The DiGiCo SD8 is a versatile digital mixing console based on Stealth Digital Processing and Super FPGA technology, delivering high-end performance in an intuitive interface. When paired with a MADI-Rack (MaDiRack), it forms a standard 48-input touring or installation package.
DiGiCo SD8 Console Description & Specs
The SD8 features a high-resolution 15-inch touchscreen and motorized, touch-sensitive faders. It was significantly enhanced with the Stealth Core 2 upgrade, which doubled its processing capacity.
- Processing Capacity: 120 Input Channels, 48 Aux/Sub-Group Busses, and a 16×16 Full Processing Matrix.
- Faders: 37 x 100mm motorized faders (arranged in three banks of 12 plus one master fader).
- Audio Quality: Supports 48kHz or 96kHz sample rates with up to 40-bit floating-point internal processing.
- Onboard FX & EQ: 16 Stereo Internal FX, 24 Graphic EQs (32-band), and 190 Dynamic EQs/Multiband Compressors/DiGiTuBes.
- Local I/O: 8 Mic/Line inputs, 8 Line outputs, and 8 AES/EBU (mono) I/O on the rear panel.
- Redundancy: Dual redundant internal power supplies as standard.
- Connectivity: Two MADI interfaces (75 Ohm BNC) and optional factory-fitted Optocore fiber optics.
MADI-Rack (MaDiRack) 48/24 Description & Specs
The MaDiRack is an 8U fixed-format remote I/O rack that connects to the console via a digital MADI multicore.
- Input Capacity: 48 fixed microphone inputs.
- Output Capacity: Standard configuration includes 8 analog outputs, which can be expanded up to 24 outputs using 8-channel modules.
- Module Options: The additional outputs can be a combination of analog, AES/EBU, or Aviom.
- Redundancy: Dual MADI ports (BNC) allow for redundant cabling or sharing the rack between two consoles (at 48kHz).
- Power: Dual redundant power supplies for reliable operation in live environments.
- Size: 8U rackmount unit.
