[MUSIKMESSE] Soundcraft Vi2000

According to Soundcraft, the Vi2000 reinvents the small format digital console with an ultra-compact implementation of the same control surface layout and workflow as its larger Vi siblings. Featuring 96 inputs to mix, 24 mono/stereo busses and the same SpiderCore built-in DSP and I/O engine as the Vi3000, the console can also be used with remote I/O via the double option card slots and an optional Stagebox.

Features include:

• Control Surface
• • Input Faders     16
  • Output Faders     8 +3 (LRC masters) +1 (Monitor A/B)
  • Total Faders     28
  • 3D Vistonics screens     3 (2 input, 1 master)
  • Fader bay operation     4x Fixed Input layers A/B/C/D giving 64 inputs on 16 fdrs.
  • Input channels can be assigned to Master bay for 24 input fdrs.
  • 5x User layers 1–5
  • 1x Busses 1–16 Layer plus screen assign 17–24, for 24 mono/stereo busses
