ICON

INTEGRATED CONSOLE ENVIRONMENT

ICON combines all the benefits of a large-format console with the power and flexibility of the industry’s leading high-definition digital audio workstation. In addition to supporting mixes up to 24-bit/192 kHz in up to 7.1 surround, ICON features direct integration with industry-standard Pro Tools® recording and editing software. Plus, with the wealth of Digidesign Development Partners™ plug-ins and effects controllable via the D-Control and D-Command tactile worksurfaces, mix engineers have a wide range of signal processing options to create any sound they are after.

Unlike typical digital consoles, ICON can be customized for rapid arrangement and access to every session element, independent of the on-screen Pro Tools software interface. Operators can freely build mixer configurations for specific tasks and save them as templates, dramatically increasing workflow efficiency. Plus, with full recall of every parameter within a project, even the most complex sessions can be switched out in minutes.

All-new advanced automation features such as Match, Join, and Glide further streamline the mixing process, allowing operators to focus on their mix without having to worry about managing automation or missing a move. What’s more, all automation data stays tied to its corresponding audio, enabling mixers to move audio without losing any automation data. ICON with D-Control also features an inline console monitor emulation mode for control of input and monitor levels from a single channel strip.

ICON’s modular architecture is flexible enough to accommodate the needs of any music or post production facility. Expandable to 80 physical faders, the flagship D-Control worksurface is an impressive mixing centerpiece for facilities with larger rooms, offering operators the utmost tactile control over their projects. The more compact D-Command worksurface, expandable to 24 physical faders, is an excellent option for single-operator facilities with smaller rooms or budgets.

ICON’s Pro Tools|HD Accel mixing and processing engine is equally modular, allowing facilities to scale the system as needs dictate. Additional options for ICON include expandable analog and digital I/O, integrated remote controllable mic preamps, seamless Avid® picture support, and comprehensive synchronization, machine control, session interchange, and delivery options.
