SAE Institute London completes ICON installation



30.1.2006 – London, UK. SAE London has now completed the installation of its Digidesign ICON studio in a newly formed control and live room. Well received by the UK and audio industry worldwide, the ICON proves to be an important training tool for students preparing to work in the audio industry. SAE Institute London is the only school in the UK to provide training on the ICON console.

The Digidesign ICON is a control surface for Digidesign ProTools that provides intuitive operation inline with other large format consoles. It provides an unprecedented level of control for ProTools allowing for intuitive mixing whilst giving access to the full power and flexibility of ProToolsHD.

SAE has installed a 32 Fader Icon console, which is based on the flagship D-Control tactile work surface. The studio features an HD2 ProTools system using an Apple PowerMac Dual G5 as well as Focusrite and SPL mic preamps and Bluesky monitors. Students will use the ICON for their music productions and are able to move their projects between 4 studios: ICON, SSL G+, Neve VR and SSL AWS.
