The Avid S4 16 compact control surface gives you the same massive power, monitoring options and hands-on workflows of the Avid S6, but in a more format designed for smaller spaces and budgets. From its deep DAW control and fully integrated Dolby Atmos workflows, to superior ergonomics and easy operation, the S4 boosts your mixing efficiency with the same award-winning workflows in a more streamlined, semi-modular surface. Whether creating music, designing sound, mixing surround sound or teaching audio production, S4 is the perfect fit for any project.

Accelerate Your Mix

The Avid S4 lets you create better mixes with more precision than working with a mouse and keyboard alone. The S4 control surface boosts your tracking, editing and mixing efficiency. It gives you direct, hands-on control over a host of software functions, parameters and project navigation.

Multiple DAW Control

Like the S6, the S4 is built with EUCON technology, giving you deep, unmatched DAW integration to access and control Pro Tools, Nuendo, Logic Pro and other audio and video software right from its touchscreen and surface—even two different applications simultaneously. You can even mix tracks from two different DAWs simultaneously, enabling hybrid mixing.

Comprehensive Monitor Control

Easily assign and control talkback, listenback, and speaker sources and levels right from the surface. Handle everything from simple cue mixes for music recording, to monitoring immersive audio projects.

Customizable Surface

With its compact, semi-modular design, S4 meets your workflow needs without dominating studio space. You can configure S4 with up to 24 faders—plus three module options that offer dual joysticks, PEC/Direct controls or additional knobs.

Create Incredible Mixes With Confidence

S4 supports up to four optional Display Modules, providing extensive visual feedback of your session. From channel meters, groups, EQ curves, and automation data, to scrolling high-res Pro Tools waveforms—which can be edited right from the surface—you gain better insight into every aspect of your session.

Create Dolby Atmos Mixes With Ease

Experience the most efficient, hands-on Dolby Atmos mixing workflows in the industry when paired with Pro Tools | Ultimate, providing extensive integration for faster turnaround. Plus, its compact size makes it easy to outfit smaller rooms for surround sound audio.
