About Digidesign VENUE
Digidesign® VENUE is an innovative, state-of-the-art live sound mixing and production environment that surpasses the sound quality and functionality of other sound reinforcement mixing systems at an affordable price. Revolutionizing the world of sound reinforcement, VENUE runs digital signal processing (DSP) effects plug-ins, eliminating the need for extensive FOH and monitor effects racks. VENUE also seamlessly integrates with Digidesign's industry-standard Pro Tools® recording and playback systems, opening the door for exciting new ways to deliver music to the consumer.
The result of an intensive research and development program, VENUE was designed with input from a wide variety of seasoned live sound professionals. VENUE was specifically developed to meet the specialized requirements of modern sound reinforcement. The result is a purpose-built, dedicated modular system that delivers studio-grade sound quality, maximum reliability, and unprecedented flexibility.
Studio-grade Sound Quality
VENUE features an extremely powerful, precise, and flexible digital live sound mixing engine, providing unprecedented sound quality, headroom, and fidelity. Internal 48-bit processing provides ultra-high resolution for the onboard EQ and Dynamics sections, and offers uncompromised headroom on mix busses.
Maximum Reliability
VENUE was purpose-built from the ground up to service the stringent requirements of live sound reinforcement and broadcast applications. Multiple redundant subsystems ensure that audio continues to pass, even in the event of a system restart. Moreover, the operator retains complete control over channel faders and mutes during the unlikely event of a failure of the host computer - an industry first.
Unprecedented Flexibility
VENUE's D-Show console supports a myriad of professional DSP effects plug-ins, providing virtually unlimited possibilities for creative sound processing and original mixes. The live sound engineer can easily take advantage of the very same effects algorithms used in professional Pro Tools recording studios, bringing the sound of the studio to the concert hall. This significantly expands the operator's sonic palette while simultaneously eliminating reliance on outboard gear and the potential for hum, buzz, and noise that such gear often introduces.
VENUE is the only live sound mixing environment to feature an optional direct digital link to industry-standard Digidesign Pro Tools systems - without requiring separate converters or digital I/O peripherals. This enables operators to seamlessly integrate a separate Pro Tools workstation with the D-Show console to record a show or augment a live performance with Pro Tools playback. VENUE also supports offline configuration, maximizing productivity by enabling operators to prep a system on a laptop computer prior to a show, and then simply upload the data to D-Show's embedded computer upon arrival.
