Description
The DiGiCo X-Q326-W-WS-OP combines Quantum FPGA processing with the Ultimate Stadius audio platform to deliver exceptional sound quality and ultra-low latency. Designed for touring, broadcast, theater, and live production, it provides the processing power required for today's demanding applications. The compact control surface offers an intuitive workflow while maintaining flagship-level performance. Engineers benefit from fast operation and extensive onboard processing. It is built to perform reliably in professional environments.
Waves SoundGrid Integration
The integrated Waves SoundGrid interface allows direct connection to a Waves SuperRack SoundGrid system for real-time plugin processing. Engineers can use professional Waves EQs, compressors, reverbs, and dynamic processors with extremely low latency. Plugin parameters can be controlled directly from the console, simplifying live operation. This integration reduces external hardware while delivering studio-quality sound in live environments. It is ideal for advanced production workflows.
OpticalCON Optocore Connectivity
This model includes a rugged OpticalCON Optocore connector for secure fiber networking between consoles, stage racks, and other compatible devices. The locking OpticalCON connection protects the fiber cable while providing stable, interference-free signal transmission over long distances. It is well suited for touring systems, festivals, stadiums, and broadcast facilities. The reliable connection ensures consistent communication throughout every production. It is trusted by professionals worldwide.
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, processing, and monitoring functions through an intuitive interface. The floating chassis provides excellent ergonomics during extended mixing sessions. Clear visual feedback improves speed and accuracy during live events. Every control is designed to maximize efficiency.
Powerful Built-In Processing
Supporting up to 128 input channels, 64 fully processed buses, and a 24×24 matrix, the console easily manages 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 minimizes the need for external equipment. The Quantum engine maintains smooth performance under demanding workloads. This delivers outstanding results for every production.
