Description
The DiGiCo X-Q326-W-PREM-ST-EX-ULT delivers the advanced performance of the Quantum 326 platform in a compact and highly capable digital mixing console. Built on DiGiCo's seventh-generation FPGA architecture, it offers exceptional processing speed, ultra-low latency, and outstanding reliability for live touring, broadcast, theatre, and installed sound applications. Supporting up to 128 input channels, 64 fully processed buses, and a 24×24 matrix, the console easily manages complex productions while maintaining the intuitive DiGiCo workflow trusted by professional engineers.
Professional Dual-Screen Workflow
The Quantum 326 features two ultra-bright 17-inch, 1000-nit multitouch displays that provide excellent visibility under all lighting conditions. Fifty-one dedicated TFT channel displays work alongside 26 motorized 100mm touch-sensitive faders and two user-assignable faders, allowing engineers to monitor and control every channel with speed and precision. The integrated metering, customizable interface, and modern dark-mode display improve workflow efficiency while reducing operator fatigue during extended productions.
Ultimate Stadius Audio Quality
Equipped with Ultimate Stadius 32-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, the console delivers exceptional sonic performance with outstanding clarity, dynamic range, and ultra-low distortion. Eight local microphone/line inputs and eight local line outputs preserve signal integrity from source to output, while advanced FPGA processing ensures transparent audio across every channel, bus, and matrix. This premium audio architecture is ideal for professional live sound, broadcast, and theatrical productions.
Standard (ST) Optocore Connectivity
This model features the Standard (ST) connector configuration for dependable Optocore fiber networking. The ST connector provides secure and reliable fiber-optic connections for professional touring and installed audio systems. In addition to ST fiber connectivity, the console includes multiple MADI interfaces, dual DMI expansion slots, AES/EBU digital I/O, and a built-in UB MADI USB recording interface, allowing seamless integration into a wide variety of professional audio infrastructures.
Flexible Professional Integration
The Quantum 326 is designed for maximum system flexibility with support for up to six MADI interfaces at 48 kHz or three redundant MADI connections at higher sample rates. Dual DMI card slots enable future expansion, while four stereo AES/EBU inputs and outputs and the integrated USB MADI recording interface simplify routing, recording, and system integration. Optional Waves SoundGrid support can be added through a compatible interface card, expanding the console's processing capabilities even further.
Advanced FPGA Processing Suite
The X-Q326-W-PREM-ST-EX-ULT includes DiGiCo's complete FPGA-based processing package. Mustard Processing delivers premium EQ and dynamics on every channel, Spice Rack provides powerful native FPGA effects with ultra-low latency, Nodal Processing enables advanced system-wide signal management, and True Solo offers accurate monitoring throughout the signal path. Together, these integrated technologies provide a powerful and flexible mixing platform capable of handling the most demanding professional live audio productions.
