AVID Digidesign PRO CONTROL Console Audio Processor ProControl, Digidesign’s dedicated mixing and editing controller for TDM-equipped Pro Tools systems.Its dedicated controls allow easy navigation through Pro Tools functions, including recording, mixing, editing, grouping, Plug-In control, and automation. Through the use of motorized faders and data encoders (rotary knobs), automation and mixing can be handily performed and given visual reference. Controller movements from ProControl are immediately reflected in Pro Tools on-screen controls, and vice versa. Patented DigiFader 100mm touch-sensi
At A$299, this Digidesign Pro Control processor sits just above the median of A$228 from recent AUD listings, making it a fair price rather than a bargain, though it still beats the typical US-market asking of roughly A$1,200 for the main unit. You’re not getting a steal, but you’re avoiding the steep premium seen overseas for this legacy control surface.
The Pro Control remains well-regarded for its tactile 8-fader layout, seamless Pro Tools integration, and robust build, offering genuine workflow speed that touchscreens can’t match. At this fair price, it’s a solid buy for Pro Tools users seeking original hardware control, especially if the listing includes the power supply and serial cable—original-owner condition adds meaningful upside given the rarity of intact units today.

Digidesign was founded in 1984 in California by Peter Gotcher and Evan Brooks. It began as a pro-audio technology company, first developing tools for sound measurement and then moving into digital recording and editing, where it became closely associated with the rise of Pro Tools.
Its product focus was never the classic hi-fi categories of amplifiers, speakers, turntables, or headphones. Digidesign is best known for professional audio software, digital audio workstations, and recording interfaces, especially Pro Tools and related studio hardware such as the Mbox and HD Native line.
In market terms, Digidesign is a professional-studio brand rather than a consumer hi-fi label. Its reputation is strongest in recording, mixing, and post-production, where Pro Tools became an industry standard; for hi-fi buyers, it is more of a niche, legacy pro-audio name than a brand for home listening gear. After Avid absorbed the company, the Digidesign name was phased out, so much of its relevance today is historical and collector-oriented.
