Description
The DiGiCo MOD-Q225-DS-UP is a factory hardware upgrade kit designed specifically for existing Quantum 225 digital mixing consoles. It converts the standard Quantum 225 into the enhanced Quantum 225DS configuration. The upgrade is performed using genuine DiGiCo hardware to ensure complete compatibility and dependable operation. Every component is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the original console architecture.
Dual-Screen Enhancement
The primary benefit of the upgrade is the addition of the Quantum 225DS dual-screen operating environment. The expanded display area allows engineers to monitor channels, routing, metering, and processing simultaneously. Having more information visible at once reduces navigation time during live productions. The larger workspace improves overall workflow and operational efficiency.
Genuine Factory Hardware
The MOD-Q225-DS-UP utilizes genuine DiGiCo factory hardware specifically engineered for the Quantum platform. Every component is designed to match the original console's mechanical and electronic specifications. Factory-approved hardware ensures maximum reliability and long-term performance. The upgrade preserves the console's professional build quality and operational consistency.
Improved Workflow
Upgrading to the Quantum 225DS configuration significantly enhances day-to-day operation. Engineers can organize multiple control windows across two displays for faster access to essential functions. This reduces the need to switch between pages during live performances. Complex productions become easier to manage with improved visual organization.
Under The Hood
Quantum 225DS brings two 17-inch, 1000 nit, high brightness multitouch screens with both a meter bridge and soft quick select buttons for quick and intuitive operation. 41 individual TFT LCDs displaying channel information and metering, bank information, macros and more guide you immediately to the controls you need. Plus, 25 100mm touch sensitive faders in two banks of 12 plus a dedicated user-assignable master fader with high resolution metering.
With a maximum of 72 input channels with 36 busses and a 12 x 12 matrix, all with full channel processing, Quantum 225 brings Quantum to a wider user base. Also included as standard are Mustard Processing channel strips, Spice Rack plugin style native FPGA processing options, Nodal Processing and True Solo.
I/O
Despite being a smaller format console, there hasn’t been any sacrifice when it comes to connectivity.
Local I/O: Quantum 225DS offers local I/O includes 8 analogue inputs, 8 analogue outputs and 2 AES I/O (4 channels)
MADI: Quantum 225DS offers 2 redundant MADI in/out at 48kHz, which can also be configured as 4 MADI I/O. At 96kHz this acts as 2 MADI I/O with full channel counts.
Optocore: The Quantum 225DS offers the option to add a single or dual loops of Optocore. On each loop, which is 504 channels of audio; there can be up to 14 DiGiCo racks, or a combination of racks and tie-lines around the loop. With dual Optocore loops, that’s 1,008 Optocore channels of audio and 28 racks running.
UBMADI: In addition, the engine has a 48-channel UBMADI, so you can connect any laptop via USB and get 48 channels of recording and playback.
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.
Waves: There is also an option to add Waves connectivity if you want to utilise SoundGrid processing, giving you a 64 x 64 additional I/O.
