The Fairlight Desktop Console is an audio mixing control surface that lets you mix multiple tracks at once from a single desktop unit, part of the Fairlight panel family for DaVinci Resolve. The familiar mixer layout carries 12 motorised faders, touch sensitive encoder knobs and illuminated buttons, and the faders are extremely smooth to move with the right amount of resistance for subtle adjustments.

The controls cover pan, solo, mute, dynamics, EQ, plug-in parameters and more, so a full mix can be shaped without reaching for the mouse. Each channel strip has its own LCD showing meters, panning, track name and more, keeping the state of all 12 channels visible at a glance while you work.

An HDMI Type A output gives instant graphic feedback for all channels, buses and effects on any connected monitor, with video standards from 1080p23.98 through 1080p60. The console connects to the computer over USB-C or 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet, and the same USB-C port handles software configuration and updates.

Power comes from an internal 100-240V AC 50/60Hz supply with a standard IEC C14 mains input, drawing a maximum of 20W, so there is no external power brick under the desk. Operating range is 0° to 40°C with 0% to 90% non-condensing humidity, in line with the rest of the Fairlight panel range.
