AVL Distribution working with Avid (previously Digidesign)

Avid is set to change the South African event, recording and broadcast industries in South Africa for ever. 'For example, imagine all the functionality that Pro Tools brings to the studio - now in a live console!

With the introduction of the VENUE live sound environment in February 2005, Avid (previously Digidesign) ignited a revolution. The system's groundbreaking design was created with direct input from leading mix engineers to answer the needs of modern live sound applications. The result is a state-of-the-art live sound production environment that delivers studio-grade audio, unprecedented reliability, and maximum flexibility for today's most demanding mixers and engineers.

And, as always, Avid leads the world in recording technology with Pro Tools. When coupled with Pro Tools, VENUE's outstanding performance, linked with seamless recording and playback integration, creates a whole new world of solutions for live and studio engineers alike.
