Description
The DiGiCo X-Q225-W-DS-OP-EX-ULT delivers the full power of the Quantum platform in a compact Dual Screen (DS) console. Built around three seventh-generation FPGAs, it provides exceptional processing power, ultra-low latency, and outstanding audio quality. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for touring, theaters, broadcast, and live venues where space is limited. The console combines proven DiGiCo workflows with the latest Quantum innovations. Engineers benefit from fast operation and advanced mixing capabilities. It is designed for demanding professional productions.
Dual Screen Control Surface
The console features two 17-inch, 1000-nit high-brightness multitouch displays for clear operation in every environment. Forty-one dedicated TFT LCD displays provide instant channel information, metering, macros, and system status. Twenty-five touch-sensitive 100 mm motorized faders are arranged in two banks, along with a dedicated user-assignable master fader. Soft Quick Select buttons provide rapid access to essential controls. The ergonomic layout improves workflow and operational efficiency. Every function is designed for fast and intuitive mixing.
Ultimate Quantum Processing
Supporting up to 72 input channels, 36 buses, and a 12 × 12 matrix, the X-Q225-W-DS-OP-EX-ULT delivers powerful mixing flexibility. Standard Quantum technologies include Mustard Processing, Spice Rack FPGA effects, Nodal Processing, and True Solo. These advanced tools provide premium dynamics, EQ, and signal processing without external hardware. The FPGA-based architecture maintains consistent performance during complex productions. Engineers can confidently manage demanding live audio environments. The result is exceptional sonic performance and reliability.
OpticalCON Optocore Connectivity
This version is equipped with a rugged OpticalCON Optocore connector for secure fiber-optic networking. The locking OpticalCON interface protects fiber connections while providing reliable long-distance audio transmission. Optional single or dual Optocore loops support large stage rack systems and extensive digital audio networks. The console integrates seamlessly with DiGiCo racks and compatible Optocore devices. This connectivity ensures dependable operation in touring and broadcast applications. It is built for mission-critical professional productions.
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.
