Experience the Most Powerful Processing Engine in the Industry
From Broadway to broadcast, live productions are more complex than ever, requiring hundreds of channels. With the groundbreaking VENUE | E6L engine, you have two powerhouse technologies working in concert together. The real-time processing engine handles all routing, channel, and mixing functions for maximum stability and power, while the HDX-powered DSP engine manages all AAX plug-in processing, enabling you to create bigger, better sounding mixes.

Achieve Pristine Sound Through High-Performance I/O
Scale your system with as little or as much I/O as you need with the Stage 64 rack (sold separately), featuring a high-performance preamp design that delivers the best possible sound quality throughout the signal path, with incredible clarity, warmth, and presence.

Get More Creative with Expanded Plug-In Processing
Mix with the same sound processors used in top studios. Thanks to dedicated HDX-powered DSPs handling all plug-in processing, you can deploy an unprecedented number of plug-ins to fine-tune and finesse every channel to get the exact sounds you want. S6L comes with and directly supports 64-bit AAX DSP plug-ins, giving you far more creative choices than other live mixing systems.

Record and Support the Biggest Shows with Pro Tools
S6L offers the most powerful and integrated live recording capabilities in the industry, providing seamless Pro Tools recording and playback, while enabling you to control your live mixing and recording rigs as one. With Virtual Soundcheck, you can use live recordings to fine-tune mixes, program snapshots, experiment with plug-ins, and more, saving valuable sound check and set-up time.
