Product Description
Soundcraft Realtime Rack Core Plus for Vi Series Live Sound Consoles
Overview
The 1 RU Soundcraft Realtime Rack Core Plus provides access to 14 industry-standard UAD audio plug-ins for use with Vi Series live-sound consoles—from rare compressors and equalizers to vintage reverb processors and tape machines. Powered by Universal Audio's DSP Accelerator hardware, UAD plug-ins deliver rich, out-of-the-box analog sounds to your mixes, difficult to achieve with native recording systems.
The Realtime Rack Core Plus hardware and software give Vi console operators all the flexibility needed to insert UAD plug-ins on individual channels, auxiliary channels, and master buses with 48 kHz, and less than 2-millisecond latency—just as easily as with real hardware. A comprehensive Soundcraft CUE/Snapshot system allows total recall of all plug-ins and their settings, while tight network integration with the Vi Series ensures that all settings of the application are stored inside the console.
The unit's robust SHARC-based processors run audio over standard Optical MADI connections. Dual redundant internal power supplies ensure that audio signals keep running even in the event of a power supply failure.
