Avid Pro Tools | Dock EUCON Control Surface

Avid Pro Tools | Dock EUCON Control Surface

For South African Pro Tools users who want hands-on control without a full mixing console, the Pro Tools Dock from Marshall Music bridges the gap between touchscreen convenience and tactile control. Designed as a EUCON-aware control surface that pairs with Avid’s free Pro Tools Control app on iPad, the Dock combines a motorized fader, multiple encoders, and a touchscreen cradle into one compact, desk-friendly unit.

What the Pro Tools Dock Control Surface Offers

At the centre of the Pro Tools Dock control surface is a single touch-sensitive, motorized “attention” fader with a 10-segment meter offering both pre- and post-fade metering, giving you precise, tactile control over whichever channel you’re focused on. Surrounding it are 9 encoders — 8 push-top, touch-sensitive channel encoders plus a dedicated monitoring control encoder — along with 32 hardware buttons covering mode selection and key functions.

In addition, 16 soft keys and 2 touch strips extend control further, while transport controls and an aluminum jog wheel make navigating sessions, scrubbing audio, and triggering playback feel natural and immediate. Because the Dock is built around an iPad cradle running the Pro Tools Control app, you get the best of both worlds: a high-resolution touchscreen for browsing, selecting, and navigating, combined with physical controls for mixing moves that benefit from real tactile feedback.

Connectivity is straightforward, with Ethernet for EUCON communication with your Pro Tools system, a USB 2.0 port to keep your iPad charged during sessions, a footswitch input for hands-free punch recording, and a Kensington lock slot for securing the unit in shared studio spaces. At just 4.2 lbs and compact dimensions, it sits comfortably on any desktop without crowding your monitors or keyboard.

Whether you’re mixing, editing, or tracking, the Pro Tools Dock control surface gives you faster, more intuitive control over your sessions than a mouse and keyboard alone. Order yours today from Marshall Music, South Africa’s home for Avid Pro Tools gear.
