Representing a significant departure from what the company has done over the past 10 years is the S21 — the latest offering from DiGiCo.The S21 surface is a tightly integrated package that’s surprisingly compact and light weight. It’s also amazingly robust and roadworthy console, and the design really does feel like a DiGiCo. Many of the physical elements on the surface take design cues from the SD series, from the polycarbonate surface to the HTL (Hidden Til Lit) rotary controls. HTL technology uses colored backlighting around the outside of each knob to indicate a particular function. When a control is not in use, it grays out to allow the operator to focus on other active controls.
