Live Sound Mixing VENUE brings power and sophistication to any FOH or monitor mix position, combining a scalable I/O architecture with interchangeable consoles to fit the needs of any given application, from small clubs and theaters to major tours, mega churches, and broadcast events. VENUE systems offer full compatibility with TDM plug-in processing, providing low latency coupled with complete tactile control. And because VENUE systems operate from a common application, VENUE D-Show® software, you can freely move show files between systems of any scale.
![]() Archiving and Virtual Soundcheck VENUE is helping engineers overcome age-old live sound challenges by leveraging the power of multitrack recording through a direct connection with Pro Tools|HD® or Pro Tools LE® workstations. This marriage of technologies has resulted in a groundbreaking new workflow called Virtual Soundcheck, which allows engineers to easily and quickly use recorded multitrack audio as a replacement for live mic/line audio while refining mixes to an unprecedented level of detail. Thanks to Virtual Soundcheck, VENUE users are enjoying mix time that they’ve never had before. In addition, the system's tight integration with Pro Tools allows engineers to contribute industry-standard, multitrack session files to any artist’s or facility’s audio archive.

“VENUE, matched with the Pro Tools recording rig, is a very powerful combination. I can now sit down and do mixing sessions with one band member at a time and fine-tune his or her mix in a way never before possible. Using Virtual Soundcheck will take your artist’s experience to another level never before possible.”
