Data Sheet
3DiGiCo S21 Datasheet
The DiGiCo S21 shall have 21 faders split into 2 worksurface sections of 10 faders plus a master fader. Each worksurface section shall
have up to 6 layers of banks of 10 channels. The bank and channel layout shall be fully customisable, including the assignment of the
master fader. The console shall be capable of 48 exi input channels (mono/stereo), 16 exi Aux/Sub-group Busses (mono/stereo), a LR
Master Buss, 10 VCA style or mute group style Control Group channels, 2 Solo Busses, and a 10 input x 8 output full processing Matrix.
All processing paths shall have full processing including Tube emulation, Dynamic EQ and Multiband Compression. Tube emulation,
Dynamic EQ and Multiband Compression shall all be limited to 21 instances of each per session. All processing shall be internal and
FPGA-based. An internal FX rack with 8 stereo slots shall allow users to pick from 23 dierent FX. An internal set of 16 32-band GEQs shall
also be accessible.
2 x 10” multitouch screens shall be provided to show channel strips and the master controls. There shall also be a set of touch sensitive
rotaries with integrated switches and HTL colour encoded rings below each screen and another set of master rotaries to control global
parameters. The front panel shall also have a physical control to adjust the headphone level, as well as physical buttons to change the
snapshot, toggle the spill set and show the overview screen. The front worksurface shall also have a USB 2.0 slot and a ¼” headphone
socket as well as a 3.5mm headphone socket.
The rear panel shall have 24 Mic/Line inputs, 12 line outputs, 1 AES/EBU input (2 channels) and 1 AES/EBU output (2 channels). It shall
also have an inbuilt UB MADI (USB Type B audio I/O interface for recording and playback of up to 48 channels). The other connectors on
the rear of the console shall be 1 GPI, 1 GPO, Word clock in/out, a DVI port, 2 USB 2.0 slots, 2 ethernet ports and 2 DMI slots.
The dimensions of the S21 shall be: 763 (w) x 586 (d) x 295 (h) mm
The weight of the S21 shall be: 19 kg
The DiGiCo S21 shall be supplied with a dust cover.
In a world as competitive for engineers as it is for console
owners, you want the best tools you can lay your hands on.
You also want a console and audio tools as well thought out
for every major application as they are designed for the art
and science of sound engineering.
