How many control devices can connect to the Ui24R mixing console simultaneously?

To ensure this connection works, you need a network that provides consistent signal flow for each user and should verify your local router can handle the traffic before you begin the setup.

Ui24R mixing console supports 10 simultaneous connections via independent network interfaces

The Ui24R handles these connections through independent network interfaces for simultaneous Wi-Fi and Ethernet control. This hardware distinction helps manage the data load for multiple users. Because the console supports 10 concurrent connections, you might wonder if your network can handle the load? Each device requires an IP address—a unique numerical identifier for your hardware on a network—and a DHCP lease, which is the system that automatically assigns those addresses to your gear. While the console supports the count, high network latency, which is the delay in data traveling between the console and your device, can cause disconnections if your Wi-Fi bandwidth is congested. We selected this mixer for our comparison because it offers a high device limit for a digital mixing console, which is a surface-mounted mixer controlled via a tablet or computer. The device is compatible with iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, though specific OS version requirements for each concurrent connection are not stated.

What to Check Before Buying the Soundcraft Ui24R

Before purchasing the Ui24R, verify your local network infrastructure to ensure it can support the specific requirements of a multi-user mixing environment.

You can see how the Ui24R performs in various scenarios by visiting our dedicated performance breakdown.

• Verify that your router can provide enough DHCP leases to accommodate 10 unique devices.
• Check that your Wi-Fi signal strength is stable enough to prevent latency-induced drops.
• Confirm that every tablet or laptop you plan to use meets the basic software requirements for the control app.
• Ensure your local network has enough bandwidth to handle the real-time data of 10 simultaneous streams.

Alternative Options for the Ui24R

The Ui24R serves users who need a flexible, remote-controlled mixing interface for small to mid-sized productions. If you require a high number of physical faders or a larger number of inputs than the 24 provided here, you should look at larger digital mixing consoles. Users who need more than 10 simultaneous control points or a higher density of physical hardware controls may find more traditional, large-scale mixing desks better suited to their workflow.

If you need a mixer that allows a team of up to 10 people to adjust levels from different locations at once, the Soundcraft Ui24R is a practical choice.

Many users wonder if multiple devices can control the Ui24R simultaneously.
