Essential Information About the Icon V1-X Extension Control Surface
- 8-channel extension for your V1-M, stackable up to 64 channels depending on your DAW.
- 8 motorized 12-bit touch faders for precise and smooth automation writing.
- Dual display per channel with a 2" TFT screen for parameters and a 1.14" TFT for additional info, plus an LED level meter bridge.
- Universal compatibility via Mackie Control Universal and HUI with major digital audio workstations.
The Official Extension for the V1-M for "Large Format" Mixing
The V1-X is designed as the direct companion to the V1-M: it inherits its ergonomics and build quality to instantly expand your control surface. By chaining up to seven V1-X units around a V1-M, you gain access to a mixing environment of up to 64 channels without changing your workflow habits.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for sound engineers, creators, and streamers who want to manage large projects without constant "banking." Whether you are in the studio, post-production control room, or live setup, the motorized faders, quick selections (record, solo, mute), and dedicated encoders speed up editing, automation, and stem balancing.
Ergonomics, Visual Feedback, and Execution Speed
Each channel strip features a 12-bit motorized touch fader for precise and repeatable movements. The dual TFT display clearly shows track names and parameter values, while the LED bridge provides immediate level reading. The encoders and illuminated buttons per channel simplify essential tasks: arm, isolate, mute, and select-all housed in a sturdy metal chassis designed to last.
Supported Protocols and DAWs
Thanks to the Mackie Control Universal and HUI protocols, the V1-X integrates natively with most environments: Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase/Nuendo, Studio One, Reaper, FL Studio, Reason, Audition, Digital Performer, Bitwig, Cakewalk, Mixbus 32C, Luna, Samplitude, Tracktion Waveform, and more. This provides immediate mapping of key functions and a minimal learning curve.
