The Avid VENUE S6L-24C is a premier, touring-grade digital audio control surface engineered for live sound reinforcement, corporate events, houses of worship, and compact broadcast environments. Developed as a highly efficient, space-saving alternative in the flagship S6L lineup, the S6L-24C strips away the dual-fader-row depth of the D-Series frames. Instead, it utilizes a streamlined single-fader-row layout, making it the ultimate solution for tight front-of-house (FOH) theater booths, regional touring racks, and applications where physical console depth is strictly limited.

Built to deliver uncompromised processing power in a compact profile, this modular surface integrates high-density visual monitoring, direct AAX and Waves plugin processing, and robust Ethernet AVB transport. This system includes 3 Years of Avid Elite Live Support, granting your clients 24/7 priority global phone access to expert live sound technicians and rapid next-day priority hardware advance-replacement parts shipping.

Key Features

• Physical Interface: Equipped with 24 channel faders arranged in a streamlined, ultra-accessible single-fader-row layout, plus 2 independent faders inside the Master Live Module (26 total faders).
• Tactile Control Density: Includes 32 assignable, touch-sensitive channel knobs (rotary encoders) across 1 Channel Knob Module, paired with high-visibility OLED displays and tri-color status indicators for deep parameter manipulation.
• Visual Workflows: Features 1 integrated, daylight-readable 12.1-inch central Master Touchscreen (MTS) for master layout controls, snapshot commands, matrix routing, and comprehensive system oversight.
• Local and Ancillary I/O: Built-in surface connections feature 8 XLR mic/line inputs (+48V), 8 XLR analog outputs, 4 pairs of stereo AES/EBU digital I/O, 2 independent TRS headphone jacks, alongside DVI-D video out, GPIO, and MIDI connections.
• Pro Tools & Record Tracking: Direct recording and playback up to 128 tracks over Ethernet AVB, enabling instantaneous Virtual Soundchecks to streamline setup times at front of house.
• Dual-Operator Mixing: Supports designated multi-fader zone configurations, allowing a single surface to split and run Front of House (FOH) and monitors simultaneously under separate engineers.
• Fail-Safe Operation: Outfitted with dual-redundant, internal hot-swappable power supply units to guarantee zero downtime during critical live broadcasts or event operations.

Technical Specifications

• Height (Front / Rear): 3.3 inches / 13.9 inches (83 mm / 352 mm)
• Width: 38.9 inches (989 mm)
• Depth: 25.4 inches (646 mm) (Optimized compact footprint vs. the 31-inch depth of D-Series models)
• Weight: 87 lbs (39.5 kg)
• Network Protocol: Ethernet AVB (via etherCON copper or SFP fiber connections)
• Console File Compatibility: 100% interoperability and show file movement across the entire S6L lineup.

System Operational Note: The Avid VENUE S6L-24C functions strictly as a modular control surface controller. It requires an external E6L Processing Engine and a Stage I/O Rack (each sold separately) for complete system processing and audio
