Overview
The DiGiCo Quantum 225 DS is the dual screen version of the Quantum 225, built for engineers who want more of the show in front of them. The 225 DS replaces the standard Quantum 225's left side bracket with a second 17 inch 1000 nit multitouch screen with its own meter bridge, so each bank of 12 faders has a screen directly above it.
One screen can hold channel processing while the other shows the input list, a monitor mix or macros, which means less paging and fewer taps mid show. The engine is the same Quantum 225, with 72 input channels, 36 busses and a 12 x 12 matrix at 96 kHz, expandable with Pulse. It suits festival engineers, theatres and busy church teams, and existing Quantum 225 consoles can be upgraded to DS specification.

Forefront Tip
Set up a layout where the left screen always shows your input overview and the right screen follows the selected channel, then save it in the session so every operator starts the same way. Rack packages with the DQ-Rack over Dante or MQ-Rack over MADI are listed separately if you need stage I/O.
