Mix engineers around the world utilize the Avid S6's perfect blend of workflow, ergonomics and versatility to create audio output of the highest quality. For those working in smaller spaces, Avid has taken the award-winning technology of the S6 and streamlined it for the more compact form factor of the S4.
The Avid S4's smaller frame size (3', 4' and 5') doesn't hinder the power of the control surface at all. Instead, engineers can easily command world-class DAW integration, display options, monitoring capabilities and much more from within arm's reach. The control surface opens up a world of opportunity for expansive creative control of stereo, surround and immersive audio.
Avid offers potential S4 owners the choice of selecting from a pre-built system or designing their own custom control surface. Throughout this guide, Vintage King will walk you through these different options, explain each section of the S4 and help you take the next step in selecting your control surface.
Since the control surface made its debut in 2019, Vintage King has helped many recording studios, post-production facilities and educational institutions create the perfect Avid S4 configuration. Our team of Avid experts can tailor a custom S4 that will fit your workflow, studio footprint and budget and help you through the entire process including installation and set-up.

The semi-modular nature of the Avid S4 means that you're able to build out your control surface to fit the way you like to work. Avid enables customers the ability to create a surface with up to three Channel Strip Modules, four Display Modules and up to three other option modules (Attention Knob Modules, Post and/or Joystick). Here is a breakdown of each module that can be installed in a S4 set-up.
As the heart of the S4, the Master Touch Module is your tool for controlling plug-ins, monitoring and more. Take charge of your mix and control parameters with this 12.1” multipoint touchscreen, eight rotary encoders and additional knobs and keys.
Navigating and automating large scale projects is made easy with the Master Automation Module. You'll have full control with a shuttle/jog wheel, focus fader, automation control, numeric keypad and additional keys and switches.
If you're mixing a surround sound or immersive audio project, the Joystick Module is a necessary part of your job. Mix with precision by using this module's dual touch-sensitive joystick and TFT and OLED displays to guide your process.
Avid's S4 Post Module fast tracks the completion of post projects by offering quick switching between recorded tracks and your inputs. The module features two rows of 10 PEC/DIRECT paddles to help make sure your inputs sound identical prior to punching in to record.
The Avid S4 CSM Channel Strip Module gives users the ability to control level, plug-ins and other elements of mixes with eight channel faders, 32 knobs (four per channel) and additional keys and switches. The semi-modular nature of the S4 allows for up to three CSMs to be used in a configuration, which totals up to a 24 fader design.
As an essential element of any S4 configuration, the Attention Knob Module gives users the ability to adjust and edit any number of parameters via eight strips of four top-lit knobs.
Acting as your visual guide to mixing, the Avid S4 Display Module is a high-resolution TFT display that can display channel names, meters, routing, Pro Tools waveforms, master meters and more.
