The main difference is that the 003 is a much ‘squarer’ unit. The actual footprint, however, isn’t that much larger than the 002 at all the overall width is a mere 6mm wider.
Moreover, since Digidesign released the Icon and D-Command systems, the dark and brooding aesthetic – a hangover from the early Digidays – has been completely abandoned.Īt first glance, the 003 seems a lot larger than its predecessor, an impression that stems mainly from the extensive array of extra controls the 003 offers.

It’s a far more professional looking unit than the 002, having an altogether more sophisticated ‘production surface’ air about it, rather than the 002’s vaguely sci-fi vibe. I reckon Digidesign has done a really great job with the 003.
There are more features and greater monitoring control on the 003 than on any other dedicated LE system. The 003 takes the Digi 002 console concept and runs with it, offering a new control surface that’s designed to re-connect LE users with tactile mixing tasks and liberate them to some extent from the drudgery of mouse-based mixing. The Digidesign 003 console is unquestionably the unit that boasts the most significant changes of the two in this major LE release (I found the 003 Rack sonically superior to its predecessor but vaguely disappointing in terms of new and expanded features). Last issue we managed to rope in a just-out-of-the-oven Digidesign 003 Rack for appraisal, pending the arrival of the star of this review – the control-surface endowed 003. A more professional feel, and a jog wheel… AT puts the new 003 through its paces.
