Soundcraft Si AES/EBU 4+4 XLR Option Card

The Soundcraft Si AES/EBU 4+4 XLR option card equips compatible Si series consoles with four AES/EBU digital inputs and four AES/EBU digital outputs, each delivered on balanced XLR connectors. Fitting into the console’s ViSi Connect expansion slot, this card provides a direct, high-quality digital connection point for outboard equipment that uses the AES/EBU standard.

AES/EBU is a long-established professional digital audio interface, commonly found on outboard processors, broadcast equipment, and other mixing consoles. By adding four channels in each direction, this card allows engineers to bring digital sources directly into the console without an additional analog-to-digital conversion stage, preserving signal quality end to end.

The card is well suited to installations where a small number of dedicated digital connections are needed alongside the console’s existing analog and network I/O, such as connecting a digital playback source, broadcast feed, or another AES-equipped console for signal exchange.

As with other ViSi Connect cards, installation is straightforward, sliding into the console’s expansion bay and integrating with the console’s existing routing and patching menus for quick configuration.
