AVID CONNECT – Avid® (Nasdaq:AVID), the
platform that powers media and entertainment, today announced a
massive expansion to its award-winning Avid VENUE™ | S6L family of
live sound systems, with three new control surfaces, a new engine,
and two new I/O racks – all on a unified platform. Offering
unmatched modularity, scalability and flexibility to meet any size
production, space, or budget requirement, VENUE | S6L is the
industry’s only live sound platform with 100% software, hardware,
and show file compatibility across all system components. Unveiled
today at the fifth annual Avid Connect, the new VENUE | S6L
components will be demonstrated at the NAB Show in Avid’s booth
#SU801, April 9-12, and at Prolight + Sound in Avid’s booth #G91 in
Hall 3.1, April 10-13.
Avid VENUE | S6L is a modular live sound mixing system that
delivers best-in-class functionality for a range of applications
including front-of-house, monitor, broadcast, and theater. With
this new release, VENUE | S6L now offers more component options to
configure and scale a system to meet any production, space, or
budget requirement. Customers can take control of their mix with a
choice of five surfaces—including the new S6L-48D, S6L-24C, and
S6L-16C—that offer from 16 to 48 faders. These control surfaces can
be paired with a choice of three engines, including the new
E6L-112, and can be connected to any combination of S6L’s four I/O
rack options, including the new Stage 32 and Local 16.
VENUE | S6L modularity enables engineers to scale systems up or
down to meet their changing requirements for control, processing,
and I/O. All systems share 100% VENUE show file compatibility and
sound quality, regardless of the system configuration. And with
S6L’s True Gain technology, engineers can easily share I/O racks
across multiple networked S6L systems without any loss of audio
quality, reducing I/O and cable requirements, set-up time, and
transportation costs.
VENUE | S6L family features the same VENUE software and
workflows across every model, presenting engineers with an
identical user experience and total familiarity regardless of
system configuration. This “learn once, use everywhere” design
eliminates complexity, allowing engineers to focus on helping their
artist to deliver the best performance possible.
“The new Avid VENUE | S6L family makes mixing and recording any
live production easy, delivering the unmatched power and
flexibility artists and engineers rely on,” said Dana Ruzicka,
Chief Product Officer at Avid. “With 100% software, hardware, and
show file compatibility and interoperability across the entire
line, engineers can create the perfect system for any application,
and scale the biggest stadium shows down to the smallest
after-hours club appearance with ease. And because everything is on
the same platform, it enables us to quickly bring new features and
components to market.”
