Digico has unveiled the EX-007 expander unit, the latest addition to its SD7 range, at the Siel & Satis Radio show.
The new console was designed to substantially increase the number of faders and channels that can be simultaneously controlled by an SD7. The EX-007 can be set up at a distance of up to 100 metres via a Cat5 cable connection.
Digico states that it is possible to augment an SD7 with two EX-007s, each acting as control panel to provide 24 faders and two additional touch screens, as well as metering and other standard functions, thus transforming the SD7 into a 100-fader mixing console. The EX-007 networks to the SD7, has its own power supply and its own PC.
“The EX-007 has many applications,” said Digico’s managing director, James Gordon. “For touring, there’s the obvious advantage of more faders and the ability to control everything that’s on the main desk from multiple locations – ideal for shows where a number of mix positions are required because of a multi-stage set up.
“For fixed installations, the EX-007 can be used as a remote surface and, because it can be situated up to 100m away and controls both inputs and outputs, you can have your SD7 in the control room at the back of the theatre and your EX-007 in the auditorium. Also, the EX-007 is substantially smaller than the SD7, which has the added advantage of freeing up more seats and consequently means more revenue for the theatre.”
