The Ultimate Pro Tools Control Surface!
In the past big, expensive tape machines ruled the studio world; and big, expensive consoles from names like Neve, Harrison and Euphonix went hand in hand with those machines. But while the recording world made the shift from tape-based systems to the Pro Tools environment, the big consoles have had a hard time keeping up. Their lack of integration with Pro Tools made them awkward "square pegs" trying to fit into the "round hole" of professional digital audio workstations. High-end production houses never had a TOTALLY integrated Pro Tools environment that completely incorporated control, I/O, monitoring and software implementation - until the Digidesign ICON!



D-Control Tactile Worksurface
The innovative mixing centerpiece of ICON, the D-Control tactile worksurface, employs an intuitive console layout. The Master Module includes easily accessible, comprehensive center section controls, and is complemented by a 16-channel Fader Module that can be installed to the right or left of the Master Module (additional Fader Modules can be easily added as needed). D-Control's ergonomic design enables full control from the channel strips with minimal paging, while its abundance of LCD displays, LED rings, and bargraphs facilitates the visual feedback operators require.

Digidesign D-Control Features:
  • Slim, sleek control surface, expandable to 80 physical faders/channel strips with optional 16-channel Fader Modules; Master Module includes one 16-channel Fader Module
  • New, dark color scheme
  • High-quality, touch-sensitive, motorized faders
  • Six touch-sensitive, multi-purpose rotary encoders per channel strip with 15-segment, multi-color LED rings that display encoder position or metering. Each rotary encoder also features a 6-character alphanumeric, multi-color LCD display for function parameters in addition to one display for the channel scribble strip
  • 29 illuminated pushbuttons per channel strip that facilitate fast selection of channel modes and attributes
  • Two bargraph meters per channel, and eight Master section bargraph meters
  • Comprehensive monitor/communications control section
  • Dedicated control sections for EQ and dynamics plug-in editing
  • High-speed Ethernet connection to Pro Tools | HD Accel DSP mixing core
  • VESA standard TFT mounting arm for flat-panel display (display not included)


XMON Monitor System
XMON is D-Control's remote, rack-mounted, analog I/O audio monitor and communications system. With the XMON and D-Control, you can monitor two separate, simultaneous 8-channel mixes (mono to 7.1 surround) as well as four external stereo sources. These inputs are selectable to multiple main, near-field or mini speaker configurations. XMON also provides three separate stereo Cue outputs, studio monitors (SLS), and a dedicated engineer's headphone output.

Digidesign XMON Features:
  • Single 15-pin cable connection for remote positioning of XMON up to 80' away from D-Control
  • All XMON audio I/O connections are made with standard DB-25 multi-pin connectors
  • Separate port supports External Talkback input, two Listenback inputs, AFL stereo solo input, and Mini Speakers (stereo)




Customer Reviews
Pro Tools D-control  
by Jay Emmett from Cumberland, RI, September 01, 2005

“This product blows away every mixing surface I have ever had the opprtunity to use. Everything is right at your fingertips and having the ability to mount your monitor on the console gives you an advantage no other surface can match. If you like pro tools and are thinking of expanding your control surface this is the upgrade for you. If your looking to spend good money then spend it on...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "Wow! Really! Truly the promise of Pro Tools realized. After about 20 years the neural network of our collective recording minds finally has merged with the neural network of recording technology. Don't understand what this means? Own a D-Control and you will!"
