Avid Venue is a revolutionary line of digital live sound systems that deliver amazing sound quality, reliability, flexibility, and ease-of-use.  Designed with direct input from leading mix engineers, Venue brings innovation and intuitive workflows to live mixing, answering the complexities of today’s live sound applications while empowering efficiency and creativity.  From studio-grade plug-in processing support and seamless Pro Tools® integration to customizable options that fit a variety of interface needs, Venue is shaping the future of live sound, and is the choice for concert tours, clubs, houses of worship, theaters, and broadcast events.

Amazing Sound Clarity
Achieve studio-quality sound, with optimal clarity and smoothness, in live sound environments thanks to studio-grade mic preamps, pristine digital audio conversion, and high-quality processing.

Rock-Solid Reliability
The live environment is unpredictable. That’s why all Venue systems are built to withstand the rigors of the road and designed to circumvent potential hazards for total peace of mind.

Complete Ease of Use
From consoles that give you familiar functionality, to software that’s simple to use, you gain great efficiency so you can spend more time exploring your creativity.

Flexibility for Your Needs
Whether you need more power, I/O, or faders, or want to integrate personal monitoring and/or Pro Tools recording, there’s an option to meet your needs.

The Sound of the Studio, Live
With Venue, recording artists can experience the same sound that inspired them in the studio on stage, thanks to direct Pro Tools plug-in support.

Direct Connection to Pro Tools
Get the most streamlined, economical approach to integrating Pro Tools recording and playback into your live environment with an option card — no additional interfaces required.

Save Time with Virtual Soundcheck
Fine-tune mixes based on previous live recordings. With Pro Tools and Virtual Soundcheck, you can EQ the room, set up snapshots, and more — without the band.

Complete Scalability
Because all Venue systems operate on the same software platform, you can swap out individual Venue components to re-scale your system as your needs change.

Total Show File Portability
Never rebuild show files or chart settings again when you change systems. With Venue, you can copy show files to a USB key for use on any Venue system.
