Soundcraft 5056738 – Vi Blu Link Active Breakout Box (Active Breakout Unit)
The Soundcraft 5056738, commonly known as the Vi Blu Link Active Breakout Box, is a professional active I/O interface unit designed for Soundcraft Vi Series Local Rack systems, including those used with Vi5000 and Vi7000 digital mixing consoles. It replaces traditional passive breakout panels with an active digital interface, providing greater flexibility and improved signal handling for local analog and digital audio connections.

Key Features:

• Active Digital Communication: Utilizes the BLU Link digital audio networking protocol to connect local audio I/O directly to the Local Rack’s DSP core via an installed BLU Link card.

• Comprehensive I/O Connectivity: Supports a combination of analog and digital connections, including:

  • Line-level inputs and outputs

  • AES/EBU digital I/O

  • Monitor and talkback outputs

  • Microphone inputs
    (Exact I/O quantities depend on the Local Rack configuration and installed option cards.)

• Vi Local Rack Integration: Purpose-built to operate as the primary I/O interface for Vi5000 and Vi7000 Local Rack systems.

• Enhanced Signal Integrity: As an active breakout solution, it enables internal digital audio transport and provides more reliable performance for high-channel-count and demanding workflows compared to passive panels.

Applications:
Ideal for touring systems, live sound production, theaters, and large-scale installations, the Vi Blu Link Active Breakout Box delivers robust connectivity, improved signal integrity, and flexible system integration within Soundcraft Vi Series environments.
