Description
The DiGiCo X-Q225-DS-MQ combines the powerful Quantum 225 Dual Screen platform with the advanced MQ software package. Designed for professional live audio production, it delivers exceptional processing performance in a compact and durable format. Three seventh-generation FPGAs provide the speed and reliability needed for demanding mixing applications. The console offers low-latency operation while maintaining outstanding audio quality throughout every production. Its streamlined workflow allows engineers to respond quickly in fast-paced environments. It is an ideal solution for touring, theater, broadcast, and installed sound systems.
Dual Screen Control Surface
The console features two 17-inch, 1000-nit high-brightness multitouch displays that provide clear visibility and intuitive control. Forty-one dedicated TFT LCD displays continuously present channel names, metering, macros, and system information. Twenty-five touch-sensitive 100 mm motorized faders are arranged in two banks with a dedicated user-assignable master fader. Soft Quick Select buttons provide rapid access to channels and processing functions. The ergonomic layout improves workflow while reducing operating time during live productions. Every control is optimized for speed, precision, and efficiency.
MQ Software Package
The included MQ software package enhances the Quantum platform with expanded mixing capabilities and an optimized workflow. It integrates seamlessly with the console hardware to deliver fast, responsive operation for professional productions. Engineers benefit from flexible routing, advanced processing tools, and intuitive system control. The software is designed to simplify complex live mixing tasks while maintaining reliable performance. Its scalable architecture supports a wide range of production requirements. The MQ package helps unlock the full potential of the Quantum 225DS.
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.
