rumors on NEW digital consolles

you know something?


In case your thread is serious and not just a joke....

Avid is releasing info on the S6 tomorrow, which may or may not have application for live sound. They already have the S3L console out, but it is not clear whether the S6 will be dual purpose or not, it might just be for studio use. The video looks promising, and suggests that the S series is the likely platform that the successors to the Venue range of consoles runs on, and that there may be several S series consoles eventually. Given that Avid just EOL'ed their Icon consoles (the same tech platform as Venue but for studio use), the writing is likely on the wall for Venue too.

More info will be announced tomorrow at IBC 2013.

Re: rumors....

Yamaha could sort of have an LS9 replacement if they'd make all of the firmware changes I've recommended.

The S6 looks like a blend of Avid, Salzbrenner, and Pro-Tools. $$$$$
The CL1 is twice the price of an LS9. It sure seems like there would be room in Yamaha's lineup for something between $5k and $10k that is a next-gen LS9.
