Description
The SD8 provides, as standard, a 16 x 12 output matrix, its 12 busses being additional to the console’s 24 stereo, solo and master busses. 60 mono or stereo channels – the equivalent of 120 channels of full DSP processing – and the combined power of the SD8’s technologies means that the number and quality of effects, dynamics or other functions is available to all channels simultaneously, no matter how the console is set up.
The SD8 supplies engineers with a wealth of features, some of which, such as snapshots and the ability to record directly from the remote mic pre amps will be familiar to D Series users. The high resolution, 20-LED bargraph meters, right beside each channel fader are a new feature.
But familiar or not, one thing that is certain is that the only feature the SD8 lacks is a big price tag. In fact, it comes in at a considerably lower cost than anything else in the DiGiCo range – or any comparative console for that matter – but still provides much, much more than its nearest rival.
