Mixing in great company: Whichever SD Series frame size suits you, you’ll find the same creative mixing power, versatility and exceptional sonic purity that runs through the entire SD Series, from the pioneering SD7 to the ultra-compact SD9. These are the qualities that have made DiGiCo consoles the digital mixing platform of choice for a breathtaking spectrum of users around the world. From major international touring artists to Broadway and West End theatre installations; from live TV broadcasts and sports events to houses of worship of all shapes and sizes; from nightclubs and festivals to cruise ships and carnivals. One common factor inspires their choice: an unquenchable love of making great music, combined with a desire to mix it on the best sounding and most intuitive range of consoles in the world. 3
The SD8 and the new SD8-24. The power, finesse and clarity of DiGiCo digital mixing with Stealth Digital Processing™, and a choice of standard or ultra compact frame sizes. The DiGiCo SD8 Series brings you the complete DiGiCo digital mixing experience, from the ultimate in intuitive user interfaces to the power and purity of Stealth Digital Processing™, at a price point more commonly associated with midrange mixing consoles. Choose either the ‘standard’ SD8, with triple fader banks and a laptop rest, or the new SD8-24, a diminutive powerhouse which packs all of the SD8’s features into a space saving frame with dual fader banks less than a metre wide. It’s perfect for any application where space is at a premium – from corporate events to the West End and Broadway; from smaller theatres and colleges to houses of worship and tours. Either way, whether you’re upgrading from an analogue desk or adding more flexibility to an existing system, the SD8 Series offers DiGiCo’s accurate and sonically pristine Stealth Digital Processing™.

It’s also the world’s first ‘affordable’ console series to provide the smoothness, accuracy and dynamic range of the latest generation Super FPGA technology with floating point processing, the heart of the groundbreaking DiGiCo SD7. Both versions house an enhanced feature set that provides a powerful array of live sound engineering tools, made yet more powerful with the OverDrive package, extended Matrix and Graphic EQ facilities, and a powerful new multi-level Security system that allows you to ‘lock out’ anything from a single fader to everything but a single fader, be it a pastor’s mic or a VT feed. The SD8 Series offers an extensive specification in a complete digital package. It has a stage MaDiRack with 48 microphone inputs as standard, 8 analogue outputs and dual MADI connections – making rehearsal and live show recording a breeze – a digital MADI multicore, a full worksurface with integral I/O consisting of 8 Mic/ line inputs, 8 line outputs and 8 AES/EBU (mono). The essentials of the channel and master facilities are exactly as you’d find on any DiGiCo console and employ identical signal paths for exemplary sonic quality.
Defying the limits of conventional consoles, the SD8 series can potentially handle a staggering 120 inputs simultaneously, thanks to our Flexi Channel feature. With Flexi Channel, each of the 60 input channels can be selected to be either mono or stereo, ideal nowadays where so many sources are stereo (eg keyboards / hard disc playback / intro music / FX returns). In addition, each mono Flexi Channel has a Main and Alternate input… the days of sacrificing a channel for use as a ‘spare’ are long gone. Moreover, the ability to assign and unassign any Flexi Channel or buss to any fader allows you to easily build custom fader banks – making the entire work surface fully customisable. For example, you can set up the desk so that no matter what fader bank you’re working with, the lead vocalist can always be on the same fader. Despite the console’s compact footprint, this design replaces a rack full of outboard equipment and places the key tools where you need them, in the channel itself and – at a press of one button – on the touch screen. The screen is the same 15” TFT LCD specially developed for the SD7 and is matched with motorised faders arranged in blocks of 12 for logical operation. You’ll also appreciate DiGiCo’s snapshot automation, making scene store and recall a simple task, with advanced functions such as channel-specific snapshot control of channel parameters and crossfades. The master section incorporates 24 complete graphic equalisers with centre-detent faders for fast system set-up. Stereo or LCR master buss, 24 mono or stereo busses and a powerful 16 x 12 matrix complete the channel and bussing structure. But that’s not all, since the SD8 Series also provides dual solo busses for greatly increased flexibility as a monitor console. The DiGiCo SD8 and SD8-24. A new world of performance and versatility in a choice of frame sizes to suit your application.

The SD8 Series incorporates the highly innovative Stealth Digital Processing™, initially designed for the pioneering SD7. Based on a single Super FPGA combined with Analogue Devices Tiger SHARCS for an array of effects processing, it provides unrivalled audio quality, precision and processing power. The future is Super FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) technology with floating-point processing. Allied to the already powerful SHARC® processor, in use at the heart of every DiGiCo console, is the very latest Tiger SHARC® FX engine, all underpinned by DiGiCo’s Stealth Digital Processing™. Super FPGA technology is literally two generations beyond the world of DSP and is a core component of DiGiCo’s advances in console design. This potent combination provides a stunning level of instant controllability over multiple functions. It supports a comprehensive control surface with 37 motorised faders, dedicated and multifunction control knobs and electronic labeling. It also provides an extensive range of built-in, world-class effects, reverbs, dynamics, output matrix and more. Plus a huge, high resolution interactive touch screen that makes the SD8 Series a pleasure to mix on and, of course, the smoothest, cleanest and warmest digital console sound yet devised - at any price! These facilities are constantly available across every one of the SD8 Series’ 60 Flexi Channels – the equivalent of 120 channels of full DSP processing. Thanks to the combined power of the SD8 Series technologies, the number and quality of effects, dynamics or other functions available to all channels simultaneously is never compromised or reduced, no matter how you have the console set up. Recognising the ever growing need for many outputs to drive multiple loudspeaker arrays, monitors and more, the SD8 Series provides as standard a 16 x 12 output matrix – its 12 busses being additional to the console’s 24 mono or stereo, solo and master/ LCR busses.

Feature packed All the essentials you’d expect in a DiGiCo console are here, even if many come as a revelation at this price point. The most striking single feature is the large (15”), super high resolution, touch sensitive TFT LCD backlit display. This rich mine of real-time information is the SD8 Series’ primary command centre and works completely intuitively with every other control of the console, automatically displaying functions that are exactly relevant to what you’re doing right now. Because speed of operation is high up the SD8 Series’ design priority list, this approach continues throughout the worksurface. Look for menus and submenus and you’ll look in vain, as far as all major operations are concerned. 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 37 main channel faders (25 on the SD8-24) and the central master fader are smooth, top quality, 100mm long throw motorised types: accurate, durable and long proven. Touch sensitive fader caps put even more intuitive controllability right where you need it. Each bank of 12 faders can be instantly assigned as channels or masters, allowing all the main faders to control inputs or AUX sends if desired, while any bank of 12 can be assigned to the touch screen for fine tuning. Also familiar to D Series users is the SD8 Series’ snapshot flexibility – a feature as vital today for smaller theatre and touring acts as it is for the largest productions. It provides such features as global scope, snapshot specific recall, scope and crossfade, plus the ability to take the console offline enabling snapshot editing without affecting audio. There are also eight, user defined Macros for fast access to key parameters. For users upgrading from analogue or a budget digital desk, the snapshot and Macro facilities will open an exciting new realm of possibilities.

A clearer picture With the SD8 Series there’s no need to search for information – you always have a clear picture of every part of the signal path. As well as the built-in touch screen, an XGA output allows you to run an external overview screen, while each physical fader is accompanied by a meter integrated into the worksurface with a polycarbonate overlay, eliminating the need for a bulky meter bridge. Alongside each motorised fader is another important touch of clarity. On the one hand, DiGiCo’s designers wanted to place as much information as possible right where your hands normally are – at the faders. On the other, they also wanted to keep the console frame as low-profile as possible, so that when you’re mixing from a position of restricted visibility, you don’t have to peer over a tall meter bridge. The answer:- high resolution, 20-LED bargraph meters, right beside each channel fader. Goodbye, outboard racks A wealth of onboard effects, EQ and dynamics processing greatly reduces the need for external processing. 8 stereo floating point effects – including ultra smooth Stealth Reverbs – are available at all times with a choice of reverbs, delays and more. The power of Stealth Digital Processing™ delivers 24x32 graphic equalisers, assignable across any of the busses or channels, along with 8 channels of mono or stereo 4-band dynamic EQ and 8 channels of multiband mono or stereo compression, plus gate and a delay offering up to 1.3 seconds per channel. Dual solo busses For the first time in a mid-price console, the SD8 Series offers not one but two solo busses – excellent for monitor mixing, allowing separate soloing facilities for wedges and in-ear monitors. Each solo buss can be selected as mono, stereo, PFL, AFL or solo in place – versatility that’s unique to the SD8 in its price range.

As a further touch, the worksurface boasts full Gain Tracking™, an advanced feature of all DiGiCo consoles. This allows FOH and monitor consoles to share inputs, yet have independent gain structures. The MaDiRack has 48 microphone inputs which are complemented by 8 analogue outputs as standard. A further 16 analogue, AES/EBU or Aviom outputs can be fitted to allow for any connection requirements, whether feeding a crossover digitally or for IEM. The SD8’s dual BNC MADI connections are the key to another remarkable aspect of the package – the ability to make live multitrack recordings of rehearsals and shows straightforward and inexpensive.
MaDi Rack Output Card Options
While one MADI is used for the stage rack, the other is ready for use for live recording of all 48 inputs to any MADI compatible recording system. You’ll notice the SD8’s worksurface incorporates a convenient flat area at top left to hold a laptop – with sturdy steel locating pegs to keep your PC or Mac in place when the joint is jumping. Hook up a laptop running Logic, Cubase, Nuendo, Samplitude, Reaper, Pro Tools or any other leading multitrack recording software to the dedicated MADI port on the console’s left side and you’re in business with an instant, low cost, studio quality 48 track recording and playback set-up. Perfect, too, for fine-tuning scenes and settings at your leisure. The worksurface itself provides more I/O – 8 mic/ line inputs, 8 line outputs and 8 AES inputs and outputs (mono).
Optional MiNiRack
Finally, DiGiCo will offer an Optocore interface option as a special order item. Built for the road Every inch an engineer’s console, the SD8 Series is designed for the rough and tumble of the road, the pressure of corporate events and festivals, the rehearsals and nightly changes of operator in the theatre world as well as the unique challenges of providing excellent, repeatable audio for houses of worship. Powerful as it is on the inside, the SD8 Series is ready for everything the road can throw at it too. A sturdy steel chassis provides excellent rigidity, while the worksurface is highly resistant to wear and tear. Every aspect of the worksurface and the MaDiRack exudes DiGiCo quality, from the perfectly weighted encoder wheels and faders to the durable silk screening and solid construction.
