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.
