AVID Digidesign 003 console Audio Processor AVID DIGIDESIGN 003 Console good condition, (used with ProTools 12hd on Windows 10) with original carton. please google for info, too much too list! 490x490x130 8kgs Condition: Mint Payment Method: Cash,eft,Paypal Region/State: (WA) Western Australia/Australia By smart 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $399 Date: June 30, 20241 yr
At A$399, this AVID Digidesign 003 Console asking price is ambitious, sitting well above the median of A$165 and the 75th percentile of A$197 for comparable used AUD listings; it’s roughly double the top quartile and significantly higher than the typical $97–$218 (≈A$150–A$340) range seen globally for the 003 Console. While the listing notes “like_new” condition and includes the original carton, the price doesn’t reflect a bargain by local market standards.
That said, the 003 Console remains a well-regarded control surface with improved mic preamps, word clock I/O, and extra monitor outputs over the 002, making it a solid hub for home or project studios running Pro Tools up to version 12.7.1. If you’re committed to the 003 ecosystem and value its integrated mixer feel, this could be a worthwhile buy at a fairer price—ideally under A$200—but at A$399, it’s only justified if the condition is genuinely exceptional and accessories are complete.

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.
