitrack capture.
Connectivity & Signal Architecture
Dual optical multimode MADI fiber links enable redundant, rock-solid communication with compatible Soundcraft and Studer consoles over distances up to 1,500 meters, eliminating ground loops and RF interference that degrade recording quality in analog-cabled setups. The modular architecture accepts optional I/O cards—including AES/EBU, Dante, CobraNet, EtherSound, Aviom A-Net, and Blu Link—so the stagebox integrates seamlessly into any recording control room ecosystem without requiring complete hardware overhauls.
Preamp & I/O Capabilities
Sixty-four remote-controllable microphone/line preamplifiers with motorized gain adjustment, +48V phantom power, and 100Hz high-pass filter per channel provide precise gain management from the console during tracking, eliminating the need for stage-side gain adjustments and enabling consistent, repeatable recording takes. Thirty-two balanced analog line outputs deliver clean, isolated sends for control room monitoring, headphone mixes, click tracks, and secondary recording systems, all backed by dual power supplies for uninterrupted operation during critical sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What console does the Vi Stagebox Optical work with?
The Vi Stagebox Optical 64:32 is compatible with Soundcraft Vi1, Vi2, Vi4, Vi6, and Vi3000 consoles, as well as Studer digital consoles. It communicates via dual optical multimode MADI fiber links.
How far can I run the fiber-optic cables?
Dual optical multimode MADI fiber links support cable runs up to 1,500 meters without signal degradation, eliminating ground loops and RF interference inherent in long analog snake runs.
Can I add other I/O formats like Dante or AES/EBU later?
Yes. The stagebox features a modular architecture that accepts optional I/O cards including AES/EBU, Dante, CobraNet, EtherSound, Aviom A-Net, and Blu Link, allowing you to expand capabilities without replacing hardware.
What happens if one power supply or fiber link fails during a show?
The Vi Stagebox Optical includes dual power supplies and dual MADI fiber links for full redundancy, ensuring uninterrupted operation even if one component fails during critical events.
Are the microphone preamps remotely controllable?
All 64 microphone/line preamplifiers feature motorized gain adjustment, +48V phantom power, and a 100Hz high-pass filter that can be controlled remotely from the console, eliminating the need for stage-side gain tweaking.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $1,583 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
