Avid S1

Mix big in any space

Get the unparalleled speed, rich visual feedback, and software integration of Avid’s high-end consoles in a slimline surface that’s an easy fit for any space or budget. Avid S1 gives you deep hands-on control of your favorite audio and video software and, together with the free Pro Tools | Control app for iPad, provides great ergonomic efficiency, easy touch workflows, and S6-style metering and processing views, so you can navigate large sessions quickly, mix more intuitively, and turn around better sounding mixes fast.

Creating great-sounding music can be a challenge when you’re working with just a mouse and keyboard. Avid S1 gives you the hands-on speed, precision, and software integration music creators and mixers need to turn around better sounding mixes faster. All in a portable and affordable slimline surface that works with multiple DAWs and fits easily in any studio space and budget. From recording and editing tracks, to mixing and monitoring in stereo or surround, S1 provides the comprehensive control and visual feedback to accelerate any music workflow.

As the demand for new content continues to increase, audio post-production facilities are often shuttling multiple projects through different mix rooms to stay on deadline. Avid S1 provides the hands-on sound recording, editing, and surround mixing capabilities of bigger consoles in a much smaller footprint, enabling you to outfit any room in your facility for production. You get the deep DAW integration and flexibility only Avid provides in a versatile control surface designed for fast project turnaround. Plus, its small price makes it an easy choice for freelance sound editors and mixers.

When it comes to editing video, sound is half the picture. Avid S1 provides the hands-on control you need to not only navigate large video projects quickly, but also complete sound editing and mixing tasks with greater speed and precision than working with a mouse and keyboard. Get fast access to a host of Media Composer, Premiere Pro, and other video and audio software functions from the surface. And create higher quality soundtracks faster—in stereo or surround—with a versatile and affordable slimline surface that fits easily between your display and keyboard.

Mix big on a smaller scale

While Avid S1 fits easily between your display and keyboard, it packs a lot of mixing power into its small surface. From motorized faders and knobs that respond to your touch, to fast-access touchscreen workflows and Soft Keys that enable you to perform complex tasks with a single press, S1 provides the speed and versatility to accelerate any music, audio post, or video project.

Get unmatched software integration

S1 is powered by EUCON, Avid’s high-speed Ethernet control protocol that delivers deep hardware/software integration, giving you full touch and tactile access to a host of Avid and third- party software functions and controls. You can even switch between multiple applications—and workstations—at the touch of a button, providing the most fluid editing and mixing experience.

Gain extensive insight into your mix

S1 not only features high-resolution OLED displays, it integrates with the free Pro Tools | Control iPad app, providing rich visual feedback to enhance your workflow. From track names, parameter values, and automation, to S6-style monitoring, metering, and channel processing views, you get the comprehensive feedback of a high-end console in a versatile surface for the budget-minded.

Scale the surface to your needs

Need more faders, Soft Keys, and/or transport controls? Connect multiple S1 units together to create an extended, fully integrated control surface that provides more tactile control to handle larger mixes. You can even seamlessly connect Pro Tools | Dock to S1 to have dedicated transport controls, a jog wheel, focus fader, and more at your fingertips.
