The Venue SC48 features an all-in-one design, with all I/O, digital signal processing and tactile control into one compact console. The unit also features support for professional audio plug-ins and built-in Pro Tools LE integration.
Like all Venue systems, the Venue SC48 uses Venue D-Show software. With built-in processing, including graphic EQ and dynamics, the support for professional plug-ins allows users to easily re-create an artist’s preferred studio sound live. The SC48 also features a Pro Tools LE FireWire interface, making it easy to connect a computer (sold separately) running Pro Tools LE software (included) for live show recording. Users can also perform Virtual Soundcheck to play tracks recorded from a previous performance in place of the live mic/line inputs and fine-tune the mix before a show, without requiring the performers to be there. The SC48’s workflow innovations include Channel Control, which gives users access to any channel strip function at the push of a button, including input parameters, EQ, dynamics, and Aux sends, through the console’s eight color-coded rotary encoders. Flex Channel can also be used to assign and gain perpetual access to a key channel. VCA Spill provides access to channels without banking, and the unit’s 999-snapshot capability lets users make complex changes quickly as well.
