Avid Pro Tools S1 EUCON Desktop Control Surface

For South African engineers who want a serious mixing experience without a full-size console, the Pro Tools S1 control surface from Marshall Music brings eight touch-sensitive motorized faders and EUCON integration to your desktop. Compact enough for any studio yet powerful enough for professional workflows, the S1 puts tactile control back into mixing, editing, and tracking sessions.

Why the Pro Tools S1 Control Surface Stands Out

At the heart of the Pro Tools S1 control surface are eight 100mm motorized faders, each paired with a high-resolution OLED display, a touch-sensitive rotary encoder, and dedicated function keys for solo, mute, record enable, and select. As a result, every channel strip gives you instant visual feedback alongside hands-on control — no digging through menus required.

Powered by EUCON, Avid’s high-speed Ethernet control protocol, the S1 delivers deep, responsive integration with Pro Tools and other EUCON-aware software. In addition, customizable soft keys let you trigger frequently used functions with a single tap, speeding up repetitive editing and mixing tasks. The S1 also works hand-in-hand with the free Pro Tools | Control app for iPad, combining touchscreen workflows with physical faders for a genuinely ergonomic setup.

What makes the S1 particularly appealing for growing studios, however, is its expandability. You can run a single unit as your entire control surface, or link up to three S1 units together with an Avid Dock and an iPad or Android tablet running the Avid Control app — scaling your control surface as your studio and budget grow, without needing to replace existing hardware.

Whether you’re mixing a single-room project studio or building toward a larger EUCON-based control setup, the Pro Tools S1 control surface delivers professional tactile control that scales with you. Order yours today from Marshall Music, South Africa’s home for Avid Pro Tools gear.
