As we kick off the first day of PLASA 2012 (Stand 1-G17), we’re pleased to introduce three new VENUE HD System Bundles that pair a powerful VENUE live sound system with the new Pro Tools|HD Native Thunderbolt interface. The D-Show HD Native 64 Bundle, Profile HD Native 64 Bundle, and Mix Rack HD Native 64 Bundle all come with a Pro Tools|HD Native Thunderbolt interface and offer highly cost-effective, portable solutions to mix and record live performances, play back prerecorded tracks, and speed up sound checks with Virtual Soundcheck.

These VENUE HD Bundles include everything needed to record up to 64 inputs using Pro ToolsHD, to a Thunderbolt-equipped laptop or desktop computer—no additional audio interfaces required. And engineers can monitor their recordings in confidence using the HD Native Thunderbolt interface’s built-in audiophile-grade headphone output, which is powerful enough to drive headphones over the roar of the crowd. A laptop lock port is also included to ensure that the Thunderbolt interface doesn’t become too portable and walk away from the gig.

VENUE HD System Bundles also offer options with Pro Tools| HDX and HD Native PCIe card configurations, providing engineers with total flexibility in choosing the perfect end-to-end live sound mixing, recording, and playback solution for their needs—all at a great value.
