VENUE is a modular system that can be custom-configured for a range of live sound applications. Its basic components include the D-Show™ mixing console, FOH (front-of-house) Rack (which houses the system’s mix engine), Stage Rack (with recallable, remote-controlled preamps), and multi-channel digital snake.
The system’s highly expandable architecture allows up to 96 mic inputs, 16 stereo effects returns, 27 buses, eight mono matrices, and eight stereo matrices, all of which provide a new level of flexible signal distribution. Stereo matrices can be treated as a monitor submixer and controlled remotely by the artist using the optional Digidesign® Personal Q™ (PQ) monitoring system. The powerful mix engine provides EQ and dynamics processing on every input channel, along with 24 assignable graphic EQs and built-in support for TDM plug-ins.
All mixing surfaces and racks offer dual-redundant power supplies and are purpose-built to measure up to the highest reliability standards in the industry. VENUE also offers direct hardware and software integration with industry-standard Pro Tools® digital audio workstations via a simple digital connection, without the need for any audio interfaces.

D-Show Mixing Console
The result of several years of design and ergonomic refinement, the D-Show™ mixing console was developed with input from leading mix engineers in touring sound, theater, houses of worship, and other fixed installations.
The console offers an intuitive and manageable interface to enable control of a large number of inputs from a smaller mixing surface while giving you the flexibility to expand the console surface with up to three Sidecars to reduce the need for layering or assignment by the user.
FOH Rack
The FOH Rack houses the D-Show™ digital mix engine, embedded control computer, and additional hardware option cards, providing connectivity at the mix position for inserts or auxiliary devices that need to reside near the engineer.
- Up to five DSP MIX engine cards for a total count of 45 DSP chips
- Analog and digital two-track connections
- Intercom facilities
- Outputs for near-field speaker monitoring
- MIDI connectors for remote control of outboard devices or MIDI Time Code synchronization of snapshot automation during a performance.
- Optional IOx card for additional analog and digital I/O
- Optional HDx or FWx cards for Pro Tools® recording and playback
- Optional second snake card allows connection of one additional Stage rack for increased mic inputs count
Stage Rack
The Stage Rack handles I/O for stage mic/line sources and output signals. A single Stage Rack accommodates up to 48 remote-controlled mic preamps and converters, and up to 48 outputs. The Stage Rack connects to the mix engine via the digital snake system. A remote head-amp architecture ensures that sensitive mic signals are converted to digital as close to the source as possible, preserving maximum audio fidelity.
- Up to 48 analog inputs with mic preamps (8 for each SRI card)
- Up to 48 analog outputs (8 for each SRO card)
- Up to 2 Stage Racks can be connected to a VENUE system for up to 96 channels of I/O and preamplification
- Optional Digital Stage Input (DSI) cards provide up to 48 digital inputs per rack*
- Optional Digital Stage Output (DSO) cards provide up to 48 digital outputs per rack*
- Optional Personal Q monitoring system
* A single Stage Rack supports up to a maximum of 48 channels of I/O (analog and digital)
Mix Rack
Mix Rack combines the functionality of the FOH Rack and Stage Rack into one compact rack, offering an integrated and more affordable audio I/O and DSP processing solution that works with D-Show and D-Show Profile consoles.
- 48 analog inputs with mic preamps (48 max.)
- 16 analog outputs (expandable up to 32 with optional output card)
- Two DSP Mix Engine cards (expandable up to three for a total of 27 DSP chips)
- Comes with D-Show 2.7 software and VENUEPack 3.0
- Compatible with D-Show and D-Show Profile
- Optional HDx card provides up to 64 channels of Pro Tools|HD® recording/playback
- Optional FWx card provides up to 18 channels of Pro Tools LE® recording/playback
- Optional AO16 Analog Output Card provides 16 line outputs (XLR)
- Optional XO16 Analog/Digital Output Card provides 8 analog line and 8 digital AES outputs
- Optional AT16 A-Net® Output Card provides 16 channels of A-Net output for personal monitoring
- Optional AI16 Analog Input Card provides 16 mic/line inputs (XLR) for replacement purposes
