DiGiCo QUANTUM 5 DIGITAL MIXING CONSOLE

The DiGiCo Quantum 5 is a 256 channel mixing console with 37 physical faders and 3 x 15” LCD high-resolution touchscreens. Combining the extraordinary might of three large-scale FPGAs, the Quantum 5 offers a powerful upgrade from the legendary SD5.

The iconic SD5 paved the way to greatness with its immense power. The Quantum 7 showed you the supremacy to tackle any challenge, now the Quantum 5 is ready to take over. Following on from the huge success of DiGiCo’s flagship Quantum 7, the Quantum 5 engine slots neatly into the existing SD5 frame. With its 37 faders and three 15-inch full-color TFT touchscreens, it provides Quantum processing features, power, and connectivity in both new and existing hardware. The Quantum 5 really does teach an old dog new tricks! Continuing the legacy of previous Quantum consoles, the Quantum 5 brings you the extraordinary might of three large-scale FPGAs working in unison. Developed with seventh-generation FPGA devices that further expand audio processing power and allows DiGiCo to provide its users with unrivalled flexibility. Inside the Quantum engine, up to 2,000 channels can be transported across 458 processing paths at 96kHz. New GTX ports run at 6.6GHz while simple two-wire connections ensure the fastest possible data speeds to reach a new pinnacle in mixing capability. Fully scalable and designed to communicate seamlessly with the next generation of FPGAs, the Quantum engine is a uniquely formidable platform for an ambitious industry.

Unlike the SD5, Quantum 5 has over 450 processing paths at 96kHz. This includes 288 processing channels configurable as up to 256 input channels and up to 128 busses, plus a 36 x 36 matrix. The engine is also equipped with four redundant, or eight individual, MADI ports and two DMI slots (DiGiCo Multi-Channel Interface) for AoIP and other connectivity options from the complete family of DMI card options, plus a built-in Waves port and up to two Optocore loops.

Quantum 5 hosts the world’s most flexible and feature-rich mixing experience right at your very fingertips. Across both inputs and outputs includes Channel Delay, DiGiTube, Single and Multi-Channel Presets, Dual insert points, Hi- and Lo-pass filters at 24dB/octave, four-band parametric EQ (eight on outputs) with band curve selection and Dynamic EQ on each band, DiGiCo’s DYN 1 (Compressor, De-Esser or Multiband Compressor) and DYN 2 (Gate, Compressor or Ducker). Just like our other Quantum consoles, Quantum 5 includes the legendary Mustard Processing. A fully integrated suite of additional processing that can be assigned to any strip to boost your mix with a range of modelled preamps, vintage dynamics units and EQ sections, all only a touch away. In addition, 128 busses are assignable as mono/stereo groups or auxiliaries, while a 36×36 output matrix, dual solo busses with True Solo, and an LR/LCR/5.1 Master buss is available for even deeper configurability. Last but not least, with the inclusion of the now highly regarded Nodal Processing which allows monitor engineers unrivalled creativity on their IEM mixes, and of course True Solo to allow them to hear exactly as their artist does.
