Soundcraft Ui24R – 24-Channel Digital Mixer with Multi-Track Recorder and Wireless Control
Soundcraft is a legendary British brand, renowned for over 50 years for its reliable, precise, and musical mixing consoles. Used on the world’s largest stages and in studios, the brand combines analog expertise with digital innovation to deliver tools that meet the needs of demanding sound engineers, musicians, and live technicians.
The Soundcraft Ui24R is a complete digital mixing and multi-track recording system. It delivers professional-grade audio quality, exceptional flexibility, and intuitive remote control. Rack-mountable in a 4U rack, it combines the power of a studio-grade console with the portability of an all-in-one system. Its built-in dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity enables direct control from any web browser without requiring a dedicated app. The Ui24R is compatible with all major platforms (iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux) and can be operated by up to 10 devices simultaneously.
The Ui24R features 20 Studer microphone preamps that deliver transparent and natural sound. It also includes acclaimed Lexicon effects (reverbs, delays, choruses) and dbx processing (compressors, limiters, and AFS2 automatic feedback suppression). The built-in DigiTech module adds guitar amp modeling, ideal for performers wanting to keep stage volume low without sacrificing tone.
Connectivity includes 24 simultaneous inputs — 10 combo XLR/TRS, 10 XLR, 2 line inputs, and 2 digital USB channels. The assignable outputs feature a 31-band graphic EQ and a real-time spectrum analyzer. Redundant multi-track recording of all channels and the stereo mix is possible simultaneously to a USB drive and a computer, ensuring maximum security for live or studio sessions.
With its firmware v3.0 update, the Ui24R introduces advanced functionality. The cascading mode links two Ui24R units via a 32x32 bidirectional audio bus. Cue Recall enables instant recall of mix configurations, while UDP control allows synchronization with lighting systems. Versatile, durable, and compact, the Ui24R stands as a benchmark solution for mixing and recording in both live and studio environments.
