About the DiGiCo SD-10 Digital Mixing Console
The DiGiCo SD-10 is a large-format, professional digital mixing console that stands as a central production hub for major live sound, broadcast, and theatrical applications. It represents a balance between the expansive channel count and processing power of the flagship SD7 and a slightly more compact physical footprint, making it a versatile choice for high-profile touring acts, fixed installations in large venues, and major broadcast productions. The console is built around DiGiCo's proprietary Stealth Digital Processing FPGA core, which delivers pristine audio quality at a 96kHz sampling rate with ultra-low latency, ensuring absolute reliability and sonic transparency. Its control surface is both comprehensive and ergonomic, featuring a large, high-resolution TFT master screen, dedicated OLED scribble strips above every fader, and an extensive array of dedicated knobs and buttons for immediate access to channel processing, dynamics, and effects.
The SD-10 offers a substantial and flexible channel architecture, typically providing up to 96 input processing channels and 56 mix busses, all fully configurable. It boasts 31 touch-sensitive, motorized faders arranged across multiple layers, allowing instant physical control over a vast number of signals. The console includes a powerful, fully featured effects rack with high-quality dynamic and reverberation processors, and comprehensive snapshot and show file management for rapid recall of entire productions. Its deep macro functionality and support for extensive external control via MIDI or OSC make it highly adaptable to complex, automated workflows, particularly in theatre and broadcast where precise, repeatable control is essential.
Connectivity and system integration are key strengths of the SD-10. It is equipped with multiple Optocore fiber network ports for seamless, redundant connection to a wide range of DiGiCo stageboxes, enabling robust system designs for the largest tours. It also includes extensive local I/O, multiple MADI ports, and comprehensive digital and analog connections. Built into a rugged, road-ready frame, the SD-10 is engineered for the demands of continuous touring while offering the depth of features needed for the most complex mixes. It delivers the power, sonic fidelity, and operational flexibility that front-of-house and monitor engineers require to manage elaborate productions with confidence and creative freedom.
