Description
The DiGiCo X-Q225-W-WS-DS is designed to improve efficiency with its advanced dual-screen control surface. Two high-resolution touch displays provide ample workspace for channels, routing, processing, and metering. Engineers can monitor multiple console sections simultaneously without interrupting their workflow. The responsive touchscreen interface offers quick access to critical controls and system functions. Customizable layouts help streamline operation for different production requirements. This design enhances speed and precision during demanding live performances.
Integrated Waves SoundGrid
Built-in Waves SoundGrid compatibility enables real-time access to industry-leading audio plugins with ultra-low latency. Engineers can enhance vocals, instruments, and overall mixes using professional Waves processing tools. The system integrates seamlessly with compatible SoundGrid servers and network devices.
W Package Software
The W Package equips the X-Q225-W-WS-DS with an advanced software configuration designed for demanding professional productions. It unlocks enhanced processing capabilities and provides greater flexibility for complex live mixing applications. The package works seamlessly with Waves SoundGrid, allowing engineers to integrate industry-standard plugins into their workflow.
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.
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.
