Amazing Sound
Designed by the same company that made Pro Tools the industry-leading
digital audio workstation, VENUE systems deliver the same amazing
sound quality to live sound environments. The system's remote-controlled,
studio-grade mic preamps preserve audio fidelity and imaging for
complete audio transparency, while built-in processing - including
high-quality graphic EQ and dynamics - optimize clarity and smoothness
for the most pristine sound production.
Rock-Solid Reliability
The live environment is tough, unpredictable, and unforgiving, and
there's nothing more important than having some assurance that your
mixing system will function optimally day after day, week to week.
That's why all VENUE systems are built to withstand the rigors of
the road and designed to circumvent potential hazards that can occur
at any given show. All VENUE components offer redundant power supply
units and robust, fully tested software to provide peace of mind.
You'll also find redundant snakes with FOH Rack and Stage Rack. And
with the industry's first "backup mode" feature, VENUE
allows you to continue mixing the show without any audio loss should
you ever need to reset the host computer.
Flexibility for
your Needs
VENUE offers the ultimate in flexibility to handle a wide range of
live sound applications and needs. All systems offer a certain amount
of expansion and customizability, and consist of a mixing console,
digital sound processing, and I/O, and run on easy-to-use VENUE D-Show® software.
Choose from the portable, more affordable VENUE SC48 or VENUE Mix
Rack System, the compact but expandable VENUE Profile™ System,
or the highly expandable VENUE D-Show® System, then take your
pick of various options to expand the I/O, add more DSP power, provide
artist-driven personal monitoring, integrate Pro Tools recording
and playback, and more.
Fully Integrated
Plug-ins
Audio plug-ins have shaped the way the world hears sound, whether
they're used to mix a top-selling album or sweeten a film soundtrack.
With VENUE, studio sound moves to the stage. VENUE is the only system
to directly support the same high-resolution audio plug-in format
used in countless Pro Tools-equipped recording studios - no separate
computer or external connections required. Recording artists can
experience the same sound that inspired them in the studio on stage,
and engineers can easily achieve the same mixes by transferring the
plug-in settings used in the recording studio to VENUE via a USB
key. All VENUE systems come with a collection of professional plug-ins
to get started, including various compressors, reverbs, delays, and
EQs, and many more plug-ins are available from Avid and some
of the most respected names in pro audio, including McDSP, Eventide,
Drawmer, Antares, Sonnox, Crane Song, URS, Waves, TC Electronic,
and Serato.
Direct Connection
to Industry-Standard Pro Tools
VENUE offers the most streamlined, reliable, and economical approach
to integrating Pro Tools multitrack recording and playback into a
live production environment. With an HDx or FWx Option Card installed,
simply connect a computer running Pro Tools HD® or Pro Tools
LE® software to the VENUE system through the card. Then record
every single input from the stage - up to 128 tracks with Pro Tools|HD
or up to 24 tracks with Pro Tools LE - without the need for additional
interfaces or splits.
Virtual Soundcheck
With Pro Tools integration, VENUE offers an innovative workflow for
sound checking called Virtual Soundcheck, enabling you to use prerecorded
tracks from a previous show or rehearsal in place of live inputs.
This allows you to fine-tune the mix to the current venue without
requiring the presence of the performers. You can EQ the system to
the room, set up snapshots and effects settings in preparation for
the show, and dial-up all in-ear mixes before the performers get
there. And artists in attendance have the opportunity to hear what
the mix sounds like in the room instead of on stage, and can work
with the engineer to achieve an optimal mix.
Complete Compatibility
Because all VENUE systems operate on the same D-Show software platform,
you can easily swap out individual VENUE components to re-scale a
system for a specific need. Got a VENUE Profile System but need more
input faders to handle large-scale productions? Switch out the Profile
for a D-Show console and attach up to three D-Show Sidecars for dual
engineer operation. Or maybe you're looking to scale down a VENUE
Profile System to do a club tour; switch out the FOH Rack and Stage
Rack for a Mix Rack. Not only is it easy to change VENUE hardware
configurations, you won't need to rebuild any show files when you
move from system to system, as D-Show software ensures show file
compatibility across the product line, no matter the hardware configuration.
Adoption
Across the world's biggest concert stages and live broadcast events
to houses of worship and theaters large and small, more FOH and
monitor mixers, sound companies, worship leaders, broadcast engineers,
and contractors are choosing VENUE for its unrivaled sound quality,
reliability, performance, and simplicity. From Bruce Springsteen
to Ozzy Osbourne, from Broadway to the Grammy® Awards, and
from houses of worship to the Olympics and beyond, audiences
everywhere are experiencing the amazing sound quality of VENUE.
