    Based on its full modular S6 mixing desk, released in 2013, Massachusetts-based industry titan Avid launched its slimmed-down S3 mixing system a year later. With its 16 touch-sensitive faders and 32 rotary encoders with accompanying OLED displays, the S3 has seen about six years of reputable service in project studios around the world. Now hoping to ride that goodwill a few steps further is the S1, Avid’s most diminutive hardware mixing system yet.
