Powerful Processing Engine

Powered by Stealth Digital Processing and Super FPGA technology, the SD7 provides outstanding audio performance. It supports up to 256 processing paths at both 48kHz and 96kHz sample rates for maximum flexibility. Every channel includes comprehensive EQ, dynamics, filters, delay, and insert processing for precise sound control. Built-in Dynamic EQ and DiGiTuBe processing enhance tonal quality without requiring additional hardware. High processing capacity ensures stable operation even during the most complex productions. This advanced engine delivers the speed, power, and reliability professionals expect.

Intuitive Control Surface

The SD7 features an iconic work surface designed for fast, efficient, and comfortable operation. Three high-resolution touchscreens provide instant access to channels, routing, and console functions. Dedicated fader banks and assignable center faders allow quick control of important channels and mixes. Color-coded rotary controls and HD metering improve visibility in every performance environment. The logical layout minimizes operator workload during busy live productions. Every element is engineered to maximize workflow and mixing accuracy.

Advanced Mixing Flexibility

Designed for complex productions, the SD7 offers extensive routing and advanced mixing capabilities. It provides up to 128 configurable buses for auxiliary sends, groups, and other routing requirements. A dedicated 32 × 32 output matrix allows flexible signal distribution without sacrificing bus resources. Dual solo buses and a dedicated master bus simplify monitoring and system management. Snapshot functionality enables complete console settings to be recalled instantly throughout a performance. These features make the SD7 ideal for touring, broadcast, theater, and large-scale live events.

Massive I/O Connectivity

The SD7 is renowned for its exceptional input and output capacity for professional audio systems. Standard connectivity includes analog inputs, analog outputs, and AES digital I/O for versatile integration. Dual-engine configurations provide redundant MADI ports and integrated Optocore networking for enhanced reliability. A single optic loop can support up to 1,392 I/O connections for large-scale productions. Extensive networking options simplify system expansion and complex stage connectivity. This impressive I/O architecture ensures outstanding flexibility for any professional application.

Expandable Professional Platform

The SD7 is designed to expand alongside the growing demands of modern live productions. It supports the optional EX-007 Fader Expansion Unit for additional physical channel control. Two EX-007 units can increase the available fader count to an impressive 100 channels. Optional SoundGrid integration enables low-latency Waves MultiRack plug-in processing directly within the workflow. Up to 32 stereo MultiRacks can host multiple plug-ins for advanced audio enhancement. Its scalable architecture ensures the SD7 remains a powerful long-term investment for professional sound engineers.
