The next stage in live sound

Mix and record live productions of any size with ease. Avid VENUE | S6L delivers the unmatched processing power and sound clarity artists and engineers rely on to present the best show possible. From direct AAX and Waves plugin support and 128 tracks of Pro Tools recording, to full system modularity and 300+ processing channels, the S6L unified platform gives you the mixing efficiency, creativity, and flexibility you need to meet the demands of any gig. And now with its newly expanded line of five control surfaces, three engines, and four I/O racks to choose from—with 100% hardware, software, and show file compatibility across all—it’s easy to configure and scale the perfect system for your needs.

S6L control surface provides extensive mix control

VENUE | S6L-16C

Get the easiest entry into VENUE | S6L with a 16-fader control surface that’s ultra-portable, but expansive in its capabilities. It’s ideal for corporate events and live applications where space is tight.

  • 16 channel faders across 1 Channel Fader Module, plus 2 assignable faders in the Master Live Module
  • 32 assignable channel knobs (encoders) across 1 Channel Knob Module
  • 1 Master Live Module (provides control over global system parameters, such as channel banking, snapshots, and monitoring)
  • Local analog I/O and ancillary I/O, including ECx for remote control and DVI for connecting an external monitor (sold separately) for VENUE software display

Mix, match, and expand your system
With its ultra-scalable modular system architecture, the VENUE | S6L lets you mix and match your choice of control surfaces, engines, and I/O to support virtually any live sound application. You get 12 I/O card slots, two Ethernet AVB ports, and dual MADI outputs, giving you a direct split of all 64 inputs for a separate monitor mixer. You can add up to four HDX DSP expansion cards for more plug-in processing power, a Thunderbolt card to capitalize on the speed and high channel count of Thunderbolt connectivity, or a Dante card for compatibility with a multitude of sound reinforcement devices. You can connect several Stage 64 racks together for hundreds of I/O channels, or you can use its card slots to add a combination of analog and digital I/O, networked audio operations, or direct integration of your Aviom personal monitor system.

Choose Your Engine

  • E6L-144 Get extraordinary processing power and support for up to 144 input channels in a high-performance engine that's ideal for mid-size live productions.
  • E6L-112 Get the power and performance you need to handle any small to mid-size live production in a more affordable engine that supports up to 112 input channels.
  • E6L-112 (Stage 16) If you don't need or have the room for the Stage 64 rack, go compact and connect up to 16 inputs for small live productions or expand or distribute I/O across any performance space with this I/O Rack.

Harness the power of VENUE live production software
The brain behind all of E6L's processing muscle is the VENUE live production software. If you're new to mixing with VENUE, you'll find that its straightforward tabbed-page architecture lets you navigate quickly and easily through the pages essential for routing and mixing. If you're already familiar with VENUE software, there's virtually no learning curve with the S6L system thanks to Avid's dedication to making your mix experience as uncomplicated as possible. And with increased-visibility updates to the interface, it's just as easy to mix an outdoor music festival in the full sun as it is inside a darkened theater. On top of that, VENUE software offers seamless integration with Pro Tools, providing you with incredibly powerful live recording capabilities. In fact, VENUE software automatically creates a Pro Tools session from your current VENUE show file, complete with all track names and patching, giving you simultaneous control over your live mixing and recording rigs.

A wealth of plug-in processing power
When you mix on a VENUE | S6L system, you have access to the same effects plug-ins that are used in the world's top recording studios. And you can use lots of them! Thanks to the S6L's HDX-powered DSPs, you've got enough processing power to polish and fine-tune each and every channel of your mix to perfection. Compatible with both Avid and third-party 64-bit AAX DSP plug-ins, the S6L ensures that you have an amazingly vast number of choices for effects and sound processing.

Massive mix bus capacity for powerful monitoring
Thanks to its massive mix bus capacity, the VENUE | S6L system is able to handle dozens of stereo in-ear monitor mixes, wedge mixes, and backline mixes without breaking a sweat, all while providing immediate one-touch access to any mix on its faders. You get two independent stereo solo buses that are assignable to any physical output, so you can easily connect it to a cue belt pack and/or listen wedge. You also get two built-in headphone jacks on the S6L control surface.
