Frequently Asked Questions
What does a 96kHz fully multimode optical local rack do for Vi5000 and Vi7000 consoles?
The ViLR-96FO expands Vi5000/Vi7000 mixing consoles with 384 I/O, five optical MADI links, and advanced processing—enabling massive input/output capacity for large-scale productions.
Why would a major touring production require 96kHz sample rate instead of 48kHz?
96kHz support ensures ultra-high audio fidelity for broadcast, high-end studio recording, and productions where pristine sonic quality is a contractual requirement or critical to the artist's sound.
What is the advantage of having 5 optical MADI links in the ViLR-96FO?
Multiple MADI links provide redundancy and bandwidth for 384+ simultaneous I/O channels, supporting massive live productions without data congestion or audio dropouts.
How does the ViLR-96FO's active breakout box improve field setup at touring venues?
The active breakout box delivers low-impedance analog signals and balanced audio outputs to monitors, recording devices, and outboard gear, reducing cable losses and setup complexity.
What does BSS dynamic processing contribute to a high-end touring console system?
Onboard BSS dynamics provide professional-grade compression, gating, and EQ on every input channel, delivering studio-quality sound shaping at large live venues without external processors.
Can the ViLR-96FO handle simultaneous FOH mixing, broadcast feeds, and remote monitor station feeds at major events?
Yes, the 384 I/O capacity and dual-network connectivity support complex architectures with multiple mixing positions and broadcast infrastructure at demanding large-scale productions.
