The Fairlight Live Audio Panel 10 is a desktop control surface for live audio mixing with Fairlight Live software, combining 10 motorised flying faders with a single 11.6-inch 1920 x 1080 touchscreen. Every channel carries its own multi-function rotary knob with an LED ring plus select, solo and mute buttons, backed by 10 contextual knobs and buttons that follow whatever is shown on the focus and view screens — a footprint sized for home studios and small suites.

Fairlight Live software scales from one channel to thousands

The included Fairlight Live software scales to hundreds and even thousands of input channels, each with 6-band EQ, expander/gate, compressor, limiter and format-based panning. Thirty native plug-ins are built in alongside support for third-party VST and AU effects, with four plug-in slots per channel expanding to 24 through ChainFX. Up to 128 VCA groups and eight matrix output mixes handle broadcast bussing, and the touchscreen shows channel strips, levels, EQ, dynamics and plug-in interfaces.

Dedicated keypads for rehearsal, cues and full recall

Dedicated keypads run the player/recorder for capturing rehearsals and virtual sound checks, alongside a cue player with 16 audio cues for jingles and stingers plus 16 MIDI cues for triggering external devices. Snapshots store and recall the entire mixer state, talkback covers four groups plus direct-to-channel and all — using the built-in microphone or a 5-pin XLR headset — and the On Air button locks the panel mid-broadcast.

Broadcast-standard IP connectivity

Audio and video run as SMPTE 2110 IP over two 10G RJ45 Ethernet connections with PTP clock synchronisation, alongside a mic-level XLR input and two line-level XLR outputs on the panel, with USB-C and 1G Ethernet for the computer connection. Fairlight Live also links to ATEM switchers for direct control and audio exchange, with audio-follows-video across up to 100 cameras. An HDMI Type A output carries HD or Ultra HD monitoring up to 2160p60, powered from a single internal 100-240V AC supply or a 4-pin XLR 12V DC input for external supply or battery operation.
