Avid Pro Tools Control Surfaces
Expand your Digidesign D-Command Module with this 16-Fader D-Command Expansion unit. Featuring dedicated, center section panels for EQ and dynamics plug-in editing, as well as per-channel control over many processing functions, routing, and automation modes, D-Command provides operators powerful hands-on command over their projects in a smaller console.
Similar to D-Control, the D-Command worksurface employs an intuitive console layout. The D-Command Main Unit features an easily accessible, central control section with monitoring and communications controls, and includes eight channel faders, which are expandable up to 24 faders via a single 16-channel Fader Module. D-Command’s ergonomic design enables control of multiple session parameters via the channel strips and provides LCD displays, LED rings, and bar-graph meters to facilitate important visual session feedback.
Following the success of the ICON D-Control ES worksurface, Digidesign is excited to introduce the newly updated ICON D-Command® ES worksurface, which features the same stunning color scheme as its larger sibling, but in a compact design. As an aesthetic update to the original D-Command®, D-Command ES provides the same unparalleled Pro Tools|HD® control and integration, but offers updated text and line art on the surface for better visual legibility—especially in low-light environments. The Digidesign ICON D-Command ES worksurface packs amazing Pro Tools® control and ICON- exclusive functionality into a compact, medium-format console, giving customers powerful and efficient hands-on control over any project. Expandable up to 24 faders, D-Command ES features dedicated center sections for editing EQ and Dynamics plug-ins, enabling mixers to make adjustments while monitoring in the “sweet spot.” It also provides per-channel control over many Pro Tools processing functions, routing, and automation modes. Only D-Command ES and other ICON worksurfaces can deliver the kind of Pro Tools integration that professionals demand. Features

The Digidesign D-Control™ Fader Module extends the hands-on control features of D-Control by adding 16 channel strips to the D-Control Main Unit. The ergonomic design of D-Control helps to provide full control from the channel strips with minimal paging while an abundance of LCD displays, LED rings, and bar-graph meters deliver critical visual feedback. Add multiple Fader Modules for up to a total of 80 faders.
Channel Strip
Each channel strip on the D-Control™ Fader Module has identical channel controls, including six touch-sensitive, multi-purpose rotary encoders, each with multicolor LED ring, six-character alphanumeric, multicolor LCD display, and tricolor automation indication LED. The channel strip also features multiple push-buttons, display and mode controls, and a touch-sensitive, motorized fader.
Meter Section
The 32-segment tricolor meters can display track levels, plug-in meters, and other parameters, depending on D-Control metering preferences.
Modifier Keys
Each D-Control Fader Module has four switches in the lower left corner that duplicate the functions of the Pro Tools® computer keyboard modifiers.
