Avid presents the VENUE | S6L-16C-144, part of their exceptional VENUE | S6L series of modular and scalable Professional Live Sound mixing systems. It's comprised of the S6L-16C Control Surface, the E6L-144 Engine, and the Stage 64 (48x8) I/O module.
VENUE | S6L-16C Control Surface
The easiest entry into the VENUE | S6L series features all the hallmarks of VENUE in a compact control surface that delivers powerful performance in a portable solution for tighter spaces and budgets. It's a 16-fader control surface that's ultra-portable, yet expansive in its capabilities. Ideal for corporate events and live applications where space is at a premium.
VENUE | E6L-144 Engine
An extraordinary processing engine that's at the heart of mid-level Avid VENUE | S6L systems. It features up to 144 input channels, along with 64 +LCR, 16 x 16 matrix, and more. But don't let the price-point lull you into believing it's not exceptionally powerful. It's designed to work seamlessly with all VENUE | S6L gear, and when it's coupled with the S6L-24C control surface, it should prove itself a terrific solution for current Profile or Mix Rack users who want to move on up to VENUE | S6L system.
Stage 64 (48x8) I/O Module
With the Stage 64, you can connect up to 64 analog, digital, and/or Dante inputs in a single rack unit that provides maximum I/O flexibility, offering support for the largest productions. This particular version includes 48 analog inputs x 8 analog outputs and more (see below).
