The diminutive powerhouse that is the DiGiCo SD11 is about to be given an Injection of features to release some more of DiGiCo’s praised feature set.

This new, souped-up version becomes the SD11i and it really does give you more – more Flexi-channels, more Dynamic EQ more Multiband Compressors, more  FX processing and the addition of DiGiTuBes (previously only available on the SD7).

Further new features include an expanded Aux Panel, increased Dynamic functions such as a Duck option and expander for the Gate, a De-esser and two types of Knee for the Compressor. There are also new FX types with multitap, ping pong and stereo delay, with different delay times for left and right. A warmth button is provided on each channel for analogue emulation and two types of EQ have been added (Classic and Precision). There are also now Standard template sessions.

Another new feature, Sets (previously only available on SD7T), has been enhanced to allow for ‘Set Spill’. This allows the user to create Sets and, with a simple button press, change the console layout to display members of that Set.

DiGiCo are offering the SD11i upgrade FREE to all existing SD11 owners. (For a limited time only).

But that’s not all.

DiGiCo has also developed an application specific version of the SD11, the SD11-B, for the broadcast market.*

The development of the SD11i and SD11-B has been achieved via a set of software/firmware upgrades, only made possible by the future proof nature of the SD range’s use of large scale single chip FPGA technology, which creates DiGiCo’s Stealth Digital Processing™.

FPGA vs DSP

• FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) components have been around for almost as long as DSP. The historical issue in using FPGA for large audio applications was their relatively small size. This meant they performed the function of glue logic, allowing multiple DSP chips to communicate. It would be normal to find these small FPGAs in almost all digital audio designs. Evolution has meant that much larger FPGAs are available now, and these can perform far greater numbers of calculations than the most advanced DSP. The issue for designers is that most universities have been focusing their attention to DSP engineering, the result of which is a large shortage of skilled FPGA designers. This will of course change, and others will harness the additional benefits of FPGA audio design.

Stealth Digital Processing

• DiGiCo's Stealth Digital Processing^TM (Super FPGA) gives unparalleled sonic quality, performance and reliability. Designed from the ground up as a future proofed technology, Stealth Digital Processing^TM has been proven over and over again in the award winning SD7, SD8, SD9, SD10 and SD11 on some of the world's largest and most prestigious concert tours, musical theatre productions and installations.
