DiGiCo Quantum 7 Digital Mixing Console - MADI and One Multi-Mode Optic Loop ST

DiGiCo Quantum 7 Digital Mixing Console - MADI and One Multi-Mode Optic Loop ST

The fastest, smartest console ever created, Quantum 7 delivers the functionality, audio performance and sheer scale required to deliver the largest productions now and in the future. With Quantum 7, you have the power to tackle any challenge and truly own the room.

Built to exceed the ambitions of tomorrow’s touring productions, Quantum 7 breaks the barrier of seventh generation FPGA technology to deliver a dramatic leap forward in power and connectivity. All of this can be added to your existing SD7 surface, ensuring rental partners benefit from an even longer return on investment.

Features:

• 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 three 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 node of an aux buss. A full complement of processing can be allocated to the send allowing a unique mix tailored for the artist or the audience.
• True Solo: Allows the operator’s monitoring system to replicate almost any section of the console, and how that source is being processed and heard. This saves time and speeds up the process of managing the potentially daunting number of channels and busses available to the user.
