Providing high-end audio, lighting, staging and backline for concerts, festivals, corporate events, Brisbane-based company IJS recently welcomed DiGiCo’s latest digital mixing console, the Quantum 852, into its inventory.
‘It’s important that our consoles are rider-friendly, reliable, and remain current with market trends,’ says IJS General Manager, Jay van Lieshout. ‘DiGiCo consoles are highly sought after, thanks in part to the workflow advantages of the DiGiCo ecosystem. In short, engineers love them, so it just makes sense for us to stock them in our hire inventory.’
Over the past decade, the company has compiled an impressive inventory of DiGiCo consoles, including three Quantum 338 consoles, two SD11i and an SD10. The addition of the Quantum 852 highlights the company’s focus on future-ready solutions that support a variety of production scenarios. ‘IJS has been updating and scaling up its audio inventory in recent years,’ van Lieshout says. ‘As part of this, it made sense to have a large format, high input count console such as the 852 in our growing fleet.’
DiGiCo’s flagship console, the Quantum 852l employs the processing power of the UK-based manufacturer’s seventh-generation FPGA engine, offering up to 384 input channels, 192 aux/subgroup buses, and a 64 x 64 processing matrix, all with full channel processing. Advanced tools like Nodal Processing, Mustard Processing, True Solo and Spice Rack enhance its versatility and sound-shaping capabilities.
The console retains the exceptional sound quality of the Quantum hardware, ensuring its viability in production environments where uncompromising audio quality is critical.
IJS’ client roster includes some of the biggest names in live entertainment, with 2025 already seeing it piloting the likes of Woodford Folk Festival, Blues on Broadbeach, Six60 at Brisbane Riverstage, and Ministry of Sound: Classical, at HOTA.
