Digital live sound mixing system with one channel section of 8 input faders and master section which holds 12 faders. It can handle 72 or 96 channels using standard stagebox and local rack hardware, with access to 8 inputs at time on channel bay. By simply touching input meters on Vistonics screen of master section, control of those inputs is brought onto channel faders, along with all channel functionality such as equalizer, auxes, groups. In addition to meter selection, three fully customisable layouts of 8 input faders are available via new user-defined fader page feature that is part of the V4.0 software update for all Vi consoles. It will therefore appeal to anyone who wants to use Vi console but has more limited space than usual in which to operate. For example, it could be easily brought in at stage side for monitors alongside an existing console at festivals, or in corporate events where input access is less demanding than multi-piece live band. It is also suitable for use as space-efficient spare console and as an easily transportable training or programming unit. The Vi2’s show files are fully compatible with Vi4 and Vi6 consoles and also with virtual Vi offline editing software.
