1.1 Introduction
The Digico SD9 consists of a worksurface with an onboard audio engine and a range of onboard inputs and outputs. This can be
connected to multiple Input/Output Rack Units by CAT5 cable or MADI links which carry all the audio input and output signals.
The console worksurface consists of 2 sections that can control 48 mono or stereo input channels, 8 VCAs, up to 24 mono or
stereo busses, 12 Matrix inputs and 8 Matrix outputs, 16 onboard graphic EQs and 8 onboard stereo effects.
The left and right sections each have 12 assignable faders and 12 sets of assignable encoders and switches.
Either of these worksurface sections can be assigned to the centre touchscreen.
Multiple console setups can provide:
Front of House and Monitoring with a shared stage rack and gain tracking.
Remote control of a console from a laptop computer.
