Experience comprehensive live mixing control with the Blackmagic Design Fairlight Live Audio Panel 20, featuring twenty motorized faders and two expansive touchscreen displays. This intuitive desktop panel is engineered for broadcast studios, mid-sized live events, and professional audio post facilities, seamlessly integrating with Fairlight Live software. Instead of relying on repetitive mouse clicks, you gain tangible, responsive mixing power for every channel, bus, matrix, aux, VCA, sub-master, and talkback control exactly where you need it during active production.
Tactile Control Built for Live Production
Motorized faders on the panel deliver real-time feedback as you make mix adjustments, streamlining the decision-making process during intricate live shows. Two large touchscreens show channel strip details, EQ curves, dynamics processing, and plugin interfaces over each set of 10 faders, ensuring vital mix information stays visible without frequent view changes or navigating multiple windows.
Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts
Fairlight Live offers in-depth keyboard shortcut customization, enabling instant access to cue player control, routing updates, system configurations, audio follows video, generators, talkback mic routing, snapshot recall, and view management. In busy broadcast settings, you can trigger a snapshot, adjust routing, and launch a cue all from the keyboard, maintaining a fluid show pace without pausing to search through menus.
Remote Control for Multiple Operators
Supporting both primary and backup engines, the system allows two remote control machines to operate simultaneously. This enables you to delegate sections of the mix to remote operators, who can update designated channels or parameters in real time. Sync status indicators and dedicated talkback functions keep coordination efficient. This setup is ideal for live sports, sermons, or talk shows, where one operator manages the main program and another handles audience microphones or in-ear monitors from afar.
Third-Party Hardware Integration
Fairlight Live accommodates Mackie MCU controllers and OSC-based tablet apps, broadening mixing control options. Adjustments to faders, panning, mute, selection, PFL, AFL, metering, solo clear, undo/redo, banking, and control room volume are all supported, with OSC allowing aux send control for monitor mixes, remote front of house management, talkback commands, GPI triggers, and audio follows video. In live environments, this means a hardware controller can handle mixing, a producer can manage talkback from a tablet, and musicians can independently adjust their monitor mixes, enhancing flexibility and collaboration across the production.
