Used Soundcraft Realtime Rack

The Soundcraft Realtime Rack is a dedicated UAD Powered Plug-Ins processing unit built for use with Soundcraft Vi Series live sound consoles. It brings advanced plug-in processing and effects to the console, giving engineers greater control over audio quality in both live performance and studio environments. It is available in at least two configurations: the Core and the Ultimate Live.

Soundcraft is a British professional audio brand founded in 1973 and part of Harman International since 1988, known for analogue and digital mixing consoles for live sound, broadcast and installation. The Realtime Rack sits within the Vi Series ecosystem as a dedicated processing expansion unit, designed to work alongside Vi Series consoles rather than as a standalone desk.

The Realtime Rack is designed specifically for Soundcraft Vi Series live sound consoles. Used units are sometimes found packaged alongside Vi Series desks such as the Vi600, where the Realtime Rack forms part of an integrated audio system. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their specific Vi Series console model before purchasing.

Both are variants of the Realtime Rack platform providing UAD Powered Plug-Ins for Vi Series consoles. The Core and Ultimate Live designations represent different tiers within the range, with the Ultimate Live positioned as the higher-level configuration. The specific processing or licence differences between the two variants are best confirmed against the individual listing or the unit's documentation.

Check which variant is listed (Core or Ultimate Live), as pricing will vary by configuration and condition. Confirm whether original packaging or a case is included, as some used units come in their original cardboard box. Verify the unit powers on and that any associated UAD licences or software are transferable.
