Soundcraft Vi7000 with SB6432 Stagebox

The Soundcraft Vi7000, paired with the SB6432 stagebox, forms a flagship-class digital mixing system renowned for its exceptional sound quality, flexible routing capabilities, and intuitive control surface—ideal for large-scale live events, broadcast facilities, and touring productions. At its heart, the Vi7000 console combines Soundcraft’s “Virtual Integration” touchscreen platform with 64 motorized faders, configurable in flexible banks for an efficient hands-on mixing experience. Its integrated 15.4” multi-touch main screen and ten touchscreen layers help engineers visualize and control nearly every aspect of their audio world—VU meters, channel configurations, buses, effects, and more—all accessible through intuitive taps or swipes. The SB6432 complements this setup by extending the I/O footprint, offering 32 mic inputs and 32 line outputs via MADI Ethernet and optical connectivity, ensuring clean, low-latency signal transmission from stage to console—even across long cable runs or large event setups.

The console itself handles up to 192 input channels and 96 busses, with internal patching and routing that simplify complex configurations. The Vi7000 combines this with Soundcraft’s acclaimed GB VCA fader architecture, powerful DSP, and its WaveGrid microphone preamps, which offer detailed timbral accuracy and low noise. Onboard lexicons, reverbs, delays, and dynamics processors allow full local processing, while optional Dante and MADI network cards expand routing flexibility. Smooth integration with stage networking is achieved using the SB6432, enabling an efficient, centralized audio distribution system that supports long-term reliability and live adaptability.

Sound engineers appreciate the Vi7000’s physically ergonomic layout. Its motorized faders and customizable layouts—complete with color-coded metering and assignable soft-touch buttons—support fast workflow, even in high-pressure events. The console’s remote software offers additional control from PCs or tablets via Ethernet, enabling flexible workflow for monitors or broadcast mixing behind the scenes. If expansion is required, the SB6432 supports multi-stagebox linking, providing engineers with the ability to bring the reliable Vi7000 platform to venues of almost any scale without sacrificing audio fidelity or access.

In summary, the Soundcraft Vi7000 paired with the SB6432 stagebox is a superior mixing solution that combines console-level comfort, expandable I/O, and immersive sound control. This system is tailored for environments demanding broad channel counts, multi-layered mixing control, and stable live operation. Whether deployed in touring, theater, worship production, or broadcast, it delivers the power, precision, and adaptability required by elite-level sound professionals seeking robust, user-friendly, and scalable audio control.
