The Avid S6 systems are the latest and most advanced mixer/controllers for controlling Pro Tools|HD audio systems.

With the launch of the S6 controllers, Avid has brought together the best elements from both the previous ICON and System 5 control/mixer surfaces in a new revolutionary modular design. Although the S6 is optimized and built for close integration with Pro Tools, the S6 uses EuCon as a protocol, and it can therefore not only be used together with Pro Tools but also with other DAWs that support this standard.

The S6 is designed to be expandable as the need grows to be able to work with larger mixes and more precise control.

The Avid S6 is built around 2 basic models: the S6 M40 with space for 41 modules and the smaller S6 M10 which holds up to 9 modules. Choose between a pre-configured M10 or M40 frame with the features you need, or configure an M40 yourself from scratch.

Since the S6 can be expanded both horizontally and vertically with different modules, the desk can be configured with the modules that suit your needs and budget here and now, and later expand with more modules as the need arises.

Below is an overview and brief review of the individual parts and modules that can be installed.

Start by choosing either an S6 M40 or S6 M10 Engine. In the pre-configurations, both models contain an S6 Automation module with a 12” touch screen, transport control and dedicated buttons that provide access to control various aspects of a mix, including access to tracks, effects, meters etc. without having to use a mouse. The choice between an M10 or M40 Engine is decisive for how big the desk can be and how many modules there is room for. The M40 is for the larger studios with the possibility of the maximum number of faders and the greatest degree of flexibility. The M10 is for smaller rooms with a smaller budget, or where you want a more compact solution.

Channel Modules Here you can choose the modules which, in number and function, best suit your workflow, from faders and buttons, to control of processors and meters. All modules are easily connected with high-speed Ethernet connections. Whether a preconfigured model suits the need or you want to tailor a mixer yourself, these are the modules you can choose from: S6 Father Module
