The contract requires the delivery of one new DiGiCo Quantum 852 digital mixing console to replace aging equipment (current DiGiCo SD7 consoles over ten years old) that is approaching end-of-life and hardware lifecycle limitations. The Air Force Band uses this equipment for community relations concerts in the National Capital Region, national tours, and protocol missions at high-visibility venues including the White House and Pentagon, making reliability and audio quality mission-critical.

Required specifications include a latest generation FPGA processing platform with minimum 384 input channels, Optocore Fiber network connectivity, Mustard Processing and Nodal Processing capability, 96kHz operation, integrated redundant power supplies, compatibility with existing DiGiCo stage racks and infrastructure, manufacturer's warranty, and a flight case with casters. The equipment must be new (not used or refurbished) and include all required power supplies and standard accessories.
