Soundcraft 5080890 Realtime Rack Core Plus for Vi Series Live Sound Consoles

Enhance Your Live Sound with Soundcraft Realtime Rack Core Plus
The Soundcraft Realtime Rack Core Plus revolutionizes live sound mixing by integrating with Vi Series consoles to provide access to 14 industry-standard Universal Audio (UAD) plug-ins. This 1 RU powerhouse transforms your live mixing experience, bringing vintage reverb processors, rare compressors, and tape machines right to your fingertips. With its robust build and seamless integration, the Realtime Rack Core Plus is an essential tool for any live sound engineer seeking the warm, rich analog sound that UAD plug-ins are famous for.

Powered by Universal Audio's DSP Hardware
At the heart of the Realtime Rack Core Plus is Universal Audio's renowned DSP Accelerator hardware. This technology ensures that each UAD plug-in runs with precision, offering less than 2 milliseconds of latency at 48 kHz. This near-zero delay is critical in live sound environments where timing is everything, allowing sound engineers to apply complex audio processing without perceptible delay.

Total Recall with Soundcraft Integration
One of the standout features of the Realtime Rack Core Plus is its deep integration with Soundcraft Vi Series consoles. This integration includes a comprehensive CUE/Snapshot system that allows total recall of all plug-ins and their settings. Whether you are tweaking during soundcheck or in the middle of a live show, every adjustment is stored and recallable at the touch of a button, ensuring your audio mix is both flexible and consistent.

Robust Connectivity and Redundant Power
The unit's connectivity options are vast, featuring standard Optical MADI connections and dual Thunderbolt ports for linking with other equipment. It is equipped with dual redundant internal power supplies, which provides reliability and peace of mind during live performances. Should one power supply fail, the other instantly takes over without interrupting the audio stream.

Expandable and Customizable Plugin Options
Although the Realtime Rack Core Plus comes loaded with 14 top-tier UAD plug-ins, additional plug-ins can be purchased and added via UA's online store. This feature allows sound engineers to customize their audio tools to suit specific needs and preferences, from vintage soundscapes to modern sonic textures.
