Soundcraft's new Vi4 Console.
UK - The Soundcraft Vi Series of digital live sound consoles has been extended with the new Soundcraft Vi4 model, offering "all the functionality and facilities of the Soundcraft Vi6, but in a smaller, more compact footprint more suited for space-conscious applications such as Theatres, Houses of Worship and venues or clubs with space-limited mix positions".

In just under 1.5m, the Soundcraft Vi4 offers access to 48 inputs on 24 faders, with a total of 27 output busses available for use as masters, groups, auxes or matrices. All other features of the Soundcraft Vi6, such as the Vistonics touch-screen user interface, and FaderGlow fader function display are inherited by the Soundcraft Vi4.

Also available on the Soundcraft Vi4 is the new Processing Card option, which adds eight powerful assignable Lexicon Effects sections, together with 30-band BSS Audio graphic equalisers available on every output.

Since its launch last year, the Soundcraft Vi6 has been used on major tours such as the Scissor Sisters and Illegal Eagles, and installed in venues like the Esplanade Theatre in Singapore and the Mean Fiddler in London.
