For those who need the power of a flagship console without the logistical headaches of heavy freight.
DiGiCo has just expanded its flagship Quantum series with the Quantum 112 - their first true flypack console. This super compact, yet super powerful desk brings full Quantum-level processing and features into a travel‑friendly form factor — intended for today’s touring, install, and remote production markets.
At its core, the Quantum 112 is a single‑screen, 12‑fader digital mixing console designed to be ultra portable without compromising on the processing power DiGiCo Quantum is known for. The Quantum112 represents a genuine leap forward in portability for high-end live sound. At just 23 kg when housed in its custom Pelican Air 1637 case, it’s light enough to travel as checked baggage on most commercial flights, redefining what’s possible for touring engineers and production teams. This makes it ideal for those who need the power of a flagship console without the logistical headaches of heavy freight.
Despite its compact form, the DiGiCo Quantum112 retains the full processing architecture of its larger siblings. Built on DiGiCo’s seventh-generation FPGA platform, the Quantum112 is also ready for the future, offering the same long-term reliability and expandability that define the Quantum family. Popular Quantum features like Mustard Processing, Spice Rack, and Nodal Processing are all present, offering engineers deep creative control and routing flexibility in a footprint that fits into even the tightest control areas. Its wide range of I/O options — including dual DMI slots, Dante, MADI, AES, analog connections, and optional Optocore networking — ensures that the console can adapt to virtually any workflow or system configuration.
Key Features:
Even in its compact shell, the console retains DiGiCo Quantum series capabilities:
- 80 input channels with full processing
- 24 aux/subgroup busses
- A 12×8 matrix (full processing)
- 12 control groups + 2 solos
- 20 Mustard Processing channel strips, 6 Spice Rack plugin slots, and 24 Nodal Processing channels
- 12 graphic EQs and 8 FX rack slots
The front surface offers a large 17″, 1000-nit high brightness multitouch display with 18 TFT channel displays and 12 touch‑sensitive, motorised 100 mm faders.
On the I/O side, the rear panel includes:
- 64×64 Dante primary + secondary ports (Ethercon)
- 16 analog Mic/Line inputs + 8 analog line outputs (with DiGiCo’s latest 32‑bit ‘Stadius’ preamps)
- AES/EBU in/out
- 4 sets of MADI I/O
- 2 DMI slots for expansion (ADC, AES, MADI, Dante, etc.)
- Built-in UB MADI via USB Type B for direct 32-channel recording / playback
- Optional Optocore interface for fiber linking (HMA, OpticalCon or ST)
Performance specs: 0.5ms latency (typical - Mic in to Line out, no channel Processing), 40-bit floating‑point internal processing, 32-bit converters, and < 0.002% THD+N over 20 Hz–20 kHz.
"It’s designed not to replace the bigger consoles but to complement them — giving engineers a familiar Quantum workflow in situations where space, weight, or mobility are key considerations."
How It Compares to Other Quantum Consoles
While the larger Quantum desks such as the Quantum338 offer more faders, multiple touchscreens, and higher channel counts, the Quantum112 delivers the same sonic precision and processing philosophy in a more compact, travel-ready frame. It’s designed not to replace the bigger consoles but to complement them — giving engineers a familiar Quantum workflow in situations where space, weight, or mobility are key considerations.
Ideal Use Cases & Scenarios
The Quantum112 is perfectly suited to small and medium-sized tours, remote broadcast setups, and portable church or multi-venue installations. It’s also an excellent option as a satellite or backup console within larger systems, offering full integration with other DiGiCo gear. In educational settings, it provides students and trainees with access to world-class processing tools without requiring a full-size rig.
