Mix big in any space! Get the unparalleled speed, rich visual feedback, and software integration of Avid's high-end consoles in a slimline surface that's an easy fit for any space or budget.

Music creation and mixing professionals: Creating great-sounding music can be a challenge when you're working with just a mouse and keyboard. Avid S1 gives you the hands-on speed, precision, and software integration music creators & mixers need to turn around better sounding mixes faster. All in a portable and affordable slimline surface that works with multiple DAWs and fits easily in any studio space and budget. From recording & editing tracks, to mixing and monitoring in stereo or surround, S1 provides the comprehensive control and visual feedback to accelerate any music workflow.
Audio post and mixing professionals: As the demand for new content continues to increase, audio post-production facilities are often shuttling multiple projects through different mix rooms to stay on deadline. Avid S1 provides the hands-on sound recording, editing, & surround mixing capabilities of bigger consoles in a much smaller footprint, enabling you to outfit any room in your facility for production. You get the deep DAW integration and flexibility only Avid provides in a versatile control surface designed for fast project turnaround. Plus, its small price makes it an easy choice for freelance sound editors and mixers.
Video production professionals: When it comes to editing video, sound is half the picture. Avid S1 provides the hands-on control you need to not only navigate large video projects quickly, but also complete sound editing & mixing tasks with greater speed and precision than working with a mouse and keyboard. Get fast access to a host of Media Composer, Premiere Pro, and other video and audio software functions from the surface. And create higher quality soundtracks faster – in stereo or surround – with a versatile and affordable slimline surface that fits easily between your display and keyboard.
While Avid S1 fits easily between your display and keyboard, it packs a lot of mixing power into its small surface. From motorized fadeknobs that respond to your touch, to fast-access touchscreen workflows and Soft Keys that enable you to perform complex tasks with a single press, S1 provides the speed and versatility to accelerate any music, audio post, or video project.
