Overview

Achieve pristine sound through high-performance I/O 
Scale your system with as little or as much I/O as you need with Avid's VENUE Stage 64 rack, featuring a new high-performance preamp design that delivers the best possible sound quality throughout the signal path, with incredible clarity, warmth, and presence. Users can stock each Avid Stage 64 with up to 64 inputs and 32 outputs, selecting from a variety of analog and digital option cards. The Avid S6L control surface offers additional I/O, including 8x8 analog I/O, 8x8 AES I/O (4 pairs), two headphone outputs, and ancillary I/O such as MIDI and GPIO for added flexibility.

Configure your ideal system
With its modular, scalable system architecture, you can freely mix and match your choice of control surface, engine, and I/O to support practically any live sound application. Choose from three control surface configurations to meet your needs, and select the ideal E6L engine to support your channel count requirements. Ramp up your plug-in processing power by adding more HDX cards to your engine (up to a maximum of four), and go from a maximum 64 mic inputs with one Stage 64 rack up to hundreds of I/O channels by connecting additional boxes.
