What the Users are saying  

You may have noticed from the news on the website how excited our Soundcraft Vi6 Clients are about their consoles. Here's just a few of their quotes.

"....and I have to say, it is one of the nicest sounding consoles I’ve ever heard. It's just such a good interface, light years better than both the Digico and the Yamaha PM5D, and it sounds better as well! Finally, here's a live console that doesn't require a keyboard or mouse, or an instruction manual for that matter, to do the simplest thing. Patching, labelling, mixing, automation, all in front of you and easy to see the status of EVERYTHING.  The more I think about it, choosing this console was a no-brainer."

"With the Vistonics™ II touch screen interface, the Soundcraft Vi6 is so much more user-friendly than other digital consoles; you don't have to peer at one little screen, instead there are 5 generous TFT monitors. ...The board has only just been launched, so we're in a pioneering position, but the features we get on the Vi6 have made it worthwhile for us to pioneer this console. We're really happy with it."

"Soundcraft has done its homework right, the sound is better than any other digital console in this price bracket, and it is so easy to operate, you don't have to read the manual!" ..."matrices, auxes, VCAs, subgroups – everything is there.  The stagebox, local rack, it's all included for a really good price....At Le Festival d'été, there were artists and engineers from the US, Canada and the UK, everybody wanted to try the Vi6.  After the show, the talk was about how good the sound is, and how impressively easy they found the ergonomics.  We expect to see it on artists' riders in the very near future."

"It’s the first digital console I’ve used where the metering and the dynamics behave like an analogue console. The Vi6 uses the same language as an audio engineer, and I feel it’s really smoothing out the transition between analogue and digital....The Vi6 has the excellent Vistonics™ II touch-sensitive interface, which allows you to go directly to where you want to make the change. It’s much quicker. In fact, there are many things that are a lot quicker to do on the Vi6 than on an analogue console, such as ganging. You can link a number of channels together, and, once they're linked, anything you do on one channel affects all of them — you can use this, for example, to set up the whole desk really quickly."

"We’ve known Soundcraft for many years and have been familiar with their trusted MH range, but have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the digital Vi6. We were not disappointed – our first experiences with it have been very exciting. The user interface is captivating and the architecture is well thought out."
