Overview
The DiGiCo Quantum 225 DS DQ-Rack Package combines the dual screen Quantum 225 DS console with the DQ-Rack stage rack and a DMI-Dante card. It is a complete, network ready system for venues that want the faster dual screen workflow and Dante in one order.
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. The engine is unchanged, with 72 input channels, 36 busses and a 12 x 12 matrix at 96 kHz. The rack puts 48 inputs and 24 outputs on stage over redundant Dante. It suits performing arts centres, larger churches, conference venues, broadcast and hire companies working in networked venues.

Forefront Tip
Use the second screen to keep your input list or monitor mixes on view while the main screen shows channel processing, which cuts down on paging mid show. Put Dante primary and secondary on separate switches so the system rides through a single network failure.
