Soundcraft Ui24R

Soundcraft’s Ui24R is a digital mixing and multitrack recording system with flexible I/O, wireless control, and roadworthy reliability, as part of the new Harman Connected PA ecosystem

The system can be controlled by up to ten devices via Ethernet or built-in dual-band Wi-Fi, making it possible to control mixing and multitrack recording wirelessly. There is onboard Lexicon, dbx and DigiTech signal processing, and 20 Studer-designed mic preamps.

Ui24R provides 24 input channels, including ten combo/XLR, ten XLR, two line level, and two digital mix channels for a total of 24 simultaneous inputs. Onboard effects processing includes Lexicon reverbs, choruses and delays, dbx compression plus two channels of DigiTech guitar and amp modeling. dbx AFS2 automatic feedback suppression is available on all monitor outputs.

Ui24R’s remote control allows engineers to control mixes from anywhere in a venue. Up to ten devices can be connected simultaneously across reliable dual-band Wi-Fi, so musicians can adjust their individual mix on stage while the FOH engineer optimises the audience mix. Thanks to HTML5 compatibility, the system can be controlled from any modern browser – including iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OS and Linux devices – without apps.

Ui24R allows engineers and musicians to redundantly record their stereo mix, plus all 22 multitrack inputs, directly to a USB storage drive and a connected computer. The Ui24R is equally suited to multitrack recording, with integration between its USB audio interface and a DAW of choice.

Soundcraft Ui24R is part of the Harman Connected PA family of products, and offers full compatibility with the new Harman Connected PA app (available Q2 2017) for control and set-up. Connected PA eliminates the need for multiple apps or GUIs and delivers plug-and-play operation with a variety of Harman equipment so users can control a live sound system one app. Products within the Connected PA ecosystem self-identify with the new app for set-up, and set-up wizards help set volume and configuration.
