Burlington, MA (December 2, 2022)—Avid has introduced the new fixed-format Venue Stage 48 remote I/O stage rack for live sound production. The high-density, compact stage rack can connect with any Avid Venue S6L live sound mixing and recording system, and is intended for mid- to large-scale productions operating with limited budgets.
The new stage rack is equipped with the same preamp design of the Stage 64, Stage 32, Local 16 and all S6L consoles, so users get the same level of performance. Like all other Venue I/O devices, it is compatible with the entire S6L product line-up, allowing sound teams to add inventory to expand their current systems. The stage rack is a fixed-configuration analog in and analog out device.
