Description
The DiGiCo X-Q326-W-WS combines Quantum FPGA processing with Ultimate Stadius technology to deliver exceptional sound quality and ultra-low latency. Designed for touring, broadcast, theater, and corporate productions, it provides powerful processing in a compact control surface. Engineers benefit from an intuitive workflow, responsive operation, and professional-grade reliability. The advanced architecture ensures consistent performance during demanding live events. It is built to meet the needs of modern audio professionals.
Integrated Waves SoundGrid
The factory-installed W Package includes integrated Waves SoundGrid networking for seamless live plugin processing. It supports direct connection to Waves SuperRack SoundGrid, enabling premium EQs, compressors, reverbs, and dynamic processors with extremely low latency. The built-in interface simplifies system setup while reducing the need for external hardware. Engineers gain studio-quality processing in live sound environments. This integration is ideal for professional touring and broadcast applications.
MADI-Only Connectivity
This version features a MADI-only configuration, making it ideal for facilities and touring systems built around MADI infrastructure. Six MADI interfaces at 48kHz or three redundant interfaces at 96kHz provide reliable high-channel-count digital audio transport. MADI offers stable, low-latency connectivity with simple integration into existing DiGiCo systems. This configuration is perfect for users who do not require Optocore networking. It delivers dependable performance in demanding production environments.
Fast and Efficient Workflow
The Quantum 326 features 26 touch-sensitive motorized faders, dual 17-inch high-resolution touchscreens, and 51 individual TFT channel displays. Engineers can quickly access routing, snapshots, monitoring, and processing through an intuitive interface. The floating chassis provides excellent ergonomics during long productions. Clear visual feedback improves speed and accuracy during live mixing. Every control is positioned 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, True Solo, and premium internal effects provide exceptional creative flexibility. Extensive onboard processing reduces reliance on external equipment. The Quantum engine maintains smooth operation even under heavy workloads. This makes the console suitable for the most demanding live applications.
W Package Advantages
The W Package is designed for engineers who require integrated Waves SoundGrid networking directly from the console. It provides seamless compatibility with Waves SoundGrid servers and SuperRack while maintaining outstanding reliability and low latency. Combined with Ultimate Stadius technology and MADI-only connectivity, it delivers a powerful solution for live touring, broadcast, rental, and fixed installations. It offers maximum flexibility for professional audio production.
