DiGiCo has introduced the SD9, a complete, integrated system, which includes the mixing surface, a D-Rack digital stage interface and CAT 5E digital multicore, with the additional ability to simultaneously record 56 channels direct to multitrack software or DAW.
The SD9’s work surface features a large full-color digital TFT LCD touch sensitive screen, 24 full-length motorized faders with touch-sensitive fader caps, high resolution bar graph meters, quick access encoders and buttons plus user defined RGB backlit LCD scribble strips to ensure that all functions of the system are available to users in a split second, with no hunting through multiple menus.
It incorporates DiGiCo’s third-generation Stealth Digital Processing software as well as Super FPGA technology that incorporates floating point processing for exceptional headroom, dynamic range and audio quality.
The SD9 also features many other DiGiCo innovations, including snapshots, global scope, channel specific recall scope per snapshot, and a global crossfade for each console section, plus eight user Macros for fast access to presets.
The new D-Rack, which is an integral part of the SD9 system and connected to the work surface by a digital CAT 5E cable (included), provides 32 microphone inputs, eight line outputs and eight modular outputs that can be selected as either analog or AES, providing a capacity of 32 ins and 16 outs.
The system is expandable, allowing a second D Rack to be connected via an additional CAT 5E, doubling the number of inputs and outputs.
The D-Rack can either be floor or rack mounted with the option of a standard single power supply or dual redundant supplies.
A further option provides a fiber optic connection, allowing full compatibility with any DiGiCo SD Series console fitted with Optics, making the D Rack suitable as a stage or orchestral compact remote rack, giving access to a maximum of 64 inputs and 32 outputs on stage.
The console also provides a standard MADI connection, which allows 56 channels of studio-quality multitrack recording output to a computer running Logic, Cubase, Nuendo, Samplitude, Reaper, Pro Tools or any other leading multitrack recording software as well as to any other DiGiCo console or rack.
