Description
The DiGiCo X-Q338-W-WS-PREM-OP combines the powerful Quantum 338 processing engine with integrated Waves SoundGrid connectivity for exceptional live sound performance. Powered by seventh-generation FPGA technology, it delivers ultra-low latency, outstanding reliability, and remarkable processing capacity for touring, broadcast, theatre, and installed audio systems. Supporting up to 128 input channels, 64 fully processed buses, and a 24×24 matrix, the console is designed to handle demanding productions with ease. Its compact footprint makes it ideal where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised.
OpticalCON Fiber Connectivity
This model is equipped with OpticalCON connectors, providing durable, locking fiber-optic connections for Optocore networking. OpticalCON connectors are specifically designed for professional touring and live production, offering superior cable protection, secure locking, and dependable performance in demanding environments. Combined with dual DMI slots, multiple MADI interfaces, AES/EBU I/O, and built-in UB MADI USB recording, the console integrates seamlessly into sophisticated audio systems.
Integrated Waves SoundGrid Workflow
Built-in Waves SoundGrid support allows engineers to access industry-leading Waves plugins for live processing with extremely low latency. When paired with a compatible SoundGrid server, the console can run professional EQs, compressors, reverbs, and other effects while providing direct control from the Quantum interface. This integration expands creative possibilities without sacrificing speed or reliability, making it ideal for modern live productions and broadcast environments.
Brilliant Multitouch Control Surface
The Quantum 338 features three 17-inch, 1000-nit high-brightness multitouch displays that remain clearly visible under any lighting conditions. Seventy individual TFT channel displays provide instant visual feedback above the 38 motorized, touch-sensitive faders, allowing engineers to work quickly and accurately. The intuitive layout, customizable controls, and modern dark-mode interface streamline operation and reduce workload during complex productions.
Exceptional Audio Quality
Ultimate Stadius 32-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion delivers outstanding sonic accuracy with exceptional dynamic range and minimal distortion. Eight local microphone/line inputs and eight local line outputs preserve every detail of the audio signal, while advanced FPGA processing maintains pristine sound quality throughout the console. This combination provides transparent, professional-grade performance for concerts, broadcast, theatre, and corporate events.
Complete Professional Processing Suite
The X-Q338-W-WS-PREM-OP includes DiGiCo's powerful FPGA-based processing tools as standard. Mustard Processing provides premium EQ and dynamics on every channel, Spice Rack offers advanced native FPGA effects with ultra-low latency, Nodal Processing simplifies complex routing, and True Solo delivers accurate monitoring throughout the signal path. Together with Waves SoundGrid integration and OpticalCON connectivity, this console provides a complete, flexible solution for the most demanding professional audio productions.
