Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. possible to connect to Soundcraft 16i stage box?

A: No, the 16i is intended for use with Soundcraft's Si series consoles. You can use the Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 16 (B&H # SOMSB) which is compatible with the Vi1000 as well as any of the Vi or Si range of consoles. The Mini Stagebox 16 connects via a MADI card fitted to the option card slot.

Q: 2. Can i use a Dijital Shake with this mixer?

A: The TF mixer can be modified to utilize the proprietary Tio interface that connects via Cat5.

Q: 3. Does this board work with Protools and does it control the Protools interface?

A: You may use the Soundcraft Si Impact to record audio into protools via the USB interface. You may not however control the protools software interface because this is not a midi controller.

Q: 4. Is the Dugan Automixer still included on 8channels?

A: Yes it does: How the AUTOMIXER works: The TF series AUTOMIXER uses the Dugan speech system, which automatically adjusts the gain of up to 8 mics. Unlike limiters or auto-level controllers, the Dugan speech system lets the engineer control individual levels as usual, even when more than one person is talking at the same time. Also, the audio on the mics is detected and the gain is automatically distributed when no one is talking, so the faders can be left up When one person talks, the gain on that mic instantly rises, and the gain on other mics is lowered. This works the same when another person speaks. When two people talk at the same time, the gain between the two mics is automatically distributed to provide a uniform total gain, and the gain on the remaining mic is lowered. NOTE: • The AUTOMIXER is placed directly after the channel ON for CH1–CH8. • When the Pre button for SEND TO AUX on CH1–CH8 is off, signal is sent from directly after the AUTOMIXER to the AUX bus. • When CH1–CH8 are stereo linked together, the AUTOMIXER parameters will not be linked.

Q: 5. any stage box

A: You can use the Mini Stagebox 32 (SOMSB32R) or Mini Stagebox 16 (SOMSB), with the required MADI option card for the Vi1000.

Q: 6. Can a Dante care be installed on this unit?

Q: 8. Can you install and use third party plugins with this desk?

Q: 9. Is there an input & output XLR AT the rear of VI5000 , that we can use it as stand alone without needing the local rack ?

A: Yes, the Soundcraft Vi5000 Mixing Console can be used as a standalone mixer without the local rack. It does have XLR inputs and XLR outputs on the back.

Q: 10. How can I split the inputs for video recording?

A: The cleanest way to split the inputs would be to purchase and utilizing a DANTE option card (SO5031819V ) for the SI 40. Then with a separate purchase of DANTE Virtual Soundcard loaded on a computer, you could record up to 64 tracks of audio into a DAW to sync to a video recording later. This would require connecting the DANTE card and computer via a DANTE approved switch (BH#CISG35010K9N), and using DANTE controller to route the audio from the board to the computer. Please not that the console itself would control the overall gain level of each channel.
