About the Soundcraft 5045894.v ViS HQ Microphone Card Channel 1-16

The Soundcraft 5045894.v is a high-quality input card, often referred to as a microphone card or I/O card, designed for the Soundcraft Vi series digital mixing consoles, specifically populating slots for channels 1 through 16. This card is a core component responsible for the console's analog audio input stage, housing the critical microphone preamplifiers and analog-to-digital converters for a bank of channels. It embodies the proprietary SuperAnalogue™ technology that Soundcraft is renowned for, delivering exceptionally low noise, high headroom, and transparent gain to ensure the purest possible signal is digitized for internal processing.

Each card typically manages 8 input channels, meaning two such cards are required to service the first 16 channels of a Vi console. The card slots into a dedicated bay within the console's mainframe, connecting directly to the central processing and control motherboard. The channels on this card feature combo XLR/TRS input jacks, individually switchable +48V phantom power, and precision gain control. The performance of these preamps is a significant factor in the console's overall sound quality, making this card a crucial element for critical listening environments in broadcast, live sound, and theater.

For technical support and maintenance, this part number represents a genuine spare or replacement module. In the event of a hardware fault affecting the first 16 inputs, a technician can replace this card to restore full functionality without needing to service the entire console. For system integrators or rental houses, having such spare cards on hand is essential for ensuring maximum uptime and quick resolution of technical issues, safeguarding the investment in the sophisticated Vi series mixing platform.
