Description
The DiGiCo X-Q338-WS-PREM-OP delivers the power of the Quantum 338 platform with integrated Waves SoundGrid and OpticalCON connectivity for demanding professional productions. Built on seventh-generation FPGA technology, it provides exceptional processing speed, ultra-low latency, and outstanding reliability. With support for up to 128 input channels, 64 fully processed buses, and a 24×24 processing matrix, the console is engineered to handle complex live sound, broadcast, theatre, and corporate events with ease. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for applications where performance and efficiency are equally important.
Integrated Waves SoundGrid
Built-in Waves SoundGrid support enables seamless integration with Waves plugins for studio-quality processing in live environments. Connected to a compatible Waves SoundGrid server, the console can run premium EQs, compressors, reverbs, and other effects with extremely low latency. Engineers can control plugin parameters directly from the Quantum interface, creating a streamlined workflow while expanding creative possibilities. This integration delivers the flexibility and processing power required for today's professional live productions.
Advanced Multitouch Control
Three 17-inch, 1000-nit high-brightness multitouch displays provide excellent visibility in any lighting condition. Seventy dedicated TFT channel displays work alongside 38 motorized 100mm touch-sensitive faders, giving engineers immediate access to channel information and precise control. The intuitive layout, customizable workflow, and modern dark-mode interface improve efficiency while reducing operator fatigue during long mixing sessions.
OpticalCON Fiber Connectivity
This model features OpticalCON connectors, providing durable, locking fiber-optic connections for dependable Optocore networking in touring and installed systems. Designed for professional environments, OpticalCON offers enhanced cable protection, secure locking, and reliable signal transmission. Combined with dual DMI expansion slots, multiple MADI interfaces, AES/EBU digital I/O, and the built-in UB MADI USB recording interface, the console integrates easily into sophisticated production networks.
Premium Audio Quality
Ultimate Stadius 32-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion delivers exceptional clarity, wide dynamic range, and ultra-low 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 high-performance audio architecture is ideal for concerts, broadcast facilities, theatres, and houses of worship where uncompromising sound quality is essential.
Complete FPGA Processing Suite
The X-Q338-WS-PREM-OP includes DiGiCo's comprehensive FPGA-based processing package. Mustard Processing provides premium channel EQ and dynamics, Spice Rack offers powerful native FPGA effects with ultra-low latency, Nodal Processing enables flexible system-wide routing, and True Solo ensures accurate monitoring throughout the signal path. Together with Waves SoundGrid integration and OpticalCON connectivity, these technologies create a highly capable mixing platform for the most demanding professional audio applications.
