Avid VENUE | S6L Now Shipping

The Avid VENUE | S6L live sound system is now shipping, the company has announced. The system is powered by Avid Everywhere, and is integrated with Pro Tools. It also functions as the perfect front-end to the Avid MediaCentral Platform, the end-to-end media management and distribution platform.

VENUE | S6L is a fully modular, scalable live sound mixing system suitable for a range of live sound mixing applications, including front-of-house, monitor, broadcast and theatre. Featuring the VENUE | E6L engine, VENUE | S6L can handle large channel and plug-in counts at the lowest possible latency. It also ensures the highest sound quality, with all processing at 96 kHz, while support for higher sample rates is possible due to the processing power available.

The system allows professionals to achieve better sounding mixes more efficiently, due to the S6L console's modern touchscreen workflows, ergonomics, and visual feedback that provides immediate, intelligent control. It offers greater onboard plug-in processing than previously available, providing engineers with same sound processors used in countless studios, fully integrated to deliver responsive control. Seamless Pro Tools integration provides streamlined recording and playback functionality without the need for a separate audio interface. VENUE | S6L is a networked system and can be customised to meet the needs and budget of any professional production.

It is powered by the same VENUE software as other Avid live sound systems.
