Integrated Waves SoundGrid
The factory-installed W Package includes integrated Waves SoundGrid networking for seamless live plugin processing. It supports direct integration with Waves SuperRack SoundGrid, allowing engineers to use premium EQs, compressors, reverbs, and dynamics with extremely low latency. This reduces the need for external processing hardware while delivering studio-quality sound in live environments. The built-in Waves interface simplifies system configuration and workflow. It is ideal for professional touring and broadcast applications.
Standard (ST) Optocore Connectivity
This model features a Standard (ST) fiber connector for Optocore networking, providing secure long-distance digital audio transport between consoles and stage racks. ST fiber connections are widely used in touring systems, theaters, and permanent installations because of their reliability and stable performance. They maintain excellent signal integrity while minimizing interference. The robust fiber connection ensures dependable communication throughout every production. It is trusted in professional live sound environments.
Fast and Efficient Workflow
The Quantum 326 is equipped with 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 with minimal navigation. The ergonomic floating chassis enhances comfort during long mixing sessions. Clear visual feedback improves speed and accuracy in demanding live environments. Every control is designed for maximum operational 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 extensive creative flexibility. The Quantum processing engine maintains smooth performance under heavy workloads. These advanced tools reduce reliance on external hardware while delivering outstanding sonic results. The console is engineered for professional live production.
W Package Advantages
The W Package is designed for engineers who require integrated Waves SoundGrid networking directly from the console. It enables efficient plugin processing with compatible SoundGrid servers while maintaining low latency and dependable performance. Combined with Ultimate Stadius technology and Standard ST Optocore connectivity, it provides a complete solution for demanding live sound applications. This configuration is ideal for touring companies, broadcast facilities, rental providers, and fixed installations.
