The SD11B is a compact 19 inch rackmount or table top mixer. By simply removing the end cheeks and armrest, 19” rack fixings are revealed, making this low cost, yet powerful solution straightforward to incorporate into almost any mixing environment.
Manufactured with a steel chassis for strength and a polycarbonate-overlaid, aluminium work surface for reduced weight, the SD11B features 12 touch sensitive moving faders below a 15” touch sensitive screen, making the SD11B as simple to use at speed as any other DiGiCo console.
16 Microphone pre amps, eight line outputs and two mono AES I/O are provided, in addition to which users have the option to connect a DiGiCo D-Rack to the CAT5E port. This provides a remote I/O rack frame with an additional 32 Microphone inputs and up to 16 outputs.
Further connections are a MADI port, GPI/O, MIDI, Overview screen output, Word Clock I/O, an Ethernet port for console remote control / networking and a USB port for file exchange and session backup.
The SD11B features 32 input channels with full processing, ALL of which can be configured as full Flexi Channels. All inputs have dual mono inputs for fast ‘Main’ and ‘Alt’ channel switching, which are ideal for corporate events where a large number of spare microphones may be required.
Standard input channel processing includes channel delay; single and multi channel presets; HPF and LPF, with an industry leading 24db per octave; four bands of parametric EQ with band curve selection; compressor and gate; moveable insert point and access to all bussing.
Standard output channel processing includes output delay; four bands of parametric EQ; filtering; compressor and gate; moveable insert point; groups with buss to buss routing; and Auxes that have direct talk to output with dim control for fast monitor communication.
Dynamic EQ provides both expansion and compression on all six bands of the parametric EQ. These powerful processors can be assigned to any of the input or output channels, whether they are Mono, stereo or LCR and four units can be allocated as required. Multi-band compressors are also installed, giving the user extended dynamic control of any input or output channel. Again, six units can be positioned on either input or output channels.
One of the more unusual features for a digital console with the SD11B’s small footprint is that it has 12 Flexi Busses, which can be user configured as either mono or stereo. In its maximum configuration these could be used as 12 stereo mixes - equal to a remarkable 24 busses.
As well as this already substantial bussing resource, an additional stereo or LCR, LCRS or 5.1 Master and 8x8 output matrix is provided, facilitating the SD range’s renowned routing flexibility. Eight control groups (VCAs) are also provided for faster access to multiple channels and busses, user and snapshot configured for ultimate show control. Dual solo busses are also provided, making the SD11B well suited to managing Front of House and Monitoring tasks alike.
An unlimited amount of Snapshots can be saved and recalled, with user defined recall scopes being set globally, per snapshot or per channel function. Additional tools include feature-defined crossfade, sequence fire, MIDI control and a Snapshot notes panel.
In addition to the SD11B’s core processing functions, insertable Stealth stereo FX and 12 graphic EQs can be routed, controlled and even snapshot recalled for the most complex show design. Six Stealth stereo FX units can be configured at any time from the palette of thirty-three effects.
All SD Series consoles integrate with Waves plugins. Unlike any other Sound Grid platform, DiGiCo provides complete control of plugin parameters, as well as recall of snapshots and single loading and saving, directly from the console’s surface. Sixteen stereo Sound Grid racks can be inserted, with up to eight plugins in each rack.
Like all DiGiCo consoles, the SD11B software runs on a standard PC or Intel-based Macintosh for offline preparation and remote control of the console. One SD11B can also be linked to another, using a standard CAT5 crossover cable, providing 24 faders for control. In this configuration, the audio engine of the first SD11B provides complete redundancy for the other.
A final important facility is that advanced security options can be configured to protect console settings from accidental or unwanted change. These can also be password protected, making it possible to vary the amount of user parameter control.
The SD11 series comes at an astoundingly low price point yet, by employing the power of DiGiCo’s Stealth Digital ProcessingTM and the flexibility of a true FPGA-based digital audio console, it maintains the very highest audio quality and best facilities. The release of a set of software/firmware upgrades now means that this versatile solution is available in three configurations: SD11, SD11i and SD11B.
SoundGrid Ready
With the new DiGiCo SoundGrid module added to your SD11onsole and linked to an external PC server, you’ll have instant access to up to 16 fully integrated low latency Waves stereo processor racks on the SD Ten, perfect for either front-of-house or monitors.Plus, once registered, you can use your TDM plugins collections too!

I/O
16 Microphone pre amps, eight line outputs and two mono AES I/O are provided, in addition to which users have the option to connect a DiGiCo D-Rack to the CAT5E port. This provides a remote I/O rack frame with an additional 32 Microphone inputs and up to 16 outputs. Further connections are a MADI port, GPI/O, MIDI, Overview screen output, Word Clock I/O, an Ethernet port for console remote control / networking and a USB port for file exchange and session backup.
