FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) These neat components have been around almost as long as DSP. Historically, due to their small size, they played the role of the glue logic in larger applications, allowing multiple DSP chips to communicate. As the technology has grown, so have the FPGAs. Much larger and smarter components are now available, with the latest generation chips providing our Quantum engines with huge processing capabilities, surpassing even the most advanced DSP engines.

Quantum Power Quantum brings an unprecedented level of power and connectivity, by harnessing the latest developments in processor technology and system design. We are now using up to five FPGAs as opposed to one, which simply wasn’t possible before. New GTX ports have been introduced, running at 6.6GHz, with multiple 6.6GHz links between, interconnected with pairs of wires; and each pair of wires can transport up to 2,000 channels at 96kHz. This means the board rate is much faster. Before Quantum, devices would be connected up with parallel ports, and it was very difficult to lay the boards out, but with this new technology, it’s just two wires as a differential pair, so the data speed is phenomenal. The fast interconnectivity has allowed us to make several FPGAs behave as one: this means you can share the workload of a device, and makes the device scalable; it can also communicate with next generation FPGAs as and when they come out. Stealth technology was the first FPGA-based audio processor of any large scale in this industry. Now it’s Quantum’s turn: four generations on. The engine can now automatically allocate devices to run different parts of the console: one device deals purely with the bussing and the combining of signals; another does channel processing and nodal processing together. This means you’re able to take your workload, and allocate it to multiple devices. More power. More speed. More flexibility. And it’ll allow the product to grow, as well.

Quantum Features The introduction of Quantum delivers a raft of new features, thanks to the implementation of the latest technology: There is an ARM processor, which handles all the communications between the host PC and the FPGA core; it’s the translator that communicates all the work surface flow to the core processor. There are now up to five fourth-generation SHARCs controlling the interpolation algorithms in the FPGA to produce that warm analogue feel, which will make a significant difference to any engineer.

Nodal Processing The patented Nodal Processing appreciates the demands on monitor engineers and sound designers to be able to provide creativity not only on the channels but actually on each channel aux send. A full complement of DiGiCo channel processing (including multiband compression and dynamic EQ) can be allocated to each aux send allowing a unique mix tailored for the artist or the audience. Using Nodal Processing essentially turns your Quantum console into a mixing console on the aux busses; users can now drop a whole channel’s worth of processing on each one of those sends, literally turning an aux send into its own channel. Nodal Processing opens engineers up to a new world of creative mixing possibilities. And Nodal Processing could even replace the requirement of a small monitor console in a West End or Broadway production.

True Solo Quantum True Solo builds on Nodal Processing, focusing on the needs of the monitor engineer. With True Solo, users have the option of emulating output processing options into the solo buss; when inputs are soloed, selecting your artist’s output buss in the True Solo panel emulates the output processing and you hear the signal exactly as the artist hears it. No guessing on how it will sound; just accurate true monitoring of your inputs. When combined with Nodal Processing, True Solo and Quantum deliver the ultimate set of tools for every monitor engineer.

Mustard Processing Making use of the Quantum engine’s seventh generation FPGA infrastructure, we’ve introduced Mustard processing – a brand new set of channel processing strips to work alongside your standard channel processing. Each Mustard processing strip provides a choice of two pre-amp modellers, a 4-band EQ (including all-pass filters), 4 different boutique style compressor models and a gate/ducker. What is more, Mustard processing strips can be used on any channel type. Spice Rack The Spice Rack is a new processing rack that supports plugin style native processing options, allowing you to build a rack of insertable processors. To kick things off, we launched the Chilli 6 – a 6-band multi-band compressor/ expander. Allowing full control over all parameters, including our unique release shape control, the Chilli 6 is perfect for shaping vocals and instruments with all the control you need. Following the Chilli 6 came the Naga 6 - a 6-band dynamic EQ. Designed for precision work, the Naga 6 is a must-have for taming problem frequencies.

Mix Minus Busses It is often a requirement in broadcast and corporate settings to provide a copy of a mix without a particular input, for example a remote guest listening to the main mix but without their own input. Mix Minus Busses, once a feature only available with DiGiCo Broadcast software, are now available on any Quantum console free of charge, allowing you to achieve this with a single button press. Every single mono channel can have its own mix minus output and these can be routed on-the-go, making them available whenever and wherever you need them.

www.digico.biz | 07

Faders Banks in blocks of 12 DiGiCo Quantum consoles are designed with banks of 12 faders plus master faders, all of which are assignable. Unlike the more common 8 fader banks that are found on the majority of digital consoles today, these provide the user with a much stronger platform from which to mix their audio palette. A good example of an application that really benefits from a 12 fader bank is working with a full drum kit: often, 8 channels just won’t cut it, and it can lead to limitations; having 12 faders in one bank means there is literally more room to play with, which adds more flexibility in your mix. The same can be said for larger orchestral sessions, where more channels are needed in the same bank to get the job done properly.

HTL - The Guiding Light Find what you need at the speed of light. When it comes to operating a console in a live, or other high pressure environment, it is fundamentally important that the desk works with the operator to provide the fastest and simplest way to create the mix you want. Fast access to channels, easy control of gain and quick intuitive management of all of the sends, dynamics, effects and EQ is where HTL comes into its own. Even operators with little or no experience of digital consoles will instantly be able to see which control on the desk alters which parameter, as HTL dynamically colour codes each rotary encoder to reflect the colour scheme of EQ, processing, effects or sends currently displayed on the screen. These RGB HTL rings can be found around all encoders on the hardware channel strips for quick adjustment of each EQ band and dynamics controls. They can also be found on every single row of assignable encoders on all Quantum consoles so that you can immediately find the controls you need. HTL - The guiding light

Dynamic EQ Dynamic EQs are the holy grail of audio mixing; it allows the audio level to dynamically control the amount of EQ being applied to the signal. To perform these calculations in realtime requires a serious processing resource, which many of today’s standard DSP systems simply cannot deliver, but DiGiCo’s FPGA based processing easily handles the processing with all Quantum consoles having Dynamic EQ available on every input and output channel and Nodal Processor.

Multi-Band Compression All Quantum consoles offer the option of multiband compression on every channel, inputs and outputs, plus every Nodal Processor. Nice and simple.

FX The Quantum range provides users with an FX rack to host high quality internal effects processors. With a selection of delay based and reverb effects to choose from, DiGiCo’s FX provide a wide range of tools for every situation. Depending on the model of the Quantum console, the number of internal FX varies between 12 and 48 stereo FX where up to 16 of these can be DiGiCo’s stereo floating point reverbs.

Buss Panning There are two different methods of buss panning available: Option 1 - Allows for a finer control to more centrally panned sources. Option 2 - Studio sine-cosine buss pan law gives equal control of the pan across the full stereo field, and provides a fuller dynamic mix across a stereo buss, sounding “fuller & wider” with more space in the centre of the mix.

iPad® Control DiGiCo’s Quantum App allows you to control any of the major parameters of your Quantum console over WiFi with an iPad. Better still, the iPad is not only a remote control surface, but also an expansion of the control surface. The iPad Quantum App allows you to add an extra 256 Macro buttons so you can have your quick access go-tos in one hand (literally), while the console remains clear to mix the show on.

Overview Screen This is an external DVI digital output that provides a complete overview of your console channels and metering; see all your channels, groups, auxes, matrices, control groups, metering, sub groups, and your master, all in an easy-to-navigate format.

Software Extensions Broadcast Advanced Monitoring System The 48x6 Monitor Matrix allows operators to monitor up to 8 full 5.1 surround sources through up to 3 different speaker setups. The Monitor Matrix also offers speaker inserts, delays, level calibration, quick select buttons and the ability to completely customise the upmixing and downmixing rules.

Backstop PFL Another important software feature that DiGiCo’s Broadcast software adds is Backstop PFL / Overpress. Any channel can be sent to the PFL buss simply by pulling back the fader to preview the audio before it goes live. There are also options for auto solo on a per channel basis and dual AFL/ PFL, allowing you to sculpt your workflow to suit every application.

Advanced Auto-Update Cue System DiGiCo’s Theatre software offers the most sophisticated and advanced auto-update cue system on the market. Users can choose exactly which parameters are updated throughout the cue list and apply separate rules for custom groups of channels. This means that Principals could follow one set of rules and the band channels follow another. It also offers exclusions for those instances where different settings need to be recalled only for one cue, and a comprehensive system for keeping track of all these changes throughout the cue list and making changes as and when they are needed.

Theatre

Aliases and Players During many Theatre productions, Sound Designers are faced with the challenge of costume changes throughout the show that may require changes to a channel’s processing. For this, DiGiCo’s Theatre software offers the Aliases feature. Custom, unique parameters can be stored and recalled in every scene where this costume change appears, and these also follow the same auto-update rules as standard channels. Another hurdle faced by Sound Designers is the accomodation of different actors playing the same role but requiring different processing. That is where Players comes in. Each input channel can have multiple Players with unique settings for each actor playing the role. What is more, these can be recalled at any time during the show in the event of an actor being taken ill mid show.

CG Membership When programming Theatre shows the assignment of CG members is a vital part of a smoothly running show. The Control Group Cues panel allows for quick assignment of CG members throughout the cue list with its spreadsheet style workflow.

Matrix Nodal Delays and Aliases Another valuable addition that comes with DiGiCo’s Theatre software is individual delays on each of the cross point matrix points. This allows sound designers to position sound and provide localisation cues based on level and timing data, allowing full creativity and flexibility. Matrices also benefit from Matrix Aliases, allowing them to be repurposed and reused throughout the show with custom auto-update rules.

CLA-2A Waves SuperRack

Waves Plugins In addition to the Quantum’s superb internal processing, you can also access all the plugins you know and love from the studio thanks to Waves SoundGrid®. Quantum consoles can connect to Waves SoundGrid devices through the built in SoundGrid Port or the optional SoundGrid Interface card providing 64 I/O channels. When using Waves SuperRack or MultiRack, there is also the built in DiGiCo integration that can be utilised to get quick access to the plugins you need, when you need to alter them.

www.digico.biz | 14

SoundGrid Servers A necessary component for a DiGiCo system with Waves integration is a server to run your plugins on. DiGiGrid have got you covered. The DGS-XL and the IOS-XL offer low latency real-time processing for all of your favourite Waves plugins at sample rates up to 96kHz. Their powerful i7 Extreme servers allow you to run as many plugins as you want, on as many channels as you’ve got, meaning they can handle even your heaviest sessions.

SoundGrid MADI Interfaces An easy recording and playback solution, the MGB and MBO SoundGrid interfaces offer up to 128 channels at 48kHz or 64 channels at 96kHz with either coaxial connectivity or optical MADI conenctivity. Perfect for virtual soundcheck or even being able to get more channels of audio into your server for processing. And if that’s not enough, the MGR offers twice the number of inputs and outputs in a compact 1U unit. That’s 128 channels at 96kHz or 256 channels at 48kHz.

RACKS D2-Rack

The 9U D2-Rack has a fixed format 48 inputs with 16 outputs fitted as standard. The output count can be increased to 32 by populating the 2 spare output slots with one or more of the 3 option modules – Line out or AES out. The 48 inputs can be specified as either 48 mic in or 24 mic/24 AES in. As standard, there are 2 MADI Ports, available either as BNC or DiGiCo CAT5E connections that are available on the SD9 and SD11. These ports allow rack sharing between two DiGiCo consoles or digital splits for recording. When running at 96K, these 2 ports combine to create a single high definition 96K MADI connection with no reduction in I/O.

The D2-Rack has dual redundant power supplies as standard with LED indicators on the front panel. The SD-Rack Style menu system allows for customised rack settings and the control and activation the D2-Rack’s internal oscillator.

Optional Aviom, AES and or Analogue Output cards

SD-NANO Rack At the smallest end of the spectrum is the SD-NANO Rack. This 2U stage box works almost exactly the same way as the MINI, except it is half the size and therefore can only handle half the amount of inputs and outputs. The NANO is only available with optical connectivity.

www.digico.biz | 18

ADAT Input/Output Card with optical connections

AES-42 Input Card for digital microphones

AES/EBU Input /Output Card (BNC)

AES/EBU Input Card (XLR)

Dante Input/Output Card

AES/EBU Input/Output Card with bi-directional sample rate conversion

AES/EBU Output Card

192kHz Analogue Output Card

Each interface card is hot swappable, so the SD-Rack will automatically identify and configure each card for you; and because the power supplies are located at the top of the rack (also hot swappable, by the way), you won’t find yourself battling through mountains of cable to get to them!

32-bit Mic/Line Input Card

The gain can be set independently on a channel-bychannel basis: once it’s set, each of the consoles on the loop can then Gain Track their own mixes; and if you do need to tweak any analogue gain settings, each Gain Tracked channel will automatically compensate, ensuring your mix stays the same. And what’s really cool is, any of those 5 consoles on the loop can then take control

There are 14 slots on the SD-Rack, which amounts to 56 ins and outs, and it comes with or without optics. When running at 48kHz, the two MADI ins and outs provide 56 fully redundant input and output connections via a duplicate MADI aux; and if you need to run at 96kHz, you can get a full complement of 56 channels of MADI (in and out).

192kHz Mic/Line Input Card

It’s also based around the same Stealth FPGA technology present in the SD and Quantum console engines, so it can run the optical loop at 96KHz, while providing a downsampled 48KHz feed to any additional console from one of the MADI output streams. This is industry-leading A/D conversion, and complete with DiGiCo’s famous Gain Tracking™, all consoles benefit from +/-40dB of digital gain.

of an analogue gain should clipping occur, safe in the knowledge that everyone else’s mix will be unaffected.

32-bit Analogue Output Card

SD-Rack The SD-Rack is the finest I/O rack available, capable of delivering up to 192kHz high resolution analogue I/O converters and multiple digital formats simultaneously, be it MADI, AES/EBU, Dante, AES-42, ADAT, or Aviom.

SD-MINI Rack The SD-MINI is a 4U rack and can accept SD input and output cards, be they analogue or digital, including AES/EBU, Dante, AES-42, ADAT, HD-SDI and Aviom. Running purely digital, the MINI can run up to 32 ins and outs. Or if it’s all analogue, you can have a maximum of 32 ins or outs or any combination in banks of 8 (8 in and 24 out for example). The MINI has MADI connectivity as standard, with optical as an option. There is also the ability to run the Gain Tracking™ split outputs at other sample rates to te rack for compatibly with external devices.

www.digico.biz | 19

RACKS The DQ-Rack and MQ-Rack are the latest in addition to the range of high sample rate racks.

MQ-Rack The MQ-Rack is exactly the same as the DQRack except it has BNC MADI connectivity. It features 2 BNC MADI ports to allow rack sharing between two DiGiCo consoles or digital splits for recording at 48kHz. When running at 96kHz, these 2 ports combine to create a single high definition 96kHz MADI connection with no reduction in I/O. The MQ-Rack gives the familiar MADI connectivity for your touring infrastructure allowing it to integrate with your existing DiGiCo infrastructure.

www.digico.biz | 20

DQ-Rack The compact 6U MQ-Rack features 48 mic/line inputs with up to 24 line outputs and up to 8 AES channels out. Clever audio design allows the user to reconfigure 4 of the analogue line outputs to be either analogue outputs or dual AES outputs. This I/O flexibility and other configuration changes are managed from the racks very own TFT Configuration screen. The DQ-Rack comes with dual PSU and can operate at 48kHz or 96kHz. It also features 2 locking EtherCON ports. This includes a Primary and a Secondary Dante connection just like many familiar Dante devices. The DQ-Rack still benefits from the SD-Rack style menu system, but with an updated TFT LCD screen as first seen on the Quantum338 console. This allows for customised rack settings including control over the protocol used in the 4 flexible output XLRs and control and activation the DQ-Rack’s internal oscillator. The DQ-Rack with integrated Dante is perfect for AV installation and the demands of an AoIP networking environment.

DUAL ASSIGNABLE MASTER FADERS

When DiGiCo built the SD7, we never thought anyone would fill the console. However, with the constant rise in production values, and audiences demanding more and more from their favourite artists, tours are now regularly pushing multiple SD7s to maximum capacity. Shows are significantly bigger than they used to be and as a result, engineers are needing to handle many more inputs, outputs and channels. To address this issue, we have developed Quantum7, a newer, smarter engine which offers so much more to users on so many levels, and provides engineers with a major upgrade to new generation technology with no learning curve whatsoever. In creating Quantum7, we wanted to guarantee that our customer base could maintain a return on their historical investment by providing them an affordable engine upgrade for their existing work surface. We needed to make the next major technological step forward, and by using seventh generation FPGA technology, that’s what Quantum has done. Quantum7 makes shows easier to manage with plenty of room for growth; it’s a more flexible system, four generations newer in processing capability, and a formidable platform for future development. Faster, more efficient, future-proof, and way more powerful.

Touchscreens Instant Control 15” Touchscreens, super high-resolution, touch-sensitive TFT LCD backlit display. Quantum7 offers three screens. These large touch screens are one of the defining features of the DiGiCo Quantum7, bringing all of the information and control to where you need it, quickly and easily. The high-resolution screens are the hub of the user interface, and for realtime information, act as the primary command centre. They also work completely intuitively with every other control within the console, automatically displaying functions that are relevant to what the operator is working on there and then. It’s all about ease-of-use and speed with the Quantum7.

www.digico.biz | 46

Gold Power Designed for the rigours of touring, the Quantum7 features dual redundant quick release 500W power supplies. With gold global 12V power bussing and local point-of-load architecture, Quantum7 reinvents power busses for touring consoles and ensures your Quantum7 performs flawlessly at every gig. Local I/O The Quantum7 has local I/O in abundance. The Quantum7 includes 12 analogue inputs, 12 analogue outputs, and 12 AES I/O (6 stereo); 4 redundant MADI ports per engine (which can also be configured as 8 MADI ports at 48kHz), and 1 Optocore loop (with an optional second if required). Connectivity Quadruple redundant MADI in/out (which can also be configured as 8 MADI I/O at 48kHz), dual DMI card slots, support for dual 2nd generation Optocore loops, built-in UB MADI USB interface, 16 GPIO, MIDI, 4 switched network ports, USB, and a digital Overview Monitor Output. Plus as standard there is a built in Waves SoundGrid Interface card giving you an extra 64 I/O for connecting to the SoundGrid Network.

Touch Screens Instant Control

One of the defining features of the DiGiCo range of consoles is the large touch screens, bringing all of the information and control to where you need it, quickly and easily. Quantum338 and Quantum326 are no exception, and feature three and two 17” 1000 nit high-brightness PCAP (Projected capacitive touch ) TFT screens respectively, one for each section of the console. The new high-resolution screens give an expansive view of the new Quantum Dark Application, with the extra screen real-estate providing room for on-screen quick select buttons and a full on screen meter-bridge. Access to the channel strip and all of its features is just a touch away. Simply select your channel and use the Hidden Till Lit rotaries or Quick Select buttons to select or alter your required parameters. As you change fader banks, access Set Spills or fold and unfold multi-channel faders the information on the screens changes instantaneously to reflect the channel setup. Multiple Touch Screens - See, Touch, Hear.

Quantum3s also feature TFT displays providing users with even more visual feedback. 70 on the Quantum338 and 51 on the Quantum326. That’s one for every channel, every row of assignable encoders, every fader bank and layer button, every macro, and one for snapshots. Featuring channel and bank names, channel meters, channel colour coding, macro and snapshot info, the 96x96 resolution TFT’s take surface feedback to a new level. Furthermore, these channel meters aren’t just for mono or stereo input channels. Even when working with busses up to 5.1, all of your metering information is right at your fingertips. Quantum338 and Quantum326 don’t stop there when it comes to visual feedback. Every hardware channel strip also benefits from new Dynamics metering, and both master faders feature extra bright responsive meters next to the faders.

THEATRE

From a mixing perspective, theatre is a notoriously tough sector to work in, as so much is going on all of the time. With this in mind, we designed a theatre (T) extension to the standard Quantum software, which opens more doors for operators working in that environment, and provides more flexibility. Many theatre operators still like to mix hands-on, so we’ve added some cool additional elements that allow the console to take care of more of the ‘behind the scenes work’ for you: a more powerful cue list automation and editing, and the ability to alter your cues on the fly, are prime examples. The Quantum7T and Quantum338T are everything their standard counterparts are but with a theatrical twist, adding the most advanced set of cue processing tools known to man (or should that be machine?). For this reason, DiGiCo Theatre software is the standard in theatre mixing worldwide. There are several key benefits for theatre operators to get excited about: DiGiCo’s Advanced Cue Update system, Channel Aliases, and Matrix Nodal Delays. The Nodal Delays can add more than 2,000 individually recordable delay settings, which are super-crucial in theatre world when it comes to aligning groups of speakers, and getting your positioning spot-on within the sound field. As with everything DiGiCo, the Cue Update programming tools have been developed in conjunction with some of the world’s leading sound designers, which has resulted in an Auto Update System which offers precise control over the update and recall of channel settings in every single cue. The Aliases come into play when an actor needs to change costume or character: channel settings will change, but the actor won’t, so this cool function populates the show with that person’s unique channel settings (EQ, dynamics, etc.), so all the programming and cue-to-cue changes are retained, they’re just updated with new actor specific settings.

Many of today’s leading international theatre productions incoporate child actors, who are limited by law in terms of how many working hours they are allowed to put in, so several child actors will often be assigned the same role, and they’ll alternate shows. This also means different tonal and dynamic qualities will appear in their respective voices, and from the operator’s point of view, much like when an understudy is taking the lead for a performance, they’re not always sure until the last minute who is going to play that character on the night. This is where the DiGiCo Players tool comes in: operators are able to apply settings for numerous actors under the same character name, and then choose which actor is playing a particular role; the production is then automatically updated with all of the correct settings (EQ, dynamics, filters, etc.) but without destroying the specific cue-to-cue programming you’ve made. Another neat little tweak is the addition of a VCA programming map, which allows the operator to see (and plan) changes throughout the show. Poor programming can make the life of a theatre operator pretty hellish, especially as the shows are so cue-heavy, but a function like this helps alleviate all that stress, and stops the operator from losing his or her mind when trying to keep up!

BROADCAST

Broadcast applications can be particularly demanding to mix, which led to us designing a bespoke broadcast (B) extention to the standard Quantum software, which goes that stage further. As well as extra facilities the console’s routing flexibility has rocketed, to allow for LCRS and 5.1 mixes as well as the usual stereo and LCR. And that’s just for starters.

The Quantum7 and Quantum5 always include surround capability, of course, but the B software also adds solo options, Backstop PFL, Dual AFL and PFL, Auto Fader PFL, and Surround Solo Busses. The Solo options integrate with a fully customisable monitor matrix, where you can make multiple speaker selections, catering for up to 5.1. Furthermore, we’ve included Mix Minus busses, which are also perfect for applications such as radio phone-ins, or remote satellite feeds; and any mono busses can be used as a Mix Minus.

What’s really great and unique about these application-specific enhancements is, there is no hardware change, so from a rental company’s point of view, for example, it’s perfect: to turn your existing Quantum console into an QuantumT or a QuantumB all you need to do is get a software extension, which takes just a few seconds; and in a few more seconds, you can return it back to its live self, as a regular Quantum7 or Quantum5. There is no need to add to your inventory, because the Quantum Range is the gift that keeps on giving.

“I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with and deploy DiGiCo on a number of large scale Broadcast events and truly appreciate the performance, flexibility and reliability of both the “The console is the most powerful, problem-free product and the support team.” device in the whole truck!” Kevin Cleary Broadcast Audio Producer Rodney Kobayakawa, GM, NEP Hawaii

“A lot of our events are setup, shoot and strike and in a single, 10-hour day and I’ve got to give individuals that have never operated the console before a generic overview in less than an hour. I believe I’m able to do that rather well because the console is very easy to use. And DiGiCo’s training and customer service in that area is exceptional.” Kory Loy, Engineer in Charge, Sure Shot Transmissions

DiGiCo’s digital evolution really began with the release of the D5 Live – a breakthrough console that turned the pro-audio world on its head, and raised eyebrows across the industry. A super-powerful and slick piece of kit, with a massive feature set, which would set the standard for years to come. Fast-forward 5 years, and the first of the SD-Range was born – another real trend setter, combining a quick and intuitive user interface, and sonic capabilities that are still yet to be beaten. Each console in the range retains that classic analogue feel, with the ultimate in digital processing. The SD-Range raised the bar in many ways: not only in terms of power and flexibility, but creativity; never before had engineers experienced Super FPGA technology, which allowed for massive I/O capabilities, and the ultimate dynamic toolbox, easily accessible at the press of a button or via the touch screen. From the rackmount SD11, all the way up to the flagship SD7, and everything in between, there is an SD console suited to every possible audio application - and they all pack a similar punch. Be it a bar or club gig, a stadium world tour, or a massive broadcast event such as The Grammys or The Oscars, the SD-Range s is so often the go-to. In 2015, DiGiCo launched the S-Series: S21 and S31, which brought serious power in a super-small package; and in 2016, Stealth Core 2 software multiplied the power of the SD-Range. In 2017, DiGiCo released the SD12; a small footprint, powerful, and highly advanced console, with all the functionality and processing power you’d expect from an SD console, but at an unbelievable pricepoint. Suited to any application, from live touring to broadcast, it brought industry firsts, as well as dual 15-inch touchscreens, that familiar DiGiCo workflow, and advanced connectivity. In 2018, DiGiCo delivered the first in a new generation of console, Quantum7. Once again turning the pro-audio world on its head, Quantum7 showed the immense power that can be provided with three seventh generation FPGAs working in unison. With huge channel counts and all new features like Nodal Processing and True Solo, the start of the Quantum range gave a dramatic leap forward in power and connectivity. Following on from the huge success of Quantum7, 2020 saw the expansion of the Quantum range with Quantum5 and Quantum338. Providing all of the Quantum features, Quantum338 gives all new hardware features such as “Ultimate Stadius” 32bit local I/O and the three huge 17” super bright, high resolution, PCAP touchscreens, making sure that you won’t miss a thing. Now in 2021, the new Quantum225 unleashes the power of Quantum on all new markets due to its compact and robust worksurface. Designed to be agile and flexible, the Quantum225 is able to adapt to the demands of our changing world.
