PHILIPPINES: Hx Pro Inc. has taken a significant step in advancing the Philippines’ live sound landscape with the delivery of the country’s first DiGiCo Quantum 852 console, marking a notable milestone for both the company and the wider Southeast Asian market. Supplied by Joint Venture Sound Light Entertainment Concepts, Inc in December, the flagship system now joins Hx Pro’s expanding inventory, further reinforcing its position as a leading DiGiCo rental partner in the region.

Based in Mandaluyong, Hx Pro Inc. has built a strong reputation as a provider of high-end audio, lighting and video solutions, with a consistent focus on supporting large-scale touring, broadcast and live event productions. The addition of the DiGiCo Quantum 852—DiGiCo’s most advanced mixing platform—completes the company’s Quantum Series lineup while aligning with a growing shift in technical riders specifying the console for major productions heading into 2026.

Hx Pro Inc’s Managing Director Rex Maliuanag explains that the investment had been in motion since the console’s initial introduction. “We’ve been eyeing the Quantum 852 from the moment it was introduced,” he says. “Due to strong global demand, it took some time before our allocation became available. For us, the decision to bring it in-house was a natural step.”

Alongside the console, Hx Pro Inc. has also taken delivery of the country’s first Fourier Audio transform.engine with transform.suite installed, following an early demonstration that highlighted its potential to expand both creative and technical workflows. Designed to integrate seamlessly with DiGiCo consoles, the platform enables native VST plugin support, offering engineers greater flexibility within a unified mixing environment.

“The Fourier platform impressed us immediately,” Maliuanag adds. “Integration with DiGiCo consoles is seamless, and the ability to support industry standard VST plugins within that workflow gives our engineers greater flexibility and control.”

The investment reflects Hx Pro’s ongoing strategy to deploy next-generation audio technologies that meet the increasing demands of complex productions, while also supporting the continued evolution of the regional rental market.

Commenting on the development, Ian Staddon, Vice President of Sales for DiGiCo, emphasised the broader impact of Hx Pro’s commitment. “Rex and HX Pro have been a long-term partner for DiGiCo, whilst Rex in particular has been an amazing ambassador for us for many years,” he said. “Hx Pro along with Joint Venture have not only developed the local rental market, but expanded DiGiCo into both the church and broadcast markets. His commitment to DiGiCo by investing in both Q338’s and now the Q852 really puts HxPro on the map as a serious high-end system supplier in Southeast Asia.”
