Club Citta chooses DiGiCo Quantum 338 for sound system refurbishment

Club Citta in Kawasaki, Japan, has seen historic performances from Nirvana, Oasis, Radiohead and many more, and is a popular stop for many Japanese and international touring bands. The input from touring engineers was enough to convince Toru Yamamuro (pictured), General Manager of Stage Production at Club Citta, that their planned console upgrade should be to a DiGiCo Quantum 338.

“We introduced our SD8 back in 2012, updating the SD with a 32-bit card in 2019, so when the time came to upgrade our system, we asked various people about the Quantum and the feedback was very good”, says Yamamuro. “We also received enquiries from overseas artists who wanted to use the Quantum 338, so we had a strong desire to install it ourselves, and we were able to make it happen.” The installation was completed in June 2024.

“With the addition of Mustard Processing and Spice Rack, plus the increase in EQ parameters, there are many more points at which you can process the sound”, continues Yamamuro. “I like the Mustard Processing, especially the vintage VCA Compressor, which feels like a DBX, it has a similar effect to the 1176. With the Quantum 338, I can apply EQ and compression while I’m mixing.”

“We have a Dante card installed”, he adds. “In the SD8 days, we sometimes recorded live performances using MADI and then recorded them again using Dante on the monitor desk. But now that the Quantum 338 has a Dante card installed, we can record live performances using just this.”
