VENUE | E6L-192 Engine with 3 Year Elite Live Support - Product - Midwich

The Avid VENUE E6L-192 is the flagship, real-time central processing engine engineered to anchor the largest and most complex configurations within the Avid VENUE | S6L modular live sound platform. Operating as the ultimate physical "brain" of the ecosystem, the E6L-192 combines an uncompromised real-time routing sub-system with massive onboard HDX-powered DSP plugin processing. This dual-engine architecture guarantees absolute structural stability and zero round-trip latency to external servers under full load.

Purpose-built for massive stadium concert tours, complex theater productions, large-scale houses of worship, and mission-critical premium broadcast events, the E6L-192 provides unrivaled channel counts, robust delay compensation, and native Pro Tools recording over Ethernet AVB. Backed by a 3-Year Avid Elite Live Support plan, this processing engine guarantees continuous coverage, minimal downtime, and expert field backup.

Key Features

• Massive Mixing Throughput: Seamlessly supports up to 192 simultaneous input processing channels and 96 independent mix buses plus LCR master routing.
• Deep Plugin Processing: Outfitted with a factory-installed HDX-192 DSP expansion card to natively host up to 200 internal, 64-bit AAX DSP plugin rack slots.
• Expanded Matrix Engine: Features a comprehensive 24 x 24 matrix configuration alongside 24 VCAs and 2 independent stereo solo monitoring buses.
• Hardware Upgrade Scalability: Built with 4 internal card expansion slots to easily scale system audio transport formats and option card combinations over time. (Supports hosting up to 4 HDX-192 DSP cards simultaneously for maximum processing power).
• Pro Tools & Record Tracking: Supports native, bi-directional recording and playback of up to 128 channels of audio directly over Ethernet AVB without specialized external interface hardware.

System Operational Note: The Avid VENUE E6L-192 functions strictly as a centralized processing engine. It requires a compatible external VENUE S6L Control Surface frame (such as the S6L-48D, -32D, -24D, -24C, or -16C) and at least one Stage I/O Rack (each sold separately) for complete user command and stage audio pass-through.
