Pro Tools S3

Control Surface Studio

Publisher: Avid

S3 is a compact, EUCON-enabled, ergonomic desktop control surface that offers a streamlined yet versatile mixing solution for the modern sound engineer. Like S6, S3 delivers intelligent control over every aspect of Pro Tools and other DAWs, but at a more affordable price. While its small form factor makes it ideal for space-confined or on-the-go music and post mixing, it packs enormous power and accelerated mixing efficiency for faster turnarounds, making it the perfect fit everywhere, from project studios to the largest, most demanding facilities.

Harness your imagination and efficiently create mixes with help from this Avid Pro Tools S3 control surface, which offers intelligent control over Pro Tools and other DAWs, so you can optimize your digital audio workflow.

Record and monitor right from your control surface

It's more than a powerful control surface - the Pro Tools | S3 is equipped with a 4-in/6-out AVB audio interface, allowing you to record and monitor with no additional audio interface required. In fact you can even use the Pro Tools | S3 like a traditional console, using the audio ins and outs strictly as a monitor section with control over volume, dim, cut, and sum to mono. This effectively makes the Pro Tools | S3 equal parts control surface, audio interface, and mixer, creating the perfect solution for producers, mix engineers, and musicians.

Uses premium components from the S6 console
