DiGiCo unveils theatre specific Quantum338T
DiGiCo has unveiled a theatre-specific variant of its Quantum 338 mixing console at this year’s AES exhibition. Building on the audio performance offered by the standard model, the Quantum338T provides offers theatre sound designers and mixers with a programming and operating workflow that enhances the cue system with the manufacturer’s Auto Update and cue data management tools.
Auto Update allows designers to establish intricate inter-cue relationships, with changes made to channel settings automatically propagating to other related cues. Character variations, often a result of costume and prop changes, are handled with the Alias function, and cast changes are managed through the Players function.
The desk’s channel processing and mixing functions are identical to its live focused counterpart, but the crosspoint matrix gains individual nodal delays and matrix aliases. This enhanced matrixing system plays an important role within complex theatre output processing and has been achieved without compromising any of the unit’s general processing capabilities.
The manufacturer’s theatre specific software extension can be added to any Quantum338, with a simple unlock code to enable the features.
