Why Buy Through VK

S4 configuration is half the battle.

The S4 is the most flexible surface Avid makes — which means it is also the easiest to mis-configure. VK's Avid specialists pre-build, EUCON-test, and burn-in every system before it ships.

Trade your old Avid surface against your new S4. Most S4 buyers qualify for VK Credit Card financing.

"VK pre-configured the S4 for our workflow before it shipped. We were mixing on it the day it landed."

FAQ

Common S4 questions.

How is the S4 different from the S6?
The S4 is more compact, more affordable, and uses a slightly simplified module set. The S6 is the flagship surface with deeper channel knob count, more displays, and higher channel density. Both run on the same EUCON platform.
Does the S4 work with Logic, Cubase, Nuendo?
Yes. S4 is EUCON-based and supports Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, and Studio One. Pro Tools integration is the deepest.
Can I add fader modules later?
Yes. The S4 is fully modular. Start with 8 faders and add 8-fader modules later as your room scales.
Do you handle install?
Yes. VK pre-configures every S4 surface, EUCON-tests the rig, and offers on-site install for commercial rooms.
