DiGiCo shows its generation of large format consoles: Quantum852

The new flagship of the console range DiGiCo, large in processing power and more sustainable, It is called Quantum852 and has been designed from the ground up to take live audio production to a new level..

Quantum852 It is the new generation console, so far with him code name Stingray, what DiGiCo has been developed from scratch, “taking a leap forward in processing power and audio quality with improved algorithms”, as the company points out.

Equipped with LCD screens with a brightness of 1.000 nits for working in broad daylight and a newly designed work surface, “Quantum852 has been designed not only for the present, but for the future”.

With this in mind, This new console from DiGiCo also includes a number of green credentials. Its light alloy construction reduces weight, which in turn helps mitigate the environmental impact during transportation; has a reduced operating power; thermal cooling fans, as well as convection and temperature dependent, and includes sustainable and recyclable materials.

Quantum852 technical specifications offer a fully redundant processing, each engine is powered by five of the latest 7th generation FPGA and the latest processors DSP Sharc.

Quantum852 entry count increases up to 384 mono channels, con 192 Aux/Subgroup buses, in addition to the well-known LR/LCR/Master 5.1. It has a processing matrix of 64×64; 36 control groups; two Solo buses and 64 ranuras FX Rack, to which are added 48 graphic equalizers; 384 nodal processors; 128 Mustard processors and 32 Spice Racks.

Innovation continues with the Ultimate 'Stadius' modular Local I/O, with each of the three cards providing four Stadius Mic-Pres; cuatro Stadius Line Outputs y dos Bit Perfect AES I/O.

On the back of each engine there is eight BNC MADI ports single or four redundant; entradas Word Clock, AES Sync y Video Sync; tomas USB 2.0 duals, una USB 3.0 SuperSpeed; salida 4K DisplayPort Overview; five port network switch 1 Gbps; dual DMI slots; Waves SoundGrid port and Optocore inputs as standard, with room for an optional second loop.

The three new screens, 21.3”, allow you to work with clear visualization in daylight. There are also three 19.2” screens dedicated to the meter bridge; three 6.8” control displays for switching banks and layers, y 69 1.3” screens for the work surface, all touch sensitive for channel and solo selection, ensuring instant access and control.

“Quantum852 is a big step forward in every way,” says Austin Freshwater, CEO of DiGiCo-. Although its design and construction are completely new, remains instantly recognizable; Its familiar workflow will make any user feel instantly comfortable, but you will love its tremendous increase in power and speed”.
