The Worship Facilities and Conference Expo will feature the latest hardware and software offerings from DiGiCo and MC2. WFX, presented by Church Production and Worship Facilities magazines, will offer 60+ updated conference sessions on everything from architectural design and fundraising, to mixing sound and social networking, an expo hall with 200+ exhibitors, plus tours of nearby churches.

DiGiCo Offerings: SD8-24: The power, finesse and clarity of DiGiCo digital mixing with Stealth Digital Processing. Featuring 60 channels mono or stereo (equivalent to 120 channels of DSP), 24 busses mono or stereo + Master +12 Matrix and Dual Solo Busses, now featuring LCR with Overdrive (equivalent to 67 Busses of DSP), Large 15” touch screen for fast control, Remote Stage Rack + local I/O, 16 x 12 Output Matrix (with Overdrive), snapshot control with relative update & offline facility, onboard effects and Graphic EQs, Script/Laptop tray & second MADI I/O for open platform recording, and 25 touch sensitive faders for instant control with Full Size Metering.

SD7 MACH 2 Software: The new Mach 2 software suite is free to all existing SD7 owners and adds numerous new features to the board, including Digi-Tube, the world’s first Super FPGA preamp tube emulation, with full drive and bias control; dynamic EQ available on all 256 processing paths and on all four EQ bands; Multiband Compressor, also available on all 256 paths, and adding an extra two compressors per path giving a further 512 dynamics to the console; 16 floating point stereo Super FPGA Stealth digital reverbs and 32 floating point stereo effects and a talk-to-buss with dim function.

SD7 Overdrive Software: Overdrive includes the following new advancements: 8 stereo FX units have been imported from SD7 MACH2 effects, including the floating-point reverbs and time-based FX, Dynamic EQ available on any 8 channels, mono or stereo, and on any 8 input and output paths. This is equivalent to 64 Dynamic EQs in DSP processing.

They are individually switchable and can be easily monitored via the gain reduction/expansion meter, Multiband Compression also available on any 8 channels, mono or stereo, or on any 8 input and output paths. This is equivalent to 48 Multi Band Compressors in DSP processing, and 24x32 bands of Graphic EQ available, which has been increased from 12x32 bands.

MC2 Ti Series/BoB Series Breakout Boxes: With formats and configurations to suit all live and installation needs, the Ti Series breakout boxes provide high quality fully balanced analogue outputs from any of the three most popular network audio protocols. 8-channel versions are available in either XLR or Phoenix format, with a 16-channel version also being available in Phoenix only.

All versions feature front panel metering and remote control over output gains along with muting, when used in conjunction with ICORE – the software package for managing all the components. A failsafe override input is provided for use in voice evacuation applications. The programmable GPI port can be used to monitor and control other Ti Series components on the network, with RS485 bridging via the network audio link to all parts of the system.

Alternatively, the unit may be used independently just as an audio breakout, straight from the box. 24 bit DACs and careful attention to output drivers ensures a professional performance, with a dynamic range of 111dB unweighted and 96kHz sample rate compatibility (network dependant).
