Page 9: Introduction
NTRODUCTION Welcome to the new generation of live performance mixing ! The Allen & Heath icon SERIES combines the established principles of audio mixing with state-of-the-art digital electronics and control technology to bring you a revolutionary new set of live sound tools more powerful and yet easier to use than traditional analogue mixers. -
Page 10: Features
EATURES • 10 Inputs on 8 channel strips • 6 Mono channels with XLR mic and jack line inputs • Global +48V microphone phantom powering for CH1 to 6 • 2 Stereo channels with XLR mic and jack+phono line inputs •... -
Page 11: Configuration
ONFIGURATION The icon provides 6 mono and 2 dual stereo channels. The 6 mono channels accept either a microphone or a line level signal. The microphone inputs are balanced XLR with globally switched +48V phantom powering. The line inputs are balanced 3-pole TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) phone jack and can accept balanced or unbalanced signals. -
Page 12: Digital Mixing
IGITAL IXING Mixing audio signals in the digital domain provides icon with its powerful processing tools, programmability and sonic clarity well beyond the capability of traditional analog mixing. However, no additional expertise or equipment is required for operation. The audio signals enter and leave in standard analog format, and the usual familiar controls are presented. -
Page 13: Equalisation
QUALISATION The equaliser (EQ) is one of the most important signal processors in live sound mixing. It allows the tonal response of the signal to be precisely adjusted to enhance selected frequencies, for example to brighten up a dull guitar sound, or to deal with problems such as acoustic feedback and instrument resonance. -
Page 14: The Performance Memory System
ERFORMANCE EMORY YSTEM The icon is a programmable memory mixer. This lets you accurately recall previous settings without having to manually reset every control. The memory system is structured specifically for live performance. The memories also apply in theatre where scenes can be sequenced according to a cue sheet, or in multi-function venues such as clubs, schools and houses of worship where settings change according to event or user. -
Page 15: Installation
NSTALLATION The icon can be used either free standing or installed in a rack. If it is to be frequently transported we recommend that it is carried in a suitable flight case. Although very compact, consideration must be given to the weight when installing or handling the product. The DP1000 includes a power amplifier which necessitates the inclusion of heavy power components. -

Page 25: Mono Line Input
LINE I NPUT Channels 1 to 6 each include a balanced line input on 3-pole TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve) ¼” phone jack. This accepts line level signals of -31dBu to +16dBu on either balanced 3-pole jacks or unbalanced 2-pole jacks. Unplug the microphone input if you want to use the line input. -
Page 26: Mono Output
UTPUTS The console outputs are available on 3-pole TRS impedance balanced ¼” phone jacks. This means that a 3 wire connection is used with signal hot (+), IMPEDANCE BALANCED signal cold (-) and ground. Signal hot and cold are at the same impedance and therefore balanced to reject any interference picked up on the cable. -
Page 27: Fb Output
FB O UTPUT Provides a nominal 0dBu line level FB (Foldback) mix. This is affected by the FB master fader but not by the selected AB output configuration. The term ‘foldback’ is used because it folds back (returns) the required mix to a loudspeaker positioned near the performers on stage usually so that they can hear their own vocals and a selection of instruments and backing tracks. -

Page 42: Live Setup - Stereo Mode
– MALL ETUP STEREO MODE In this example three musicians perform using a sophisticated MIDI based stereo system without monitors, typical of many small venues. The sources and built in effects combine to produce a full stereo sound. The output AB mode is configured for L-R. The guitars are shown routed through the musicians favourite stereo effects processors. -
Page 43: Live Setup
ARGE ETUP The following diagrams illustrate how the icon can be used to drive additional amplifiers where more loudspeakers and power are required. The L and R jack outputs can be plugged into a graphic equaliser and amplifier to drive a front-of-house stereo speaker system while the built-in amplifier is configured to provide two foldback monitors from the FB and AUX mixes. -
Page 44: Heatre Etup
HEATRE ETUP Here the icon is shown in a theatre setup typical of a small drama production. The L, R and M jack outputs feed external amplifiers to drive the front-of-house left, centre and right loudspeakers. The built in AB amplifiers (main outputs) are configured for AUX-FB. FB drives an on-stage monitor speaker so that the performers can hear any backing music or sound effects. -

icon NALOGUE QUIVALENT It may be helpful to understand the full capability of icon by comparing it to its analogue equivalent. The following drawing shows the controls arranged in conventional format. Each function has its own control. However, a long channel strip results because of the amount of processing control available.
