The Avid VENUE S6L-24D is a premier, touring-grade digital audio control surface engineered for high-end live sound reinforcement, corporate events, and regional broadcast production. Serving as the most compact entry in the flagship D-Series family, the S6L-24D delivers the uncompromised dual-fader-row workflow, comprehensive touchscreen tracking, and physical knob density of its larger siblings, but in a highly streamlined frame optimized for tight front-of-house (FOH) footprints and single-person transport configurations.

Built to handle demanding concert tours and live-to-air feeds, this modular console 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 across 3 distinct modules, plus 2 independent, assignable faders inside the Master Live Module (26 total faders).
• High-Density Control: Includes 64 assignable, touch-sensitive channel knobs (rotary encoders) paired with high-visibility OLED displays and tri-color status indicators for deep parameter manipulation.
• Visual Workflows: Features 3 daylight-readable 12.1-inch touchscreens, split into 2 Channel Touch Modules (CTMs) for instantaneous channel strip metering and 1 central Master Touchscreen (MTS) for master layout and snapshot command.
• 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): 3.6 inches / 15.3 inches (91 mm / 388 mm)
• Width: 38.9 inches (989 mm)
• Depth: 31 inches (787 mm)
• Weight: 119 lbs (54 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-24D 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 pass-through.
