News Summary:
On October 8, 2026, the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), part of Edith Cowan University, completed a significant investment in its performance spaces, selecting DiGiCo consoles alongside L-Acoustic loudspeakers, Fourier’s transform.engine, and KLANG.vokal systems to provide students with industry-standard audio equipment. Previously, on October 7, Richard Ashcroft’s audio engineers continued to utilize DiGiCo equipment for his summer tour, carrying over a simplified specification from an earlier arena tour to create a raw festival setup. This follows DiGiCo's launch on October 1 of its Quantum638 mixing console, previously codenamed "Tarpon," which includes an optional Quantum638T version tailored for theatrical productions like musicals, plays, and tours. The new desk integrates elements of the SD7 and SD5 with Quantum technology, providing sound teams with a powerful worksurface designed for quicker access to cue firing and Macros, emphasizing speed, redundancy, and compact control.
