Overview
The DiGiCo Quantum 338 brings the processing of DiGiCo's flagship into a console that fits a festival front of house riser, a theatre pit or a broadcast truck. It delivers 128 input channels, 64 aux or group busses and a 24 x 24 matrix at 96 kHz with around 1 ms of latency, and the Pulse upgrade takes it to 156 channels and 72 busses.
Three 17 inch 1000 nit multitouch screens, 38 motorised touch sensitive faders and 70 TFT channel displays keep the show in view, with Dark Mode for blacked out rooms. Ultimate Stadius 32 bit converters, six MADI ports, two DMI slots and optional Optocore cover large stage I/O. This listing is the ST optics multi mode version. It suits touring companies, festivals, theatres, broadcast and large venues.

Forefront Tip
At 70 kg, and close to 200 kg in a flight case, plan the access route to front of house before show day, including lifts, ramps and riser height. For touring, SD-Rack over Optocore is the usual pairing, while for installs a DQ-Rack over Dante fits an existing network.
