AUSTRALIA & INDIA: DiGiCo’s flagship Quantum 852 mixing console continues to make waves across global rental markets, with recent landmark purchases in both India and Australia reinforcing the brand’s market leadership in high-end touring and event production.

In Australia, Brisbane-based long-standing production powerhouse IJS has embraced the Quantum 852 as the newest and most powerful console in its audio arsenal. The company—renowned for delivering end-to-end production services for concerts, festivals, corporate shows and special events—has been methodically growing its DiGiCo inventory over the past decade, which now includes three Quantum 338 desks, two SD11i systems, an SD10, and, most recently, the Quantum 852.

“The addition highlights our focus on future-ready solutions that support a variety of production scenarios,” said Jay van Lieshout, General Manager at IJS. “It made sense to have a large format, high-input-count console such as the 852 in our growing console fleet.”

For IJS, the decision was also driven by the console’s compatibility with international rider requirements and its intuitive design for operators. “It’s important that our consoles are rider-friendly, reliable, and remain current with market trends,” van Lieshout continued. “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.”

The IJS acquisition was supported by Group Technologies, DiGiCo’s official distribution partner in Australia, further reinforcing DiGiCo’s robust channel network across the APAC region.

Meanwhile, across the Ocean in Mumbai, India, Sound and Light Professionals (SNL Pro) – widely regarded as one of the country’s leading comprehensive live event tech service provider – has become the first company in the country to invest in the Quantum 852.

A move that further deepens SNL Pro’s longstanding commitment to the DiGiCo ecosystem – the purchase was made during PALM Expo Mumbai and facilitated by Hi-Tech Audio & Image, DiGiCo’s official distribution partner in India.

For SNL Pro Director Manish Mavani, the decision reflects both loyalty and foresight. “We’ve been working with Hi-Tech for almost 18 years,” he said. “I remember buying my first large format console with them – they are the best in the business. We decided it was time for a new addition to the Quantum family and opted for the flagship Quantum 852 desk.”

The Quantum 852 now joins an impressive SNL Pro inventory that already includes several Quantum 338 desks. And according to Mavani, the introduction of the 852 is set to raise the bar for technical production across the Indian market, with team SNL Pro determined to ensure that the Q852 features on all the riders in the country.

With both SNL Pro and IJS placing their confidence in the Quantum 852, DiGiCo’s flagship platform is well-positioned to lead the next wave of large-scale productions across two of the most dynamic markets in Asia-Pacific.
