Interface
Again, the key here is simplicity and organization! The design is classic and straightforward. The gain potentionmeters are located at the top, and at the bottom, there are eight motorised faders, each 100 mm long, alongside the master fader. The central part is devoted to a 7-inch high-resolution touchscreen that displays all the features, I/O options, and effects.
Completing the user interface are a comfortable encoder and a set of physical buttons for selecting channels, solo, mute, recall, and manage effects and scenes. These can be stored and retrieved with a single click.
It is worth noting that the new Studiomaster model allows for the organization and recall of mute groups and DCAs, which can be placed on Layers that can also be recalled. These features make it comparable to much larger and more expensive consoles.
Digitrack 18 can be controlled using an iPad through Wi-Fi, making it possible to adjust sounds and optimize the overall set up while moving around the venue. The mixer can also be linked to a custom API or controlled by an iPad through RS485.
