At ISE 2025 DiGiCo announced the launch of a ‘T’ software version of its most compact Quantum Range desk, the Quantum225T.
“With its pristine sound, compact footprint, and attractive price, our Quantum225 has certainly proven itself to be a stellar choice for mid-sized live venues and tours,” said Austin Freshwater, managing director at DiGiCo. “Now, with the addition of the Quantum225T model to the lineup, we’ve condensed the bespoke versatility and exceptional pedigree of our flagship theatrical consoles into a tidy package that is a perfect match for small-to-mid-sized drama and musical productions.”
The Quantum225T’s functionality and work surface are instantly reconfigured to provide specialist theatre programming tools designed to deliver the versatility needed for theatre sound design, rehearsal and show operation. In particular, DiGiCo points to the console’s “intuitive programming and workflow” designed to enhance the cue system with Auto Update and cue data management tools.
Auto Update is designed to allow designers to establish intricate inter-cue relationships, with changes made to channel settings automatically propagating to other related cues. Character variations, often a result of costume and prop changes, are handled with the Alias function, and cast changes are managed through the Players function.
Quantum225T’s channel processing and mixing functions are identical to its live-focused Quantum225 counterpart, but the crosspoint matrix gains individual nodal delays and matrix aliases. DiGiCo said this is all achieved without compromising any of the Quantum225T’s general processing capabilities.
The console is designed to offer a lightweight-yet-robust control surface in addition to comprehensive “in the box” mixing, to reduce the need for outboard equipment. Among its amenities are now-familiar features from the existing Quantum Range, including Mustard Processing channel strips, Spice Rack plugin style native FPGA processing options, Nodal Processing, and True Solo.
The Quantum225T is equipped with 96 input channels and 48 busses, as well Mustard and Nodal Processor tallies to 36 and 48, respectively. Mix minus is also included in the new feature set, plus a larger 24×24 matrix. There are four MADI ports and dual DMI ports for added connectivity, 8×8 analogue and four AES channels for local I/O, built-in UB MADI, and optional Optocore, plus dual PSU.
DiGiCo’s theatre-specific software extension – already familiar to users of the Quantum852T, Quantum7T, Quantum338T, SD12T, SD10T and SD9T – can also be added to any Quantum225; an unlock code can be entered to enable the theatre features on any Quantum225 console.
The new Quantum225T is expected to ship in late March.
