San Francisco, CA, AES Convention, Booth #701 — Digidesign today announced the D-Command® Producer’s Desk, a stylish, ergonomically functional add-on option for the acclaimed ICON D-Command® and D-Command® ES consoles.

Responding to feedback from users worldwide, the D-Command Producer’s Desk provides a Pro Tools® Custom (QWERTY) keyboard, mouse pad area, USB hub, and space for a computer monitor or note taking, enabling users to perform editing functions on the same surface level as their faders and encoders, and have an optimal space for their monitor. The Producer’s Desk is designed to match the D-Command form factor, and is available in two color schemes: the original blue color for D-Command and a darker scheme for D-Command ES.

“It’s essential for music and post-production professionals to maintain a position in the sweet spot while they’re working,� explains Max Gutnik, Digidesign’s marketing manager for professional products. “The D-Command Producer’s Desk creates a truly ergonomic work environment. By placing the control surface, keyboard, and mouse all within easy reach, and the monitor at a comfortable height and distance, the Producer’s Desk delivers an efficient and comfortable working environment for D-Command users.�
