Blackmagic Fairlight Live Audio Panel 10

Professional Live Audio Control

The Blackmagic Design Fairlight Live Audio Panel 10 is a powerful hardware extension designed to streamline professional live audio workflows. Featuring 10 high-quality faders and a large integrated touchscreen, this panel provides a tactile interface for the Fairlight Live software. Engineers can view graphical displays of channel strips, levels, EQ, and dynamics processing, putting essential controls right at their fingertips for home studios or large-scale broadcasts.

Advanced Broadcast and IP Workflows

Built for modern production, the Fairlight Live system supports SMPTE 2110 audio integration for IP-based environments. With PTP clock synchronization and sample-level delay compensation, audio remains perfectly aligned with video streams. The panel allows for the management of thousands of audio channels, making it easy to handle complex projects ranging from stereo to immersive 5.1 surround and spatial audio formats.

Seamless ATEM and Plugin Support

Connectivity is effortless via USB-C or Thunderbolt, offering direct control and audio exchange with ATEM live production switchers. This integration supports Audio Follows Video (AFV) for up to 100 cameras and bi-directional microphone gain control. For creative processing, the system hosts up to 24 plugins per channel, supporting native Fairlight effects as well as third-party VST and AU plugins through the ChainFX architecture.

Reliability and Performance

Designed for the rigors of live broadcast, the Fairlight Live Audio Panel 10 includes features like Virtual Sound Check (VSC) for rehearsal and calibration. Snapshots allow for the instant recall of mixer states, while the built-in cue player manages jingles and MIDI triggers for external hardware. With support for 128 VCA groups and flexible redundancy levels, it ensures professional reliability for any live production.
