DiGiCo Quantum 225 Digital Mixing Console with DANTE2 Card

Following on from Quantum 338, Quantum 225 brings the power of Quantum in a compact and robust worksurface. Quantum 225 incorporates all of the new design features introduced in 2020 with the Quantum 338, and of course uses three large-scale seventh generation FPGAs to continue the unrivaled Quantum legacy. The console merges tried and tested workflows with immense processing muscle, bold innovation and all of the Quantum features, giving you the ultimate tool set.

Features:

• 72 Input channels with full processing
• 36 Aux/Sub-Group busses with full processing
• 12 x 12 Matrix with full processing
• 24 Insertable Mustard processing strips
• 32 Nodal processing instances
• True Solo function
• 41 TFT LCD displays
• 1 x 17” high-brightness, high-resolution touchscreen
• Mounting bracket for customization of the left worksurface
• Assignable channel layout
• User programmable macros
• Capable of redundantly mirroring with another Quantum 225 console
• Redundant PSUs as standard
• 2 DMI slots to expand the I/O as desired
• Integrated UB MADI
• Offline software
• iPad control
• DMI: We have also incorporated two dedicated DMI slots to accommodate the growing family of DiGiCo DMI card options. Allowing the console connectivity to be configured for the demand of the tour or event, you could plug in a Dante module, or the latest automatic mic mixing module. Each dedicated DMI slot provides you with an additional 64 x 64 I/O.

*DiGiCo MOD-DMI-DANTE2 64-Channel I/O 96 kilohertz Dante Expansion Card with 2x EtherCON Connectors

DMI-DANTE64@96

This card provides 64 inputs and 64 outputs to the Dante network at both 48kHz and 96kHz.

Audio over IP is becoming more and more sought after, due to the fact that it works over a standard IP network and can be sent over pre-installed infrastructure. Developed by Audinate in 2006, Dante provides uncompressed, low latency, multi-channel digital audio over IP and is a popular choice of protocol.

The DiGiCo DMI-DANTE64@96 allows 64 channels in and 64 channels out at both 48kHz and 96kHz. It has a Primary and a Secondary port, both of which are Ethercon ports, and an RJ45 Control port. The card has two modes that can be changed in Dante Controller. In Switched Mode, the three ports are switched together. In redundant mode, the Control and Primary ports shall be switched together and work as a redundant pair with the Secondary port, each having separate IP addresses so that if the primary connection fails, the secondary connection will take over.

Main Features

• 2 EtherCON Ports
• 1 RJ45 Port
• Switched mode switches the ports together
• Redundant mode allows the ports to work as a redundant pair
• AES67 Compatible
• Inbuilt SRC between 48kHz and 96kHz
• Compatible with S-Series, Quantum Range, SD12, Orange Box and 4REA4
