When the pressure’s on, this is the rack that will deliver. The Avid VENUE Stage 32 I/O 24 x 8 rack provides modular, high-capacity connectivity that live sound engineers count on in stadiums, broadcast trucks or touring rigs. Preloaded with 24 inputs and 8 outputs, this 5 RU unit supports up to 32x32 I/O at 96 kHz when fully configured. Four card slots allow users to customize with analog, digital or Dante connectivity, while dual redundant power and elite Avid support make it a trusted backbone for mission-critical events. From remote deployments to multi-stage productions, the Stage 32 rack offers scalable routing and consistent uptime.

Modular Card Slots Give the Stage 32 Rack Flexible I/O

Four hot-swappable card slots provide full flexibility over the I/O mix. Add analog, digital or Dante cards to expand the system from its preloaded 24x8 up to 32 inputs and 32 outputs. Engineers can reconfigure between events or venues without replacing the entire rig—ideal for rental houses, tour teams and fixed installs that demand future-ready solutions.

Network Integration for Large-Scale VENUE Systems

Optimized for modern workflows, the Stage 32 rack connects via Ethernet AVB using either etherCON or SFP ports. It supports redundant ring and star topologies with Luminex GigaCore switches, enabling resilient audio networks across large venues or multi-zone deployments. A built-in MADI output delivers a direct split of all 32 input channels for seamless integration with recording rigs or broadcast consoles.

Touring-Friendly Design

The rack's 5 RU footprint fits standard cases and flypacks, with a clean layout that minimizes setup errors. Modular card access, intuitive labeling and simple AVB networking speed up changeovers, even under pressure. Dual redundant internal power supplies ensure confidence in unpredictable environments.
