Avid S1 EUCON-Enabled Desktop Control Surface with 8 Motorised Faders

The Avid S1 is a compact, EUCON-enabled desktop control surface designed for professional audio and video production. It brings the functionality of larger mixing consoles into a streamlined format suitable for modern studio setups, offering hands-on control over digital audio workstations and video editing software. With its integration of hardware controls and software feedback, it bridges the gap between tactile operation and digital precision. The unit features eight 100mm motorised, touch-sensitive faders and eight push-top, touch-sensitive rotary encoders for precise parameter adjustment. High-resolution OLED displays provide immediate visual feedback on track names, metering, channel processing, and automation modes. The S1 utilises Avid's EUCON ethernet control protocol for low-latency communication with compatible software, supporting not only Avid's Pro Tools and Media Composer but also third-party applications like Cubase, Premiere Pro, and Logic Pro. Customisable soft keys and dedicated hardware buttons for functions like mute, solo, and record-enable allow for a personalised workflow. This control surface is ideally suited for music producers, sound engineers, and video editors working in home studios or project environments who require efficient, hands-on control without the footprint of a full-sized console. Its scalable design allows multiple S1 units to be connected together for expanded channel counts, while integration with the free Avid Control app on tablets provides additional monitoring and control options. The combination of tactile feedback, software integration, and compact design makes it a practical centrepiece for modern creative workflows.
