The Avid S4 16-Fader Control Surface (4 Base Frame) is a customizable, EUCON-enabled professional control surface that delivers the mixing power of the industry-standard Avid S6, but in a smaller, more affordable package. It boosts your mixing efficiency with the same award-winning workflows in a streamlined, semi-modular surface that provides hands-on control over a host of software functions, parameters, and project navigation for Pro Tools and other popular DAWs. From its superior ergonomics and operational ease to its fully integrated Dolby Atmos workflow and optional modules like joysticks and attention knobs (modules available separately), the S4 is a perfect fit for budget-conscious independent mixers creating music, designing sound, or mixing immersive audio, in smaller audio postproduction facilities, and music studios.
A 1-Year ExpertPlus Support with Hardware Coverage plan is included with unlimited priority phone support and online technical support, plus billing and account help-response within 4 hours.
Get Unmatched Hands-On Control
At the core of the S4 is the Master Touch Module (MTM). It gives you quick access to your mix and control parameters through a tilting 12.1 multipoint touchscreen, eight adjacent rotary encoders, and other dedicated knobs and keys.
The Master Automation Module (MAM) offers a full transport control, shuttle/jog wheel, focus fader, automation control, numeric keypad, and other keys and switches to help you navigate and automate your projects easily.
Two Channel Strip Modules (CSM), each with eight channel faders and 32 top-lit knobs (four per channel), allow you to control track levels, plug-ins, and other parameters.
Take Command of Multiple DAWs
S4 is built with EUCON technology, giving you deep DAW integration to fully access and control Pro Tools, Nuendo, Logic Pro, and other audio/video software right from its touchscreen and surface-even for two different applications simultaneously.
Create Dolby Atmos Mixes with Ease
Experience the most efficient hands-on Dolby Atmos mixing workflows in the industry when paired with Pro Tools | Ultimate, providing extensive integration for faster project turnaround. The S4 compact size makes it ideal to outfit smaller rooms for immersive audio.
Customize the Surface for Your Needs
The S4 s semi-modular design lets you customize your surface with additional modules to suit your workflow and expand your creative capabilities.
Add the Joystick Module to mix surround sound and immersive audio projects, including Dolby Atmos and Ambisonics, using dual touch-sensitive joysticks, and TFT and OLED displays, to position sounds with precision.
Add the Post module to help complete post projects faster and enable you to switch between listening to recorded tracks/stems and their inputs through two rows of 10 PEC/Direct paddles, and ensure they sound identical before punching in to record.
Add the Attention Knob module to your surface, and get 32 additional top-lit knobs, providing additional assignable controls and visual feedback for adjusting attention track functions, including plug-ins, EQ, Dynamics, and pan.
See Your Mix in New Ways
This 4 base frame supports up to three Display Modules, providing extensive visual feedback of your session. From channel meters, groups, EQ curves, and automation data, to scrolling high-resolution Pro Tools waveforms (which can be edited right from the surface), you gain better insight into every aspect of your session, allowing yourself to mix with confidence.
