The Digidesign® Icon is an integrated console environment featuring the all-new D-Control™ tactile worksurface, Pro Tools®|HD Accel as its core DSP engine, and modular HD audio interfaces for analog and digital I/O.

The first truly integrated console solution of its kind, Icon empowers operators to accomplish every aspect of a project — recording, editing, mixing, and processing — complete with integrated video and delivery. ICON provides unmatched control with a fully automated, completely recallable, total production system.

Icon breaks new ground in providing full command of the mixing and production process. In addition to supporting mixes up to 24-bit/192 kHz in 7.1 surround, Icon is backed by industry-standard Pro Tools recording and editing software. Every element of a session is recallable, enabling operators to switch out even the most complex sessions in minutes. The integrated console features touch-sensitive controls, a wide range of visual mixing feedback, dedicated center section and per-channel control over all processing functions and routing, global automation capabilities, and full studio and control room monitoring.

Icon is a completely custom-configurable audio production environment, rather than simply a typical digital console. Options include expandable analog and digital I/O, integrated remote mic preamps, industry-leading Development Partner effects processing plug-ins and software options, seamless Avid picture support, and comprehensive synchronization and machine control options.
