Custom FOH Workstation For Avid S6L-32D Console


This custom Front of House (FOH) production workstation was designed and manufactured by LM Cases to accommodate an Avid VENUE S6L-32D digital mixing console in a theater environment. Built as a mobile house audio control station, the workstation integrates the mixing console, rack-mounted equipment, computer monitors, keyboard storage, and accessory drawers into a single, self-contained system.

Unlike a traditional console road case, this workstation is designed to remain assembled and ready for operation. Its mobile construction allows venue personnel to easily position the house console for performances or relocate the entire workstation when visiting productions bring their own mixing equipment.

The main work surface is constructed from 3/4" Baltic birch plywood and features a custom 5.25" deep rear doghouse designed to conceal the console's local connections and organize cabling. The doghouse features a hinged access lid with double-knuckle hinges, allowing the lid to fold completely open against the rear panel for convenient access to the console's connections.

Two fully articulating Ergotron monitor arms are installed on opposite sides of the console, providing adjustable display positioning for audio monitoring, system control, and other production applications. The workstation also incorporates retaining rails along the sides of the console position to help prevent equipment movement when the workstation is transported throughout the venue.

A pull-out keyboard shelf is positioned directly below the mixing console. Constructed from 3/4" Baltic birch plywood, the shelf features a black Formica work surface with protective rubber T-molding around its perimeter. Heavy-duty Accuride drawer slides provide smooth operation while allowing the keyboard to be conveniently stored when not in use.

Below the work surface are two independent 14RU equipment rack bays, providing a combined 28RU of rack space for audio processing, networking, wireless systems, and other production equipment. Each rack section features an overall depth of 34.75" with 20" between the front and rear mounting rails. The front rails are recessed approximately 8", while the rear rails are recessed approximately 6.5" to accommodate installed equipment and cable connections. Each rack bay features a ventilated, hinged rear access door equipped with slam latches for convenient service access.

Three full-depth storage drawers are positioned between the rack sections for organizing cables, microphones, adapters, and other essential production accessories. Each drawer is constructed from 1/2" Baltic birch plywood, finished with black texture coating, and mounted on heavy-duty Accuride drawer slides. The drawers feature carpet-lined interiors with usable dimensions of 21.5" wide x 6.375" high x 21.75" deep.

A removable 3/8" clear Lexan front panel protects the rack equipment and storage drawers when the workstation is not in use, while allowing the installed equipment to remain visible.

The workstation is constructed from 3/4" Baltic birch plywood and finished with a durable black texture coating. Black recessed Penn Elcom handles provide convenient handling, while six 3.5" Colson Poly Hi-Tech casters allow the workstation to be maneuvered around the venue.

Designed specifically around the requirements of a theater's house audio system, this workstation demonstrates LM Cases' ability to create purpose-built production furniture that combines equipment integration, organized storage, and mobility. The result is a complete FOH control station that provides the functionality of a permanent installation with the flexibility of a mobile production system.
