Soundcraft Vi2000 - Compact digital console with 96-channel workflow

The Soundcraft Vi2000 is a compact digital mixing console featuring the innovative Vistonics interface with three touchscreens and 28 faders (16 inputs, 12 outputs), offering access to up to 96 input channels with flexible routing and 246 simultaneous channels of mixing (246 inputs / 214 outputs) via two D21m slots for XLR modules or Dante™ 64x64 cards. Its 40-bit floating-point SpiderCore DSP engine at 48 kHz ensures professional audio quality, while vMIX automation, BSS DPR901ii dynamic EQ, and Lexicon® algorithms enable advanced dynamics and effects processing without compromising performance. With Dante™, MADI, AES/EBU connectivity, and D21m expansions, the Vi2000 adapts to touring, corporate installations, and AV environments with an intuitive and scalable workflow.
