Build Your Own S6

How Big, How Many Faders?

The S6 is unique in its modularity, you can build a system with as few as 8 faders or multi-operator versions that span the width of a large dubbing theater. And once you have installed S6 you can add to the system as your workflow demands more control.

As an authorized Avid reseller, AID can help choose and build the right system for your workflow, integrating the S6 with Pro Tools and 3rd party interfaces, Dolby Atmos, outboard gear and monitor solutions.

Preconfigured Surfaces

The following preconfigured S6 surfaces are available to handle most music and post workflows. You can customize any S6 by adding a Producer’s Desk, Leg Assemblies, or customize the surface further with different channel module combinations…

There are two system sizes that include different versions of the Master Touch Module (MTM). The M40 MTM can support up to 46 modules, the M10 up to 14. All other modules and functions are the same between the two systems.
