Description
The DiGiCo X-Q326-W-WS-PREM-OP combines the advanced Quantum 326 platform with integrated Waves SoundGrid and OpticalCON Optocore connectivity for demanding professional productions. Built on seventh-generation FPGA technology, it delivers exceptional processing power, ultra-low latency, and rock-solid reliability for touring, broadcast, theatre, and installed sound applications. Supporting up to 128 input channels, 64 fully processed buses, and a 24×24 matrix, the console provides the performance and flexibility required for complex live audio environments while maintaining DiGiCo's intuitive workflow.
Integrated Waves SoundGrid
This model features built-in Waves SoundGrid connectivity, allowing engineers to incorporate industry-leading Waves plugins into live productions with extremely low latency. When connected to a compatible SoundGrid server, the console supports premium EQs, compressors, reverbs, and other studio-quality processing directly from the Quantum interface. This seamless integration expands creative possibilities while maintaining the speed and reliability required for professional live sound and broadcast applications.
Advanced Control Surface
The Quantum 326 features two 17-inch, 1000-nit high-brightness multitouch displays that provide outstanding visibility in any lighting environment. Fifty-one dedicated TFT channel displays work alongside 26 motorized 100mm touch-sensitive faders and two assignable user faders, giving engineers fast access to channel information and precise control. The ergonomic layout, integrated metering, customizable workflow, and dark-mode interface help streamline operation during demanding productions.
Ultimate Stadius & OpticalCON Connectivity
Ultimate Stadius 32-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters deliver exceptional clarity, wide dynamic range, and remarkably low distortion. Eight local microphone/line inputs and eight local line outputs ensure pristine signal quality throughout the console. Rugged OpticalCON Optocore connectors provide secure, locking fiber-optic connections for dependable network performance in touring and installed environments. Combined, these technologies deliver superior audio quality and highly reliable system integration.
Flexible Professional I/O
The Quantum 326 includes extensive connectivity for modern production systems, including up to six MADI interfaces at 48 kHz or three redundant MADI connections, dual DMI expansion slots, four stereo AES/EBU inputs and outputs, and a built-in UB MADI USB recording interface. These options provide flexible integration with stage racks, recording systems, broadcast facilities, and large-scale digital audio networks while ensuring reliable performance in demanding applications.
Complete FPGA Processing Suite
The X-Q326-W-WS-PREM-OP includes DiGiCo's comprehensive FPGA-based processing package as standard. Mustard Processing provides premium channel EQ and dynamics, Spice Rack delivers powerful native FPGA effects with virtually no additional latency, Nodal Processing enables advanced system-wide routing and signal management, and True Solo ensures accurate monitoring throughout the signal path. Combined with Waves SoundGrid, Ultimate Stadius 32-bit conversion, and OpticalCON Optocore connectivity, this console offers a complete professional mixing solution for the most demanding live audio productions.
