DiGiCo launches the next product in the SD Series, the SD8. The SD8 has a fixed architecture and employs a smaller Super FPGA than the SD7, but contains the same features and versatility of the DiGiCo D Series, the company says. The SD8 incorporates Stealth Digital Processing, based on the single Super FPGA and combined with Analogue Devices Tiger SHARCS, to bring you the Tiger SHARC FX engine. This is designed to provide audio quality, precision and processing power with a range of built-in effects, reverbs, dynamics, output matrix and more.
The SD8’s control surface has 37 motorized faders, dedicated and multi-function control knobs and electronic labelling. It also has a 15-inch high-resolution, touch-sensitive TFT LCD backlit display. This is the SD8’s primary command center and works with every other control of the console, automatically displaying functions that are relevant at the time. A physical fader, knob or backlit, electronically labelled button is either provided as standard for every major mix function or can be programmed onto one of the user macro buttons.
The SD8 has 24 main channel faders and 12 assignable aux and touch sensitive master faders. Each bank of 12 faders is designed to be instantly assigned as channels or masters, allowing all 36 main faders to control inputs if desired, while any bank of 12 can be assigned to the touch screen for fine-tuning. The SD8 provides, as standard, a 12 x 12 output matrix, its 12 busses being additional to the console’s 24 stereo, solo and master busses.
