Reclaim your mixing creativity with SC48

With the award-winning SC48 digital console, you can spend more time focusing on your mix—not fussing with the mixer. Its analog-like workflow makes the transition to digital painless.

Go the distance with the Stage 48 remote I/O box

With Stage 48, which comes with 32 inputs and 16 outputs in the SC48 Remote System configuration, you can place your I/O anywhere—up to 328 feet (100 meters) from the console, and closer to your sources for maximum fidelity. And because it features fully redundant, auto-switching Ethernet AVB snake connections over inexpensive, lightweight Cat5e cable (which connects to SC48 via the Ethernet Snake Card), you get the utmost reliability—without bulky cable clutter. You can also expand and customize the I/O for your needs.

Plug-ins—studio-quality sound at your fingertips

Forget sidestepping around racks of outboard gear or external plug-in “runners.” All VENUE systems support plug-ins, so you can re-create the same sounds that artists covet in the studio, live. SC48 Remote Systems come with a high-quality collection of core plug-ins. Expand your creative mixing palette even further with the largest collection of audio plug-ins from Avid and some of the best audio designers in the industry—including believable emulations of modern and vintage hardware processors.

Pro Tools multitrack recording—built in

SC48 features a built-in Pro Tools interface, making it easy to record and play back up to 32-track sessions. Simply connect a computer (sold separately) running Pro Tools software (included), and VENUE Link syncs your live mixing and recording rigs together, enabling you to control them as one. And with Virtual Soundcheck, you can fine-tune mixes—sans band—using tracks recorded from a previous performance.

VENUE software—learn once, take command of all

All VENUE systems share one common, easy-to-use software platform—VENUE software. Once you’re familiar with it, you can mix on any VENUE console—and load your show files on any VENUE system too. With the software’s efficient and comprehensive control, you gain access to the entire system to speed up your workflow, from accessing files, routing, and adjusting settings, to saving/recalling snapshots, automating macros, and initiating recordings.
