With over 10 AVID S6L 32D surfaces deployed in one of India’s largest VENUE rollouts to date, this adoption signals a major shift toward high capacity, scalable workflows built for international touring and broadcast grade productions

Published on 23^rd January, 2026

Ansata has successfully delivered multiple AVID VENUE | S6L-32D flagship live sound consoles, powered by the E6LX-256 engine, to leading rental and production companies across India. The scale and spread of these deployments underline a clear shift in how live sound is being approached in the country, one that places greater emphasis on quality, scale, and long-term reliability.

Trusted by Leading Production Houses

The systems have been delivered to several established names within India’s live sound and event production ecosystem. These include K.G. Movie (Kolkata), MSS (Delhi), Namdhari Audio Visual Equipments (Hyderabad), Phoenix Networks Global Pvt Ltd (Bhopal), Picture Productions India Pvt Ltd (Chennai), Reynolds Sound & Lighting Services Pvt Ltd (Bengaluru), Sugandar Light House (Bengaluru), Ganpati Sound (India), and Systematic Inc (Bangalore). Together, these companies are involved in the delivery of concerts, music festivals, touring productions, broadcast events, and large‑format corporate shows, supporting live event operations across multiple regions of the country.

A Large-Scale Rollout

In total, more than 10 AVID S6L-32D control surfaces were delivered, each paired with E6LX-256 engines and supported by Stage 64 remote I/O systems. This coordinated rollout represents one of the most significant deployments of AVID’s flagship VENUE platform in the Indian live sound market so far.

Clear Market Shift

The adoption of the S6L-32D at this scale reflects a broader change within India’s live sound ecosystem. Production companies are increasingly moving toward systems that are built to handle complex, high-channel-count shows while meeting the expectations of international touring artists and broadcast productions. There is a growing focus on sound quality, consistency, and workflows that can scale across different types of events without compromise.

Built for India’s Diverse Production Needs

From large orchestral performances and festival stages to broadcast and multitrack recording environments, the E6LX-256 engine is well suited to the wide range of production scenarios common in India. Its reliability and flexibility make it a practical choice for companies that need a single platform capable of handling very different types of shows at a consistently high level.

Used Across Major Events and Tours

The newly deployed S6L systems have already been used, or are scheduled to be used, on productions featuring artists and events such as Sid Sriram, One World One Family – World Cultural Festival, Glass Beams, When Chai Met Toast, Prateek Kuhad, Indian Ocean, Benny Dayal, Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Talwinder, Avial, Papon, Javed Ali, Mithoon, Anirudh Ravichander and many more artists.

Training and Support from Ansata

Along with the system deliveries, Ansata provided structured technical training and hands-on support to ensure each team could confidently deploy and operate the consoles across real-world production environments. This approach allows rental companies and engineers to get the most out of the platform from day one.

Testimonials

“Upgrading to the AVID S6L has moved us from managing constraints to designing workflows. On large-format events, the real challenge isn’t channel count—it’s handling rapid transitions, guest engineers, and complex routing with zero margin for error. The S6L allows us to build shows around event-driven automation and snapshots, where scene changes, mutes, FX states, and routing are triggered by events rather than manual intervention. This reduces cognitive load during high-pressure moments and makes changeovers faster, cleaner, and repeatable. At festival scale, the console becomes less a mixing surface and more a control system for live production.” - Manoj Singh, K.G. Movies

“Investing in the AVID S6L is a strategic step forward for Reynolds. It allows us to deliver world-class audio quality while giving our engineers the flexibility and confidence needed for demanding productions. With AVID & ANSATA support, this system strengthens our ability to serve clients at the highest level.” - Moses Abhishek, Reynold’s Sound and Light

Executive Comment from Ansata:
“The increasing demand for consoles like the Avid S6L really shows how much the live entertainment industry in India has grown. Shows today are bigger, more complex, and far more demanding than they used to be. There is also a noticeable change in mindset. Engineers, artists, and production teams know what global shows sound like, and they want that same level of quality here. Compromise is no longer an option, and that’s pushing the industry toward equipment that’s genuinely proven and built to handle pressure.

One of the biggest reasons the S6L has been adopted so strongly is its reliability. In live sound, especially on large shows, nothing matters more than knowing the console will perform exactly the same way every single day. The S6L has earned that trust worldwide by being stable and predictable in the most demanding situations. At the same time, it sounds exceptional. The preamps are clean, the headroom is generous, and the signal path is extremely transparent. What you put in is what you get out, without any added colour, which gives engineers the freedom to mix in their own style.

Additionally, features like flexible routing, easy show file compatibility, high channel-count recording for virtual soundchecks or post-production, and seamless plugin integration make the S6L practical for modern productions.

At Ansata, we can experience this evolution. Our focus isn’t just on delivering technology, but on backing it with proper training, dependable service, and a three-year warranty, so our customers can invest with confidence and focus on delivering great shows.” – Leslie Lean, Director, Ansata
