Digidesign has announced that it is shipping the Digidesign D-Command tactile worksurface, the newest member of the ICON integrated console family. Incorporating much of the same functionality, industrial design, and custom workflow capabilities as the flagship ICON D-Control tactile worksurface, D-Command packs amazing control and ICON-exclusive Pro Tools functionality into a medium-format console at a more affordable price.

“The excitement surrounding D-Command’s debut at the 2005 NAB show was incredible. It stems from the huge success of D-Control, which in its first year has been installed into just about every application that was the mainstay of more traditional mixing consoles,” says Rich Nevens, Digidesign director of worldwide console sales. “With D-Command, more audio professionals than ever are now able to make the switch and benefit from the unique mixing power and functionality of the ICON integrated console environment.”

To introduce D-Command to the world, Digidesign will host a worldwide Mixing with ICON D-Command Tour starting May 9, 2005. Attendees can discover why the Digidesign ICON integrated console environment is revolutionizing professional mixing for music, post, and broadcast production. The tour will demonstrate how combining an intuitive, ergonomic worksurface with the powerful, industry-leading Pro Tools|HD DSP mix engine and a wide range of I/O options gives ICON systems unsurpassed, end-to-end control over audio projects.
