The ultra-compact Avid S3L System offers incredible sound, power, and versatility for the stage and studio.
The world of live sound continues to shift, as more professionals leave their analog mixing consoles and processors behind and adopt an all-digital workflow. But whether you’re mixing in the digital domain or straddling the fence between analog and digital, there are many ongoing challenges:
• Shows are growing more complex, with greater channel and routing requirements
• The demand for studio-quality live recordings is soaring as a revenue generator
• Setups can vary greatly with each performance set, with little changeover time
Avid’s live sound systems have been #1 in concert touring for years, as they address the challenges above. But the company recognized that those who mix in smaller venues—such as in a club, house of worship, theater, or conference—have additional needs. To get a better understanding of their challenges and workflows, Avid met with numerous live sound professionals from diverse backgrounds to see how it could evolve its current successful technology into something even more revolutionary.
DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS—COMMON GOALS
Sound engineers who tour the club circuit or work in corporate AV asked for a powerful yet compact and affordable system that can be easily carried and transported in a car or bus. Those in house of worship, club, and theater sound wanted a more flexible system that quickly and easily scales to accommodate a wide range of performance setups—with simplicity that doesn’t hinder visiting mixers and volunteers. And they requested a system that makes recording easy, so they can immediately make their mixes available to clients and audiences. These are the reasons why Avid designed Avid S3L, a compact,
modular, networked live sound system that offers the performance, sound quality, and features that countless live sound professionals have come to rely on in a system that’s built for the future.
