With the Avid S1, you can enhance your workflow with the superior speed, visual feedback and software integration of Avid's renowned mixing consoles in a compact, feature-rich, budget-friendly control surface. Avid has incorporated advanced features from its full-size desks into the S1, including touch-sensitive motorized faders, touch-sensitive knobs, and touchscreen-integrated keys. The S1 gives you hands-on, in-depth control of your favorite audio and video software, and along with the free Pro Tools | Control for iPad facilitates intuitive, ergonomic, touchscreen-optimized workflows, providing meter visualization and S6-like processing that lets you quickly navigate through extensive sessions and get better-sounding mixes faster. If you're involved in music production, video production, or audio post-production, you can now get the most out of Pro Tools with the compact and versatile Avid S1.

Accelerate your music, video, or audio post-production workflows

For musicians, producers and engineers, working with just a mouse and keyboard can be tiring. The Avid S1 delivers the immediacy, speed, precision and software integration you need to quickly transform your creative ideas into high-quality final products. The S1 is also a benefit for audio post-production studios with tight deadlines, where multiple projects are frequently moved between different mixing rooms. The S1 offers the practical efficiency of recording, editing and surround mixing audio from larger tables in a considerably smaller space, making it easy and affordable to outfit every room in your facility. For video professionals, the S1 not only lets you tackle large projects with ease, but also lets you complete sound editing and mixing tasks faster and with greater precision than with just a mouse and keyboard.

Pro Tools high-resolution control with precise software integration

The S1 is powered by EuCon, a high-speed control protocol developed by Avid that enables deep integration between hardware and software, and simultaneous, touch-sensitive control of multiple Avid and third-party software functions via Ethernet, at a speed 250 times larger and with eight times more resolution than MIDI. EuCon automatically detects the application that is in the foreground and instantly adjusts the high-resolution touchscreen, motorized faders, and control suite to match. There are over a thousand Pro Tools features accessible through EuCon, and that number continues to grow as new features are added. EuCon also lets you switch between multiple applications and workstations with the press of a button, providing an incredibly fluid editing and mixing experience.

High-Resolution OLED Displays and Pro Tools App | Free control

In addition to its high-resolution OLED displays, for even more intuitive operation, the S1 integrates with the free Pro Tools | Control for iPad, improving your workflow with instant visual feedback. From track names, parameter values, and automation data to S6-style monitoring, measurement, and channel processing views, the S1 delivers the comprehensive hands-on, out-of-the-box experience of working on a large-format desktop on a versatile control surface, compact and accessible. Its dedicated monitoring view lets you quickly assign and control talkback, listenback, sources, and speaker levels directly from the surface to speed up your recording and mixing workflows. The S1 also makes it easy to reconfigure your control surface as your needs grow. Connect multiple drives together or add an optional Pro Tools | Dock to create a unique extended, integrated surface, with jog wheel, transport controls, focus fader and more - all at your fingertips.
