Overview
The DiGiCo Quantum 225 DQ-Rack Package is a complete stage to front of house mixing system built on Dante. It pairs the Quantum 225 console with the DQ-Rack stage rack and a DMI-Dante card, so it arrives ready to patch rather than waiting on I/O decisions.
The rack puts 48 mic and line inputs and 24 outputs on stage, carried to the console over Dante with redundant primary and secondary ports. The console gives you 72 input channels, 36 busses and a 12 x 12 matrix at 96 kHz, with Mustard Processing, Spice Rack, Nodal Processing and True Solo as standard. It is the natural fit for churches, performing arts centres, hotels and corporate venues with an existing or planned Dante network.

Forefront Tip
Run the Dante primary and secondary ports on two separate switches so a single switch or cable failure does not stop the show. Use the console's built in UB MADI USB recorder to capture a multitrack during a service or rehearsal, then play it back for virtual soundcheck during the week.
