Digidesign Achieves ICON Sales Milestone and Introduces a New ICON Model The AES Convention marks two significant milestones for Digidesign's flagship ICON integrated console. The ICON system's widespread acclaim among audio professionals in commercial music studios, post-production facilities, broadcast outlets, and leading training institutions has resulted in the delivery of over 2,200 ICON systems worldwide since its 2004 debut. Notable ICON installations include London's renowned Pinewood Group, New York's XM/Effanel Music, and the fabled Village Recorder and Sony Pictures in Los Angeles, to name just a few. At the AES Convention, Digidesign unveiled an aesthetic enhancement for its large-format ICON D-Control™ integrated console. The D-Control ES, which takes its place alongside the award-winning ICON D-Control™ and medium-format ICON D-Command®, is stylishly enhanced with a darker color scheme that blends easily with today's modern studio décor. D-Control ES also features updated, higher contrast text and graphics for improved legibility in low light, and a new switch LED color layout for easier visual navigation. Digidesign Unveils Sleek Medium-Format Control Surface for Pro Tools Marking the continued evolution of the mid-format control surface category that Digidesign helped to pioneer seven years ago, the new Digidesign C|24™ is a powerful yet affordable control surface that draws upon the legacy of the acclaimed Digidesign Control|24™ by bringing tactile Pro Tools control to mid-sized professional and advanced project studio owners. Combining an advanced yet intuitive control surface with a full complement of analog inputs and a versatile monitoring section, C|24 is ideal for Pro Tools users looking for a compact solution that is capable enough to command the center of attention in any post-production or music production environment.
