Mixing to the power of Ten

SD TenMixing to the power of Ten

The DiGiCo SD Ten provides a potent new blend of features, performance, flexibility and sonic clarity, at a level between the midrange SD8 and the industry-leading SD5.

The SD Ten boasts additional features and benefits, many derived from the SD7. It comes with all the refinements you would expect on any DiGiCo console, including the power and purity of Stealth Digital Processing™, with the smoothness, accuracy and dynamic range of the latest generation Super FPGA technology with floating point processing, the heart of the standard setting DiGiCo SD7.

It also incorporates a host of exciting new options and features that are tailored to both front-of-house and monitor mixing. And with the optional broadcast or theatre specific feature set - you can convert your SD Ten into the SD Ten B or SD Ten T.

When you’re working with large numbers of inputs and outputs the SD Ten will readily accommodate you with 96 channels with full processing, 12 of which are Flexi Channels, 48 assignable busses that offer multiple configurations, plus a stereo or LCR master buss and a 16 x 16 output matrix.

The ultimate in intuitive user interfaces provides clear and fast access to the console’s powerful audio control, while for exemplary sound quality and transparency the SD Ten works with the next generation of I/O, in the shape of the DiGiCo SD-Rack, which delivers up to 192kHz high resolution analogue conversion. A wealth of interfacing options including MADI, Optocore and analogue connectivity also offers massive flexibility, with the ability to connect up to 14 racks and five redundant-engined consoles on an optical loop.

This is complemented by the powerful option of a fully integrated Waves Sound Grid for a wealth of world-class, ultra-low-latency plugins.

And that’s just for starters.

The SD Ten Series incorporates our 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.

Allied to the already powerful Super FPGA 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 (or 25 on an SDten -24) motorised faders, dedicated and multi-function control knobs and electronic labelling.

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 SD Ten 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 SD Ten Series’ 96 Channels (12 Flexi)– the equivalent of 108 channels of full DSP processing. Thanks to the combined power of the SD Ten 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 SD Ten Series provides a 16 x 16 output matrix as standard – its 16 busses being additional to the console’s 48 solo and master/LCR busses.

The SD Ten provides the power to deliver, even for the largest band or orchestra combination. 96 channels with full processing head the specifications, 12 of which can be configured as full Flexi Channels, allowing them to be switched to fully-featured stereo channels. All inputs channels are equipped with dual mono inputs for fast ‘Main’ and ‘Alt’ input switching.

Standard input channel processing includes Channel Delay; Single and Multi Channel presets; switchable filtering for HPF and LPF with an industry leading 24db per octave slope for maximum accuracy; four bands of parametric EQ with band curve selection; Compressor and Gate; Dual insert points; and access to all bussing.

Standard output channel processing includes Output Delay; eight bands of parametric EQ, Dyn 1 Compressor, De-esser, or Multi Band Compressor, Dyn 2 Gate, Ducker or Compressor; Dual insert points; Groups with Buss to Buss routing; and Auxes that have direct talk-to-output with Dim control.

Despite the medium format frame, the SD Ten provides up to 96 simultaneous input channels, thanks to DiGiCo’s Flexi Channel feature. With the 12 full Flexi Channels, each of the audio input faders can be selected to handle either mono or full stereo channels, or main and alternative inputs (ideal for shows with large numbers of stereo inputs) each with its own full EQ and dynamics. With the ability to assign and unassign any

Flexi Channel or buss to any fader, you can easily build custom fader banks – making the entire worksurface 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.

No fewer than 16 Dynamic EQ processors can be accessed simultaneously, further expanding the tremendous amount of sonically transparent signal processing available across the console.

Each of these provides both expansion and compression on all four bands of the parametric EQ – ideal for shaping and controlling your input or output signal in a dynamic way. Up to 16 of these powerful processors can be assigned to any of the input or output channels, whether they are stereo or LCR.

Multi-band compressors allow you to control any input or output channel, perfect for managing complex in-ear monitoring or difficult input channels. Again, up to 16 multi-band compressors can be positioned on either input or output channels.

The large, central, backlit, colour-keyed TFT touch screen makes operation of the most complex functions fast and intuitive, with a touch on the relevant channel strip instantly bringing up the feature required for accurate setting, while storing the settings in a snapshot – or recalling them – is equally simple.

Smart Key Macros are positioned on the right hand side of the SD Ten’s surface, with an expanded configuration of four layers of 10 RGB backlit smart keys for a total of 40 Macros. The user can program these to control any simple, or complex, functions they want to be able to recall at the push of a button.

Recognising that bussing requirements continually increase, the SD Ten comes to the show well prepared, with 48 assignable busses that can be configured as mono or stereo groups, or as auxiliary busses. Adding to this already substantial bussing resource are an additional stereo or LCR Master buss and a 16 x 16 output matrix, with the SD Range’s industry-renowned routing flexibility that lets you configure the console for the most complex show.

The master section incorporates 24 full 32-band gangable graphic equalisers with centre detent faders for fast system set-up, along with 24 control groups. And the snapshot facilities allow you to switch between complete configurations during rehearsal, system setup or the show in an instant.

Monitor engineers are also well catered for, with Dual Solo busses an additional feature giving the engineer the comfort and security of accurate monitoring of in-ear sends.

The DiGiCo SD Ten. All the control you need, with the DiGiCo sound you love.

If you’ve mixed on a DiGiCo console before, you’ll feel instantly at home with the SD Ten’s layout. If not, it should come as a very pleasant surprise, with intuitive mixing at the heart of our user interface design. The work surface is constructed from anodized aluminium, overlaid with polycarbonate panels to provide clear and concise user feedback, while a giant 15 inch, digitally driven, full colour TFT LCD touch sensitive screen provides you with plentiful feedback as well as fast control of all the main parameters. The touch screen means you can forget complex menu-driven interfaces, because nothing is ever further than a touch away. Your effects, dynamics and equalisation can be summoned up for each channel in a split second, with no hunting through multiple menus. Your mix is created on a bank of 37 (or 25 on an SD Ten -24) full-length motorised faders with accompanying high resolution bar graph meters to allow fast access to the large number of channels and outputs that can be assigned across the surface. The SD Ten’s snapshot flexibility – another feature that will be familiar to DiGiCo users – provides a wealth of facilities including global scope, snapshot specific recall, scope and crossfade, with the unique ability to crossfade no less than eight specific parameters within a snapshot – panning parameters, for example - or the ability to create a smooth ‘morph’ between EQ settings. The creative possibilities of the feature are virtually limitless.

You can take the console offline, enabling snapshot editing without affecting audio, and there are 40 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. When mixing lots of channels, quick access is an important factor in worksurface layout.

Your channels will be arranged within our banks of 12 faders, but with potentially hundreds of channels to handle, it might take a couple of button presses to get to them all. Now, with the new Set Spill feature you have a quick way of getting to a set of channels with a single button press. A set is just a pre-defined collection of channels and they can contain any number of channels and any type of input or output channel. It might be your drums, or the lead vocal complete with auxes for effects sends and extra input channels as effects returns. These sets are defined within the Set Spill Panel, an easy to use interface that allows the channels to be quickly added or removed from each of the sets. Each SD Ten can include multiple user-defined sets. Once the sets are defined, you can spill them directly to the surface. With just one button press, any set of channels can be brought to the surface for immediate control. Sets can be spilled by pressing the on screen button or more, conveniently, by assigning them to the Macro buttons. So no matter where you are on the worksurface, a single press of the macro button brings your chosen set of channels to the surface. The DiGiCo Set Spill function gives you quick and easy access to all your mix channels. Taking up just a single channel strip on the worksurface, the multi-channel feature incorporates up to 11 input channels, or members. These members are folded up into a single channel strip reducing worksurface overheads, then when adjustment is needed, it can be unfolded - displaying all of its members within the same worksurface bank. Several pre detemined types of multi-channels are catered for; they can be set up as surround inputs, with formats from LCR to 5.1, or as a multi- input, which is a selection of up-to 11 input channels.

Imagine bringing all your input channels for your drums together into a multi-input. When folded, you have a single overall control and when unfolded, you can access all of the channel processing controls for all of the channels. In fact, it’s even better than this. In addition to having a fader and mute control, we can also include processing elements into the folded multi channel. Need EQ control, or maybe dynamics or aux sends? Simply add them into the folded view. Now when it’s folded, you have direct access to channel processing for channels within the folded multi-channel. It’s like having super VCAs. This flexibility puts the controls you need right in front of you. No more searching through banks to find those channels. Set your worksurface up with a bank of multis for your mix, drums, guitars, vocals, effects, all controlled within a single bank and a handful of faders. This gives you much faster access to your mix parameters without switching banks. While multi-channels deal with input channels, we’ve taken the concept of folding and unfolding channels and applied it to our output busses. Using the same unfolding principle, we can take any stereo, LCR or surround output buss and separate or unfold it, displaying its individual components. For a stereo this is obviously the left and right legs, but for a 5.1 buss, it would be all 6 components. Once it’s unfolded, you can apply unique processing to individual legs, put in level offsets, changes in EQ, repatch external inserts or output paths and then, just like the input multi-channels, fold it back up and carry on mixing. So there you have it. Multi-channels. Unfold to adjust. Fold to mix. Fast and efficient mixing with DiGiCo.

DiGiCo provides a clear pathway to future expansion of your SD Ten’s facilities, in particular to its input/output (I/O) options.

Local I/O, positioned on the rear of the console, consists of eight Mic inputs, eight Line outputs, eight Mono AES I/O, two MADI connections with redundant cabling connections, 16 GPI and GPO connections, with the option to expand to 32 GPI and GPO and Wordclock for synchronisation with external devices.

Like all DiGiCo consoles, the SD Ten software will run on a standard PC or Intel based Mac to allow offline preparation of sessions or remote control of the console; all console functions are also available on the PC, and the software interface is identical.

And in the same way as an SD Ten can be remote controlled by a PC, one SD Ten can be linked to another using a standard CAT5 crossover cable. The two consoles are then both available, providing up to 74 faders

for control. In this configuration, the audio engine of the first SD Ten will also provide complete redundancy for the other.

There are five more SD Ten expansion options besides Waves SoundGrid.

Second-generation Optocore optic connections allow you to connect to your SD Ten with up to 14 SD or D-Rack IDs with 448 audio channels and 56 between console tie lines on a single redundant optical loop.

Five redundant consoles can share all inputs from the stage racks, and outputs on the system can be assigned in blocks of eight. Taking a standard FOH and monitoring system as an example, a single rack can provide 56 inputs to both consoles, with 40 of the outputs assigned to the monitor console and 16 used by Front of House for feeds back to the stage. The system even allows one console to directly route outputs to another console on the loop, for convenient tie lines.

The DiGiCo D-Rack, SD-Rack, SD-MINI Rack, SD-NANO Rack, SD7, SD5, SD Ten, SD8, SD9 and SD11 can operate happily together at 96khz. The audio advantage here is very clear, but the additional advantage of speed means just over 1ms of latency when routing a stage input through a channel

and buss with processing back to a stage output.

And connectivity to the outside world isn’t restricted to just the D-Rack, SD-Rack, SD-MINI Rack and SD-NANO Rack. The SD Ten comes with different I/O options because tailored DiGiCo systems and complex set-ups are completely user configurable. You also get dual hot-swap, switch mode power supply units as standard.

The dual BNC MADI connections are the key to another aspect of the package, providing the ability to make live multitrack recordings of rehearsals and shows direct from your SD Ten. While one MADI is used for the stage rack, the other can route any 56 inputs via the new front end MADI router, allowing for even more flexibility

in defining your desired recording and playback structure. The user can define the recording path for every input in their system, whether from stage or local on the console for seamless recording and playback to any MADI compatible recording system. The SD Ten’s worksurface incorporates a convenient flat area at top left to hold a laptop – with sturdy steel locating pegs to keep it in place.

Hook up a laptop running Logic, Cubase, Nuendo, Samplitude, Reaper, Pro Tools or any other leading multitrack recording software to the dedicated MADI port and you’re in business with a low cost, studio quality 56 track recording and playback set-up. Perfect, too, for fine-tuning scenes and settings at your leisure.

The DiGiCo SD Ten Broadcast provides a potent blend of features, performance, flexibility and sonic clarity, at a price point that brings advanced digital technology to a wider broadcast market than ever before.

Many of the SD Ten Broadcast’s technologies are also to be found in its larger sibling, the SD7B, instantly distinguishing it from other brands at this price point. It also features a host of broadcast-specific features that are perfect for live to air broadcast.

When you’re working with large numbers of inputs and outputs, the SD Ten Broadcast will readily accommodate you.

Facilities include 96 channels with full processing, 12 of which are Flexi Channels that can be configured as mono or stereo, with full processing available in either mode, 48 assignable busses that offer

multiple configurations, plus a stereo, LCR or 5.1 master buss and a complete 5.1 monitoring matrix with a 48 x 6 source to speaker selection.

For exemplary sound quality and transparency the SD Ten Broadcast works with the next generation of hot swappable I/O, the DiGiCo SD-Rack which delivers up to 192kHz high resolution analogue conversion.

That’s complemented by the powerful option of a fully integrated Waves Sound Grid, for a wealth of world-class, ultra-low-latency broadcast-specific plugins.

All of this comes in a form factor that is simple to work within the tightest OB truck or studio, which makes the SD Ten Broadcast system readily shippable as a fly away pack.

The SD Ten Theatre software upgrade brings many powerful features to the SD Ten platform, providing you with the essential tools for programming and running a theatre production. Expanding on the standard processing capabilities, the Theatre software adds the powerful Auto Update system to aid cue programming, Channel Aliases, the new Players update function and matrix nodal delays. When making cue-to-cue changes, the Auto Update system provides an incredible level of control, updating changes to channel parameters across all the cues automatically. When channel settings need to be different due to a change of costume or character, the Aliases easily take care of correctly updating each set of channel parameters. So updates made to one

character or costume – for example an EQ change – only affect that Alias, leaving the other Aliases unchanged. When multiple actors are playing the same role, the Players feature takes care of populating the show with that person’s unique channel settings – their EQ, filters, dynamics, etc. All of the careful programming of Aliases and cue-to-cue changes are retained, just updated with the new actor specific settings. VCA programming becomes a breeze using Channel Sets, allowing easy allocation of groups of channels – for instance, members of the chorus or the band. Since most theatrical productions use distributed loudspeaker systems, the addition of matrix nodal delays provides sound designers with all the control they need. With up to 1.3 seconds of delay available per node and

individually recallable per cue, this allows accurate control over audio placement and time alignment. This powerful toolset complements the standard high quality, efficient workflow processes that are built into every SD Ten, giving you the tools you need to get the job done in a logical and methodical manner, allowing more time to concentrate on being creative.

Recording and UB MADISimple 48 track recording and playback to USB

With the DiGiCo UB MADI USB 2.0 interface it is now even easier to get up to 48 channels of full duplex audio into and out of your PC or Mac. Simply connect the UB MADI to your computer via a USB cable and a MADI stream from the SD Ten and you’re away. Low latency recording and playback is there for you to complete your virtual sound-check or performance multi-track.

The UB MADI is small and robust and as it is not reliant on the USB’s data clock for sync, jitter is not a problem. The device will take the first 48 channels of any 48k AES-10 compliant connected MADI stream

or coaxial AES3 (AES/EBU) stereo audio and clock directly to it. With no input connected the UB MADI will switch to its own, highly stable, internal clock.

UB MADI - It doesn’t get much simpler than this.

X The UB MADI works with a PC or a Mac, so you won’t be limited by your choice of operating system. In addition, the UB MADI will work with virtually any digital audio workstation software. **

X The UB MADI interface is so small and light you can slip it inside your pocket. No bulky power supply required —just a USB 2.0 cable to connect to your computer, two MADI cables to the desk and hit record.

** For more information on compatible DAW software and minimum recommended computer hardware specification please contact your DiGiCo dealer or DiGiCo technical support.

MGO/MGBSimple - up to 128 track MADI recording and playback to CAT5E

The only difference between the DiGiGrid MGB and MBO is your choice of MADI on BNC or optical connection.

In simple terms, these units offer a new level of portable MADI. In the most basic mode, connect the SoundGrid network connection to your laptop or desktop.

You now have access to the two MADI I/Os. These can be used to record up to 128 channels through your computer’s 1GB Ethernet port, with simultaneous playback of 128 channels.

Add a SoundGrid DSP server and SWI plus Waves MultiRack application, and now any MADI-compatible live or broadcast console has instant access to real-time processing.Your system is now 256 MADI channels of audio at 48kHz.

Does your application demand higher levels of audio quality? A simple configuration change switches the unit over to 96kHz. In this mode, you still have 128 channels of audio with 64 channels of recording and 64 channels of simultaneous playback.

X 128 channels, captured straight through your DAW’s 1GB Ethernet socket BNC or Optical inputs and flexible control panel set up. It’s elegant, reliable and above all, simple to use.

The SD-Rack offers high resolution analogue to digital convertors, incredible flexibility and superior sound quality to complement the power of your SD Ten console. Running sample rates up to 96kHz, the SD-Rack can run multiple digital formats simultaneously, including AES/EBU, Dante, AES-42, MADI, ADAT and Aviom.

Based around the same Stealth FPGA technology as the Digital Engines in the SD range itself, the SD-Rack can run the optical loop at 96KHz while providing a down-sampled 48KHz feed to the broadcast truck

from one of the MADI output streams, even with Gain Tracking™.

Of course, it all starts with the mic pre-amplifier and here is the beginning of a high quality, sophisticated and sonically superior signal path. With the same FPGA technology onboard as the console itself, the SD range of racks provides industry leading A/D conversion and DiGiCo’s famous Gain Tracking™.

Gain Tracking™ gives all consoles +/-40dB of digital gain, which can be set

independently on a channel-by-channel basis, ensuring that once the analogue gain is set, each of the maximum of five consoles on the loop can Gain Track their own mixes. Should there be a need to adjust an analogue gain, each Gain Tracked channel will automatically compensate – ensuring your mix stays the same. Not only that, but any of the five consoles on the loop can take control of an analogue gain should clipping occur, safe in the knowledge that everyone else’s mix will be unaffected.The SD-Rack features 14 slots providing up to 56 ins and outs and comes with or

without optics. Running at 48kHz, the two MADI ins and outs provide 56 fully redundant input and output channels via a duplicate MADI aux. If you need to run at 96kHz, you can get a full complement of 56 channels of MADI in and out.

Each interface card is hot swappable and the rack will automatically identify the type of card and configure it. The dual power supplies are also hot swappable and easily accessible at the top of the rack, ensuring you won’t have to fight a mass of cables to get them out.

The next rack in the DiGiCo series of high sample rate interfaces is the D-Rack. It comes complete with CAT5 audio as standard, or, with optional optical connection, and can run sample rates up to 96kHz. Additionally, the D-Rack will now also support the Aviom interface and provides 32 inputs and 8 outputs as standard, with the option of eight modular outputs that can either run AES or analogue. This small, flexible rack is designed to sit on the floor, but can just as easily be rack mounted using the optional ears.

SD and D-Rack: It’s all about connections.

The SD-MINI and SD-NANO Racks are the latest additions to the DiGiCo range of high sample rate racks, complementing the SD and D Racks to make a completely flexible remote rack solution for any situation.

The SD-MINI is a 4U rack and can accept SD input and output cards, be they analogue or digital, including AES/EBU, Dante, AES-42, ADAT, HD-SDI and Aviom. Running purely digital, the MINI can run up to 32 ins and outs. Or if it’s all analogue, you can have a maximum of 32 ins or outs or any combination in banks of eight (8 in and 24 out for example). The MINI has MADI connectivity as standard, with optical as an option .

There is also the ability to run the rack at different sample rates and to convert the Gain Tracking ™ split outputs to other sample rates for compatibly with external devices.

At the smallest end of the spectrum is the SD-NANO Rack. This 2U stage box works almost exactly the same way as the MINI, except it is half the size and therefore can only handle half the amount of inputs and outputs. The NANO is only available with optical connectivity.

So, when you need smaller racks distributed around a stage or building, the MINI and the NANO are there to provide you with

flexible, affordable digital I/O, totally compatible and controllable with the full range of DiGiCo consoles and the larger SD and D Racks.

With up to a total of 14 racks on one optical loop, or 28 on a dual loop system, it is easy to see the potential for large corporate events, installations or just expansive stages. This, coupled with the ability for any of the five consoles that can sit on one optical loop being able to address all inputs and individually address output slots on any rack, gives any engineer, or system designer the flexibility and power they need to make any complex situation easy and intuitive.

When the professional audio world first set eyes on the DiGiCo D5 Live there was a collective sharp intake of breath. Here was a digital mixing console that gave you the best of analogue working practices and audio finesse with all the versatility and feature richness that the digital environment could offer.

A decade on, the SD Series is the new standard setter and its fast, engineer friendly user interface has yet to be beaten. And to many engineers it continues to offer the optimum sonic combination of analogue smoothness and digital clarity. But expectations continue to rise. In a world as competitive for engineers as it is for console owners, you want the best tools you can lay your hands on. You also want a console as well

thought out for every major application as it is designed for the art and science of sound engineering. Above all, you want to do more. That’s why we’ve added yet more depth and versatility to the SD Series, in which the DiGiCo SD7 is complemented by the new SD5, powerful SD Ten, compact SD8, the ultra compact SD9 and rackmount SD11.

What makes the SD Series different from the D Series and other digital consoles?

The SD Series gives you more. More power, more flexibility and more creativity, wrapped in frames which are more serviceable, more compact and more user-friendly than ever.

Selected features include:All audio processing on one chip Stealth Digital Processing™ From input to output all the audio processing on an SD Series console is carried out on one chip using Super FPGA technology with floating-point processing, resulting in enhanced clarity, unique sound characteristics and a smaller console footprint.

The Power of Waves The SD Series is the world’s first range of digital mixers to offer the power of Waves SoundGrid® as a fully integrated option, complementing the array of built-in Stealth digital effects.

Slicker Interface With 15 inch touch screen LCD TFT technology and user-defined RGB back lit LCD scribble strips delivering uninterrupted user feedback.

Advanced Software UI Building on the fine qualities of over 20 years of digital development, our engineers have delivered a user experience that’s even faster, easier and more productive than ever.

After the briefest introduction, it’s clear that the DiGiCo range was designed for audio engineers by audio engineers.
