Description
The DiGiCo X-Q338-WS-PREM delivers the renowned Quantum 338 mixing experience with integrated Waves SoundGrid and comprehensive MADI connectivity. Built on DiGiCo's seventh-generation FPGA architecture, it provides exceptional processing power, ultra-low latency, and outstanding reliability for live sound, broadcast, theatre, and installed audio applications. Supporting up to 128 input channels, 64 fully processed buses, and a 24×24 processing matrix, the console is engineered to handle the most demanding productions with confidence.
Flexible MADI Connectivity
Designed around robust MADI connectivity, this console provides up to six MADI interfaces at 48 kHz or three interfaces at 96 kHz, along with dual DMI expansion slots, AES/EBU digital I/O, and a built-in UB MADI USB recording interface. This flexible configuration integrates easily with professional stage racks, recording systems, and broadcast infrastructures while offering reliable, high-channel-count digital audio transport.
Integrated Waves SoundGrid
Built-in Waves SoundGrid connectivity enables seamless integration with Waves plugins for professional live audio processing. When connected to a compatible Waves SoundGrid server, engineers can utilize premium EQs, compressors, reverbs, and other studio-grade plugins with extremely low latency. Plugin control is available directly from the console, creating an efficient workflow that enhances both creativity and operational speed during live productions.
Advanced Control Surface
The Quantum 338 features three 17-inch, 1000-nit multitouch displays that provide outstanding visibility in any lighting environment. Seventy dedicated TFT channel displays work alongside 38 motorized 100mm touch-sensitive faders, giving engineers instant access to channel information and precise control. The intuitive interface, customizable workflow, and modern dark-mode display allow for faster navigation and improved efficiency throughout every production.
Premium Audio Performance
Ultimate Stadius 32-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters deliver exceptional audio fidelity with remarkable dynamic range and ultra-low distortion. Eight local microphone/line inputs and eight local line outputs preserve every detail of the source signal, while DiGiCo's FPGA processing maintains pristine audio quality across the entire signal path. This high-performance architecture is ideal for concert touring, broadcast, theatre, and corporate events.
Complete FPGA Processing Suite
The X-Q338-WS-PREM includes DiGiCo's advanced FPGA-based processing tools as standard. Mustard Processing provides premium channel EQ and dynamics, Spice Rack delivers powerful native FPGA effects with virtually no additional latency, Nodal Processing enables sophisticated system-wide routing, and True Solo offers accurate monitoring throughout the signal path. Combined with Waves SoundGrid integration, these technologies create a comprehensive professional mixing platform for the most demanding live audio productions.
