This document describes the V4.5 software release for Soundcraft Vi Series consoles, focusing on the new VM² (Vistonics Microphone Monitoring) feature. VM² integrates AKG wireless microphone status information directly into the console's channel strips, streamlining workflow and improving problem diagnosis. The V4.5 release also unifies the operating software for all Vi console models (Vi1, Vi2, Vi4, Vi6) into a single update file, simplifying future updates and bug fixes.
VM² leverages Harman's HiQnet network control protocol to display real-time status information from AKG wireless microphones within the Soundcraft Vi Series console's GUI. This includes details such as microphone mute status, audio clipping, RF signal strength, and battery levels. The system is designed to provide quick and easy access to critical microphone data, enhancing the operator's ability to monitor and troubleshoot wireless systems during live events.
