Built on seventh-generation FPGA technology, it provides lightning-fast processing, ultra-low latency, and remarkable reliability for the most demanding live productions. With support for 128 input channels, 64 fully processed buses, and a 24×24 matrix, the console easily handles complex touring, broadcast, theatre, and corporate applications. Its powerful architecture ensures smooth operation even during large-scale productions while maintaining the intuitive DiGiCo workflow engineer trust.
Premium User Interface
Designed for speed and efficiency, the Quantum 338 features three ultra-bright 17-inch multitouch displays that provide outstanding visibility in any venue. Each screen integrates channel control, metering, and quick-access functions for rapid navigation during live performances. Seventy dedicated TFT channel displays provide instant channel information directly above the faders, minimizing workflow interruptions. The modern dark-mode interface improves visibility while reducing operator fatigue during extended events. Together, these features create an intuitive mixing environment that enhances productivity from soundcheck through the final encore.
Ultimate Audio Performance
Equipped with Ultimate Stadius 32-bit ADC and DAC converters, the console delivers exceptional audio fidelity with outstanding dynamic range and clarity. Eight local microphone/line inputs and eight local line outputs ensure pristine signal quality for every performance. Premium internal processing preserves every detail throughout the signal path, making the console ideal for critical live sound, broadcast, and theatrical productions. The result is transparent, accurate, and highly musical sound reproduction that meets the expectations of professional engineers.
Comprehensive Professional Connectivity
The Standard Connector version offers dependable Optocore compatibility while providing extensive connectivity for modern production systems. Multiple MADI interfaces, dual DMI expansion slots, AES/EBU digital I/O, USB recording via the built-in UB MADI interface, and support for dual Optocore loops provide exceptional system flexibility. Optional Waves SoundGrid connectivity can be added through a compatible DMI card, allowing seamless integration with advanced plugin processing when required. This versatile connectivity makes the console suitable for virtually any professional audio environment.
Integrated FPGA Processing Tools
The Premium Ultimate package includes DiGiCo's renowned FPGA-based processing technologies, enabling engineers to create polished mixes without external hardware. Mustard Processing delivers premium EQ and dynamics on every channel, while Spice Rack provides high-quality native FPGA effects with extremely low latency. Nodal Processing simplifies complex routing and system management, and True Solo enables accurate monitoring anywhere in the signal path. Together, these advanced processing tools provide outstanding creative flexibility and consistent professional results for every production.
Built for Professional Live Production
From international concert tours and broadcast studios to theatres and houses of worship, the Quantum 338 is engineered for dependable operation under demanding conditions. Its compact footprint, premium processing engine, responsive control surface, and robust connectivity make it a versatile solution for engineers requiring uncompromising performance. The combination of Ultimate software capabilities and the Standard Connector configuration delivers a powerful, scalable platform that is ready for today's most challenging live audio applications.
