DiGiCo Invests in Hardware-Enabled Audio Software Platform for Live Sound

DiGiCo announced the acquisition of UK-based live sound software developer and manufacturer Fourier Audio. The deal further strengthens DiGiCo’s investment in live sound innovation, building on its acquisition of immersive in-ear pioneer KLANG:technologies in 2018. The vision is to expand the integrated possibilities of DiGiCo mixing systems, avoiding the use of external hardware touring around the world, building a hardware-enabled audio software platform instead.

Once Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) took over the realm of studio operations, two generations of audio engineers have already learned to use only software plug-ins that emulate legendary consoles and dynamics processing equipment from brands such as Solid State Logic. The new UC1 controller combines classic console ergonomics with the power of SSL Native Channel Strip 2 and Bus Compressor 2 software plug-ins.
