Powered by seventh-generation FPGA architecture, it provides ultra-low latency, rapid processing, and outstanding reliability. Supporting up to 128 input channels, 64 fully processed buses, and a 24×24 processing matrix, the console easily handles demanding productions while maintaining DiGiCo's familiar and efficient workflow.
Standard Connector & Flexible Connectivity
This Standard Connector configuration provides dependable Optocore compatibility for professional system integration. The console includes multiple MADI interfaces, dual DMI expansion slots, AES/EBU digital I/O, and a built-in UB MADI USB recording interface for flexible routing and recording. Combined with Waves SoundGrid connectivity, it integrates easily into touring, broadcast, theatre, and fixed-installation audio systems.
Integrated Waves SoundGrid
Built-in Waves SoundGrid connectivity allows engineers to use industry-leading Waves plugins with extremely low latency for professional live mixing. When paired with a compatible Waves SoundGrid server, the console supports premium EQs, compressors, reverbs, and other processing directly within the mixing environment. Plugin control is fully integrated into the console, providing a seamless workflow while expanding creative possibilities for FOH, monitor, broadcast, and theatre applications.
Advanced Multitouch Control Surface
The Quantum 338 features three 17-inch, 1000-nit high-brightness multitouch displays that deliver excellent visibility under any lighting conditions. Seventy dedicated TFT channel displays work alongside 38 motorized 100mm touch-sensitive faders, providing immediate access to channel information and precise control. The intuitive layout, customizable workflow, and modern dark-mode interface help engineers work efficiently throughout demanding productions.
Exceptional Audio Performance
Equipped with Ultimate Stadius 32-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, the console delivers pristine audio quality with outstanding clarity, dynamic range, and ultra-low distortion. Eight local microphone/line inputs and eight local line outputs ensure premium signal integrity, while advanced FPGA processing maintains transparent sound throughout the entire signal path. This architecture is designed to meet the highest professional audio standards.
Complete FPGA Processing Suite
The X-Q338-WS-PREM-ST includes DiGiCo's advanced FPGA-based processing tools as standard. Mustard Processing delivers premium channel EQ and dynamics, Spice Rack provides high-quality FPGA effects with ultra-low latency, Nodal Processing enables advanced system-wide routing, and True Solo offers accurate monitoring throughout the signal path.
