Introduction To The Soundcraft Vi2 - SoundCraft Vi2 User Manual Supplement

Introduction to the Vi2
The Soundcraft Vi2 is a new Control Surface in the Vi range, designed as an alternative to the existing Vi4
and Vi6 Surfaces. The Vi2 Surface is designed to connect to the same Local and Stagebox units as the Vi4
and Vi6, but is ideal for use when the space available is restricted or when large numbers of input faders
are not required. Despite its small size (well under a metre in width) the Vi2 allows full access to the same
number of input channels and busses as a Vi6 surface, which could be up to 96 inputs and 35 busses.
The Vi2 is essentially the two far right-hand bays of a Vi6 surface, and therefore comprises 8 input faders
to the right, and 8 bus master or VCA faders to the left, with the main Master LRC and Monitor output fad-
ers in the middle. Input channels are accessed via the 8 input faders, using either the input meter screen
touch facility, or the fixed and user-definable fader page controls at the bottom left of the front panel.
Apart from the smaller number of input faders, operation of the Vi2 is identical to that of the Vi4 or 6. You
can also create Show files on a Vi2 and load them into a Vi4 or 6, or vice versa.
