Description
The DiGiCo X-Q338-W-WS-PREM-ST delivers flagship Quantum performance in a compact, professional mixing console. Built on seventh-generation FPGA technology, it provides 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 easily handles complex productions while maintaining the familiar DiGiCo workflow. Its advanced architecture ensures smooth operation and outstanding flexibility for today's demanding audio environments.
Standard Connector & Flexible Connectivity
The Standard Connector configuration offers reliable Optocore connectivity while supporting a wide range of professional audio systems. The console includes multiple MADI interfaces, dual DMI expansion slots, AES/EBU digital I/O, built-in UB MADI USB recording, and support for optional Optocore networking. Combined with integrated Waves SoundGrid capability, it provides exceptional flexibility for modern live sound infrastructures and scalable system expansion.
Integrated Waves SoundGrid
This model includes integrated Waves SoundGrid connectivity, allowing engineers to incorporate Waves plugins into live productions with extremely low latency. When connected to a compatible Waves SoundGrid server, users gain access to professional EQs, compressors, reverbs, and other studio-grade processing directly from the console. This integration expands creative possibilities while maintaining the speed and reliability required for live events and broadcast productions.
Professional Control Surface
The Quantum 338 features three 17-inch, 1000-nit high-brightness multitouch displays that provide excellent visibility in any lighting environment. Seventy dedicated TFT channel displays sit above 38 motorized 100mm touch-sensitive faders, delivering instant channel information and precise control. The ergonomic layout, customizable workflow, and modern dark-mode interface enable engineers to work efficiently throughout demanding productions with confidence and accuracy.
Exceptional Audio Performance
Ultimate Stadius 32-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters provide pristine audio quality with exceptional dynamic range and remarkably low distortion. Eight local microphone/line inputs and eight local line outputs preserve every detail of the source signal, while advanced FPGA processing maintains outstanding clarity across the entire signal path. This premium audio performance makes the console ideal for concerts, broadcast, theatre, and corporate events.
Complete FPGA Processing Suite
The Quantum 338 includes DiGiCo's advanced processing technologies as standard. Mustard Processing delivers premium EQ and dynamics on every channel, Spice Rack provides powerful FPGA-based effects with ultra-low latency, Nodal Processing simplifies complex routing, and True Solo enables accurate monitoring throughout the signal path. Together with Waves SoundGrid integration, these features create a comprehensive mixing platform capable of meeting the demands of the most challenging professional productions.
