DiGiCo


DiGiCo is a British company, founded in 2002, that manufactures digital mixing consoles targeted for live audio mixing applications.

Products

DiGiCo's most current console lineup comprises the SD-Series of consoles, powered by Stealth Digital Processing. Pioneered with their flagship SD7, Stealth Digital Processing describes DiGiCo's first use of a single large scale FPGA for audio processing. Combined with Tiger SHARC DSP chips for effects processing and control, this new technology allows an entire audio engine to occupy only a single PCB.
The SD7 continues to be the flagship of the range, with consoles derived from it targeting other market areas and sizes of application. Currently the rest of the range comprises the SD5, SD10, SD8, SD9 and rack-mountable SD11, listed in order of size. T and B software is also available for selected consoles.
The use of a flexible FPGA processing engine allows dedicated software to be written, to further refine the consoles features and operation for specific applications. The SD7, SD10 and SD9 are available with the optional theatre upgrade package, with the SD7, SD5, SD10, SD9 and SD11 having the option of a broadcast package.
Legacy DiGiCo consoles include the D1 and D5 Live platforms, as well as the D5T theatre console and DS00 studio production and broadcast console. The D-Series of consoles used a modular DSP engine, combining multiple SHARC DSP chips to form a large scale audio engine, still the method by which virtually all digital console manufacturers design their products.
In January 2016, DiGiCo announced "Stealth Core2", an upgrade to release additional processing from the audio core of the SD series of consoles.

Musical Theatre

DiGiCo's consoles have been used on many Musical Theatre Productions; on tour, on Broadway and on the West-end. Most Theatre productions using SD and Quantum 7 consoles use the 'Theatre' software version, as it provides a number of application specific features such as a specialized cue and DCA assignment system that allows spreadsheet-style editing of DCA members. These features were implemented by DiGiCo in collaboration with Autograph Sound Recording's founder Andrew Bruce.
