Description

The DiGiCo Quantum 338 is engineered to deliver exceptional processing power in a compact, tour-ready digital mixing console. Built on seventh-generation FPGA technology, it provides faster operation, lower latency, and greater reliability for demanding live productions. Its advanced architecture combines the familiar DiGiCo workflow with significant performance enhancements, allowing engineers to mix confidently in any environment. Designed for touring, broadcast, theatre, and houses of worship, the Quantum 338 offers outstanding flexibility while maintaining intuitive operation. Every function is optimized to deliver professional results with maximum efficiency.

Brilliant Multitouch User Interface

The Quantum 338 features three ultra-bright 17-inch 1000-nit multitouch displays that provide exceptional visibility in any lighting condition. Each screen integrates channel metering, soft quick-select controls, and workflow customization for rapid operation during live performances. Seventy dedicated TFT channel displays deliver detailed information directly above every fader, reducing navigation time and improving workflow accuracy. A modern dark mode interface minimizes eye fatigue while enhancing visibility during extended sessions. This intelligent control surface keeps essential functions within immediate reach for faster and more precise mixing.

Precision Fader Control

Designed for maximum hands-on control, the Quantum 338 includes 38 motorized 100mm touch-sensitive faders arranged in three ergonomic banks. Two additional user-assignable faders provide instant access to critical channels, masters, or custom functions during demanding productions. High-resolution channel metering above every fader ensures accurate signal monitoring without requiring additional screen navigation. The responsive layout enables engineers to manage complex mixes efficiently while maintaining complete confidence in every adjustment. Its premium control surface is built for smooth, accurate, and reliable operation.

Ultimate Stadius Audio Quality

The Quantum 338 delivers outstanding sonic performance through integrated 32-bit Ultimate Stadius analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. Eight local microphone/line inputs and eight local line outputs provide pristine audio capture and playback with exceptional dynamic range and low noise. The advanced conversion technology preserves every detail from input to output, ensuring superior clarity for live sound, theatre, and broadcast applications. High-quality internal processing maintains signal integrity across every channel and bus. The result is a transparent, natural, and highly accurate audio experience.

Extensive Professional Connectivity

Built to integrate seamlessly into modern production systems, the Quantum 338 offers an impressive range of connectivity options. Multiple MADI connections, dual DMI expansion slots, dual Optocore loop support, AES/EBU digital I/O, and an integrated UB MADI USB recording interface provide exceptional flexibility. The console easily adapts to large-scale touring systems, broadcast facilities, and permanent installations. Optional Waves SoundGrid integration further expands processing capabilities for engineers requiring advanced plugin workflows. This comprehensive connectivity ensures compatibility with virtually any professional audio environment.

Powerful Integrated Processing

The Quantum 338 comes equipped with DiGiCo's complete suite of advanced FPGA-based processing tools. Every channel benefit from Mustard Processing strips that deliver premium EQ, dynamics, and compression without external hardware. Spice Rack adds powerful native FPGA effects that emulate high-end studio processors while maintaining ultra-low latency. Nodal Processing enables precise system-wide signal management, and True Solo provides accurate monitoring throughout the entire signal path. Together, these integrated technologies deliver exceptional mixing flexibility, enhanced creativity, and uncompromising professional performance.
