Obviously Avid sees broadcast and post as being where most of their customers who actually have a budget for this live. I think the fact that they are no longer trying to be all things to all people is a mighty smart move.

Just found this on pricing.......

Note $22K is for the S6 M10 8 faders setup.
From the prices announced on GS by a dealer, the S6 M10 24 faders, with producer desk and 10 Modules will be around $51K.
The S6 M40 with 32 faders, 4 displays and 17 Modules will be around $110K.
I could understand for the S6 M40 (Icon D-Control price range), I clearly don't get it for the S6 M10 (supposed to be the Icon D-Command replacement for twice the price and only 24 faders while the D-Command could get 40 faders).
I think the whole modular concept is only for Avid to give the impression to have low prices...

I don't know the price for the individual module, but you can only customize the m40. The m10 comes in a total of 6 variant.

8 faders 5 knob
8 faders 5 knob + producer's desk.
16 faders 5 knob
16 faders 5 knob + producer's desk
24 faders 5 knob
24 faders 5 knob + producer's desk

So the prices are not that far off when you include the new features, that the d-command Didn't have. Also the information in that sub quote seems a bit off. The s6 m10 can only have 9 modules The touch screen brain and the transport section are automatically included. And at 51 k it seems it includes the leg stands which you can go without as the frame can be desk mounted.

Well, that's drawback...........

Entry level buyers are being punished. $22k for 8 faders, 5 knobs, and no meter bridge (and no option to get one). Compared with D Command which streeted for $13k with a meter bridge. Just my 2 cents.

M40 buyers are paying the same price for a comparable D Control. Good for them.

You better hope Avid is making smart moves and post houses will be purchasing many units or your stock will go down...

The S6 looks beautiful, I have looked around the avid page to find some hi-res pictures, but can really seem to find any. Does anybody know if there are some hi- res pictures available somewhere? I would love to see more pictures of the whole console and parts of it.

on the website you can click on the modules themselves to get a bigger pic, I haven't tried on the Avid webpage, but I know on sweetwater's it does it. Just checked Avid.com, go at this page and click on each module.
