Designed for high-end professionals and smaller-sized facilities.
The S6 console comes in two base models, the S6 M10 engine and S6 M40 engine. The M40 engine is designed for high-end professionals and facilities that need great scalability and customizability, while the M10 is suited for budget-conscious pros and small- to mid-size facilities. The M40 engine allows for a maximum of up to 41 individual modules, while the M10 maxes out at 9. The M40 can also handle up to 64 channel faders and supports high-resolution TFT display modules, and the M10 has no display support with up to 24 maximum faders available.
This version is based on the S6 M10 Master Module engine, with three S6 Fader Modules (24 faders), three S6 Knob Modules (4 knobs per channel), and three Process Modules (1 knob per channel).
Master Module:
Master modules are the central hubs of your S6 surface. All surfaces must include a main engine, which provides touchscreen access and control; you have a choice between two-S6 M40 or S6 M10. The S6 Automation Module complements both, providing controls for transport, automation, and more.
Both feature a tilting 12.1-inch multipoint touchscreen, eight adjacent rotary encoders, and dedicated knobs and keys for monitoring and global control, enabling you to view, access, and edit different aspects of your mix-such as tracks, processing, and metering-without mousing through menus.
Channel Modules:
Channel modules provide the control and feedback elements you need-from faders and knobs, to processing and metering. All modules feature reliable, high-speed Ethernet connectivity for easy set-up. Whether a pre-configured surface meets your needs or you want to mix and match modules in your own custom creation, here are the modules you can choose:
S6 Fader Module
8 motorized faders
Dual LED meters per channel (with gain reduction metering)
Mute, solo, and other switches with color LEDs
Control levels for 8 simultaneous tracks
S6 Knob Module

S6 Process Module
8 multicolor LED top-lit knobs (one per channel)
22 function select switches per channel with color LEDs
8 OLED displays for labels and visual feedback
Provides mode selectors for Knob Modules to control up to 9 simultaneous encoder values

Available only with S6 M40 configurations

S6 Overview:
Revolutionary modular design
S6 is built to grow with you at every stage of your business-now and in the future. With a first-of-its-kind modular design, you can customize the surface with the modules you need to match your current workflow for the greatest cost efficiency, and scale the surface-horizontally and vertically-as your business grows. Choose a pre-configured S6 M10 or S6 M40 surface with the options you need or, with S6 M40, customize the surface even further with different channel control combinations.
Superior ergonomics
S6 acts and feels like a physical extension of your software, providing a truly intuitive and immersive experience. Turn around projects faster with high-precision editing and mixing control at your fingertips. Quickly access and edit plug-ins, surround panning, and more with the multipoint touchscreen. And see every detail of your mix with unprecedented visual feedback, including waveform scrolling.
Networked connectivity
S6 features high-speed EUCON Ethernet connectivity, enabling the surface to communicate directly with Pro Tools and other EUCON-enabled DAWs and provide a deeply integrated experience. Control up to eight audio workstations and media applications simultaneously anywhere on your network-even systems across the facility-with incredible responsiveness. And because S6 features truly networked communication, it's easy to configure, scale, and reconfigure the surface at whim.
Take intelligent control of Pro Tools
Pair S6 with Pro Tools and you gain the Avid advantage of faster workflows, extended visual feedback, and unique features to accelerate your efficiency every step of the way. From recording tracks and assigning and editing plug-ins, to viewing scrolling waveforms (on S6 M40 surfaces with a Display Module), writing automation, recalling snapshots, and more, S6 offers the Pro Tools integration that only Avid can provide.
Intelligent studio control
In addition to Pro Tools, S6 provides the flexibility to extend your mixing control to Logic Pro, Nuendo, Cubase, and other EUCON-enabled DAWs. This enables you to mix multiple music and/or audio post projects created on different audio workstations simultaneously, and easily switch out sessions in seconds-all from a single control surface.
Extensive visual feedback
S6 offers unprecedented visual feedback, enabling you to monitor every facet of your mix. From top-lit status knobs and the master touchscreen, which can display tracks, meters, panning, and other visuals, to color OLEDs and high-resolution screens at the top of the console that provide full channel names, processing graphs, Pro Tools waveform scrolling, and more, you get the critical visual insight you need to mix with complete confidence and speed.
Proven technology
S6 delivers incredible workflow acceleration, highly responsive handling, and deep DAW integration-all built on proven technology, trusted by top audio professionals in the most demanding production environments. The result: you get the exceptional, dynamic performance you need to deliver your best sounding mix possible-on time, every time.
