Ultimate Stadius Audio Quality
Ultimate Stadius technology provides premium 32-bit microphone preamps and converters for outstanding analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog performance. The enhanced conversion delivers greater dynamic range, improved detail, and lower noise across every channel. Combined with Quantum processing, it produces exceptionally transparent and accurate sound. Every source maintains its natural character from input to output. This makes the console ideal for high-end professional productions.
Waves SoundGrid & ST Connectivity
Integrated Waves SoundGrid enables seamless use of professional Waves plugins with extremely low latency. The Standard (ST) Optocore connector provides secure fiber networking for long-distance digital audio transport between stage and front of house. ST fiber connections are widely used in touring systems and permanent installations for dependable performance. Together, these technologies provide powerful processing and reliable connectivity. They create a flexible solution for complex live productions.
Fast and Efficient Workflow
The Quantum 326 features 26 touch-sensitive motorized faders, dual 17-inch high-resolution multi-touch displays, and 51 TFT channel displays. Engineers can quickly access routing, processing, snapshots, and monitoring functions with minimal navigation. The floating chassis provides excellent ergonomics during long productions. Clear visual feedback speeds operation in demanding environments. Every control is designed to maximize workflow efficiency.
Powerful Built-In Processing
Supporting up to 128 input channels, 64 fully processed buses, and a 24×24 matrix, the console easily handles complex productions. Built-in Mustard Processing, Spice Rack FPGA plugins, Nodal Processing, dynamic EQ, and premium internal effects provide extensive creative flexibility. The Quantum engine maintains smooth operation under heavy processing loads. Engineers can create sophisticated mixes without relying on external hardware. This delivers maximum performance for every production.
Built for Professional Applications
The X-Q326-W-ST-EX-ULT is designed for touring companies, rental providers, broadcast facilities, theaters, and houses of worship. Its rugged construction, advanced networking, and Ultimate Stadius technology ensure dependable operation show after show. Combined with Waves SoundGrid and Standard ST fiber connectivity, it integrates seamlessly into professional Optocore systems. The result is a complete flagship mixing solution for modern audio engineers.
