Studio integration

The V3 Acoustic 52RU console is the centerpiece of the workspace and was customized to directly integrate two Avid Artist Mix surfaces and one Avid Artist Control surface. This configuration groups the mixing controls around the main monitors and allows for a seamless and accessible workflow.

The lower rack spaces house the processors and auxiliary equipment, while the sloped surfaces keep the controls oriented toward the engineer's position. The black finish visually unifies the desk with the control surfaces and the rest of the technical equipment.

The small pull-out tray allows you to use the keyboard and mouse without permanently taking up space on the main work surface. When not in use, they can be stowed under the desk to free up the central editing area.
