Soundcraft Vi3000 Vi Series Digital Live Sound Console
The Soundcraft Vi3000 delivers intuitive, hands-on control through a responsive interface combining 36 illuminated FaderGlow faders with four Vistonics II touch screens and 3D graphics. This console accommodates up to 96 inputs across 48 high-quality mic preamps and extensive I/O, making it equally capable handling intimate session recording or large-scale live tracking. The SpiderCore 40-bit floating point DSP engine and industry-standard Dante connectivity ensure pristine audio with minimal latency and exceptional sonic clarity.
Mix Architecture & Control Surface
The Vi3000 provides 36 faders controlling 24 mono/stereo busses, with color-coded FaderGlow illumination that immediately identifies each channel's function. Four independent Vistonics II touch screen interfaces with 3D graphics let you visualize your mix and access parameters intuitively, reducing menu diving and keeping your focus on the music and mix decisions.
Audio Performance & I/O
With 48 analog inputs, 16 analog outputs, dual Dante 64 x 64 and MADI fiber 64 x 64 connectivity, plus 4 channels of AES I/O, this console handles complex routing and networked audio integration with professional reliability. The SpiderCore engine delivers 40-bit floating point processing, sub-2ms latency at 48 kHz, exceptional audio specs (<0.003% THD, -126dBu EIN), and frequency response of +0/-1dB from 20Hz–20kHz.
