Description

DiGiCo consoles are used on many of the biggest live sound tours and events around the world and the compact S-Series made this pedigree of audio performance available to every part of the industry, with Stealth Digital Processing™ introducing a new standard of audio quality, power, and flexibility not seen before at its price point.

The DiGiCo S-Series multi-touch touch screens, breaking the mold for small format consoles!

S-Series Consoles

S31

Favored by multitudes of sound engineers all over the world, the S31 brings DiGiCo ownership within easy reach of everyone with flagship audio quality, power, and flexibility all in a compact frame that will travel easily in a car. With its increased functionality and accessibility, the S31 opens even more doors to limitless mixing creativity, at an astonishing price point.

The S31’s expanded work surface is as intuitive as it is familiar, with three 10-inch multi-touch screens over three banks of 10 faders, giving clear visual feedback and control of 30 channels simultaneously. With 48 flex channels, the equivalent of 16 busses, and benchmark 96kHz performance, the S31 is in every sense worthy of the DiGiCo badge.

Based on the same pioneering design approach as the industry-leading SD-Range, the S31 boasts the same proprietary algorithms plus a new ARM QuadCore RISC processor which runs in harmony with the FPGA core. The result is faster processing with lower power consumption, all packaged in the workflow that the industry’s most respected engineers rely upon – now available to everyone.

Under The Hood

Familiar to the touch and built for the road, the S31 offers to mix without limits. The integration of a high-power QuadCore SoC with high bandwidth memory, a low-power 484-ball array FPGA, and a fourth-generation control SHARC DSP offers unprecedented power today as well as the potential for a future processing upgrade path. The compact footprint of the S31 has no relationship to the scale of processing power going on under the polycarbonate worksurface.

Visual feedback is further reinforced by the HTL (Hidden Till Lit) functionality of the encoder rings, while parameters currently not in use are automatically greyed out, always drawing your attention to the right controls.

The triple screens aim to aid the new user learning curve and remove distractions by not only giving you more channels to view at any one time, but also allowing one screen to be used as a setup or master whilst the others are utilized for operation. All touchscreens are responsive to EQ shaping, with fine-tuning available via the tactile and intuitive rotary encoders.

Altering the Channel Bank layout, and mixing and matching any channel, aux, group, control group, or matrix within a bank is easily accomplished by drag and drop at the touch of a screen.

I/O

The console’s rear panel offers 24 Mic inputs and 12 Line outputs, a UB MADI interface for DAW recording, in addition to dual DMI (DiGiCo Multichannel Interface) option card slots, interfacing to industry formats such as Analogue, MADI, Dante, Waves SoundGrid, or Calrec’s Hydra 2 Network.

Get instant access to 32 fully integrated low-latency Waves stereo MultiRacks, each with up to eight plug-ins per rack, by fitting the DiGiCo Waves SoundGrid DMI card linked to external SoundGrid or DiGiGrid servers, giving a total of 128 additional I/O. However, you should check

S21

DiGiCo’s world-renowned innovation, deep feature-set, and flagship audio quality of our high-end digital consoles are within reach of everyone. How? Meet the S21 – a world-class DiGiCo mixing console at an astonishing price.

Step up to the S21’s worksurface, complete with dual P-CAP multi-touch screens, 48 Flexi-channels, the equivalent of 46 buses, and benchmark 96kHz performance, and this console’s heritage is clear – the S21 is every inch a DiGiCo desk. It’s also a revelation in terms of what an introductory digital console can deliver.

Based on the same pioneering design approach as the industry-leading SD series, the S21 boasts the same proprietary audio algorithms plus a new ARM QuadCore RISC processor which runs in harmony with the FPGA core. The result is faster processing with lower power consumption, all packaged in the workflow that the industry’s most respected engineers rely upon – now available to everyone.

The compact footprint of the S21 has no relationship to the scale of processing power going on under the polycarbonate worksurface.

The two touchscreens each provide 10 channel strips, giving not only clear visual feedback and control of 20 simultaneous channels for a single user but also the possibility when mixing large shows for more than one operator to take advantage of the newly designed drag, swipe, and drop feature that simplifies custom fader layouts.

The dual-screen concept aims to aid the new user learning curve and remove distractions by not only giving you more channels to view at any one time but also allowing one screen to be used as a setup or master whilst the other is utilized for operation. Both touchscreens are responsive to EQ shaping, with fine-tuning available via the tactile and intuitive rotary encoders.

I/O

The S21’s local I/O section includes 24 mic/line inputs, 12 line outs, two mono AES/EBU, and two DMI (DiGiCo Multichannel Interface) card slots which interface to standard industry formats such as Analogue, MADI, Dante, Waves SoundGrid, or Calrec’s Hydra 2 Network.

The console connects seamlessly with the DiGiCo remote I/O D-Rack providing an additional 32 inputs and up to 16 outputs.

Get instant access to 32 fully integrated low-latency Waves stereo MultiRacks, each with up to eight plug-ins per rack, by fitting the DiGiCo SoundGrid DMI card linked to external SoundGrid or DiGiGrid servers, giving a total of 128 additional I/O.
