For over 20 years, Avid has led the way in mixing innovation, and now it redefines it once again with the Avid S6 Pro Tools Control Surface. Leveraging the best of the industry-leading ICON and System 5 product families in a revolutionary new modular design, S6 delivers superior ergonomics and intelligent studio control, providing an intuitive, immersive experience for the modern sound engineer. And because it’s built on proven technology, trusted by top audio professionals in the most demanding production environments, Avid S6 delivers the performance you need to complete projects faster and deliver the best sounding mixes possible.
Avid S6 Knob Module (4)
Adjust and edit a variety of parameters. The Avid S6 Knob Module provides eight channel strips, each with four multi color top-lit knobs paired with an OLED display for visual feedback, plus navigation switches. Each knob section also offers insert and select switches per channel with color status LEDs. Stack up to two Knob Module rows on an M40 surface or a single row on M10.
Avid S6 Fader Module (4)
Take control of track levels and more. The Avid S6 Fader Module features eight channel strips, each with a motorized fader, dual LED meters (with gain reduction metering), attention key, and mute, solo, select, automation, and other switches with color LEDs. Install up to eight Fader Modules in an M40 surface or up to three in an M10.
Avid S6 Display Module (4)
Get incredible visual insight into your mix. The Avid S6 Display Module displays detailed information and feedback, including channel names, audio meters, routing, groups, DAW affiliation, scrolling Pro Tools waveforms, and more. It features an 8-channel high-resolution TFT display and integrated single board computer. You can even change the display layout to suit your visual preferences, or turn it into a Master Meter Module to keep all Master and Bus tracks visible at all times.
S6 is built to grow with you at every stage of your business—now and in the future. With a first-of-its-kind modular design, you can customize the surface with the modules you need to match your current workflow for the greatest cost efficiency, and scale the surface—horizontally and vertically—as your business grows. Choose a pre-configured S6 M10 or S6 M40 surface with the options you need or, with S6 M40, customize the surface even further with different channel control combinations.
S6 acts and feels like a physical extension of your software, providing a truly intuitive and immersive experience. Turn around projects faster with high-precision editing and mixing control at your fingertips. Quickly access and edit plug-ins, surround panning, and more with the multipoint touchscreen. And see every detail of your mix with unprecedented visual feedback, including waveform scrolling.
Experience the deep DAW control that only Avid can deliver. Pair S6 with Pro Tools and you gain the Avid advantage of faster workflows, extended visual feedback, and unique features to accelerate your efficiency every step of the way. And extend your control to Logic Pro, Nuendo, and other EUCON-enabled DAWs, enabling you to mix projects on multiple workstations simultaneously and switch out sessions in seconds—all from a single control surface.
S6 delivers incredible workflow acceleration, highly responsive handling, and deep DAW integration—all built on proven technology, trusted by top audio professionals in the most demanding production environments. The result: you get the exceptional, dynamic performance you need to deliver your best sounding mix possible—on time, every time.
From top-lit status knobs and the master touchscreen, to monochrome OLEDs throughout the surface and optional high-resolution screens, you get the critical visual insight you need to mix with complete confidence and speed.
With the multipoint master touchscreen, featured on the S6 M40 and M10 core engines, you can quickly view, access, and edit different aspects of your mix—from tracks and plug-ins, to surround panning and metering—without having to mouse through menus.
From recording tracks and assigning and editing plug-ins, to viewing scrolling waveforms (on S6 M40 surfaces with a Display Module), writing automation, recalling snapshots, and more, S6 offers the deep Pro Tools integration that only Avid can provide.
In addition to Pro Tools, you can take control of Apple Logic Pro, Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo, Merging Pyramix, and other EUCON-enabled audio workstations, individually or simultaneously, for maximum flexibility.
S6 features EUCON Ethernet connectivity to communicate deeply and directly with Pro Tools and other popular DAWs. And because the surface is networked, it’s easy to configure, scale, and reconfigure at whim.
Control up to eight EUCON-enabled audio workstations and media applications, simultaneously, anywhere on your network—even systems across the facility—with incredible responsiveness.
All S6 control surfaces include one year of Avid ExpertPlus support with Hardware Coverage, which includes 7x24 access, priority phone support, advance hardware exchange (next-day), complimentary S6 software upgrades, and more to keep you up and running.
Master modules are the central hubs of your S6 surface. All surfaces must include a main engine, which provides touchscreen access and control; you have a choice between two—S6 M40 or S6 M10. The S6 Automation Module complements both, providing controls for transport, automation, and more. Here’s a closer look at these modules:
M40 vs. M10
The engine you choose dictates the total number of modules you can include in your S6 and impacts its overall size and customizability. Choose the high-performance M40 for large-scale productions that require maximum channels, high-resolution metering screens, and customizability, or the more affordable M10 for productions that need to fit into smaller rooms and budgets.
Both feature a tilting 12.1-inch multipoint touchscreen, eight adjacent rotary encoders, and dedicated knobs and keys for monitoring and global control, enabling you to view, access, and edit different aspects of your mix—such as tracks, processing, and metering—without mousing through menus.
