Description
The DiGiCo MQ-Rack is a compact 6U stage rack designed to deliver exceptional audio performance while minimizing rack space. Despite its small footprint, it provides the same professional-grade audio quality found in DiGiCo's larger rack systems. The unit is engineered for demanding live productions where reliability, flexibility, and portability are essential. Its rugged construction makes it suitable for touring, broadcast, theater, and permanent installations.
Flexible Input and Output Configuration
The MQ-Rack features 48 high-quality microphone inputs and up to 24 line outputs for versatile system integration. The final four outputs can be switched between analog line outputs and stereo AES/EBU digital outputs, providing additional routing flexibility. This intelligent configuration allows engineers to adapt the rack to different production requirements. Whether used for live sound, broadcast, or recording, the rack offers dependable audio connectivity
Advanced MADI Connectivity
Dual MADI ports provide reliable high-channel-count digital audio transport using standard BNC connections. At 48kHz, the ports allow rack sharing between two compatible DiGiCo SD Series or Quantum consoles, making collaborative workflows simple and efficient. They can also be used to create digital splits for recording or broadcast applications. When operating at 96kHz, both MADI connections combine into a single high-definition link without reducing available inputs or outputs.
Seamless DiGiCo Integration
Designed specifically for DiGiCo systems, the MQ-Rack integrates seamlessly with SD Range and Quantum digital mixing consoles. Its compatibility allows engineers to expand I/O capacity while maintaining a consistent workflow across the entire audio network. The rack communicates efficiently with supported consoles for reliable signal routing and system management. This streamlined integration simplifies setup while preserving the high-performance standards expected from DiGiCo equipment.
Reliable Redundant Power
To maximize operational reliability, the MQ-Rack includes dual redundant power supplies as standard equipment. If one power source fails, the second automatically maintains uninterrupted operation to protect critical audio signals. This redundancy provides added confidence during live performances, broadcast productions, and other mission-critical applications. The dependable power architecture minimizes the risk of downtime while ensuring continuous system performance.
