Yes, this is true. There are not a lot of consoles left from Avid here in Holland. Other brands seem to have filled the gap. Which is shame.

Such a shame that this long and still no word for a mid priced console from Avid. Seeing Allen and Heath and Digico's everywhere but Avid is really missing out........

Just curious. Given channel counts slightly increased over years, do you want a replacement channel-wise (with lower price) or price-wise (with more channels)?

If we could get something in the $30K - 45K range that basically used the same Stage Racks as the S3L-X, but a new control surface that would be close to as functional as a 24-D, but not as big.... I think that would make a LOT of people happy. Has to use Venue 5.x software though.

I would say prise-wise 35-50k(€) because customers are used to the same but most of the time they also grow. Where an SC48 had 48 inputs an 64+8 stereo channels, an S3L-X
is far behind. Also compared to competitors. It is not even funny..... And whey to expensive for what you get!

An replacement should have 96 channels at least and 48mixbusses, plus 16 matrixes. 50 plugs 4 slots. Then you can be competitive to competitors of soundcraft Vi, and be appealing to an Allen Heath Dlive & Digico. If not, it would be Game over within a year from now, at least from where I am at.

those numbers seem quite achievable.

Yes...but when???? The longer you wait the more other brand consoles are hitting the clubs......

New product announcements are usually done on trade shows and not on the DUC. But everyone still expects them to be done on the DUC

Seems it's been that way since the DUC's been around!

[PTlanceK]

Yeah but unfortunately while we wait for another trade show.....other competitors are getting their consoles in the clubs and Avid isn't....which is really a shame
