Each Fairlight LCD Monitor is paired with either Channel Control modules as a dedicated
channel control display, or the Audio Editing module as a dedicated DaVinci Resolve GUI edit
screen. Additionally, the switchable HDMI and SDI inputs on the back of each screen allow
flexible display of plug-ins and reference video.

display bridge across the top of the console.
Fairlight Console Configurations
The Fairlight console can be purchased with all the standard panels as a bundle, or customized
to meet specialized production requirements. With the Fairlight console’s unique modular
design, you always get the flexibility to place the Audio Editor, Infill module, and Channel
Component sets, in whichever order works best for you.
Each bundled console includes a console chassis ranging in size from 2-bay to 5-bay, an LCD
Monitor component for each bay, one Fairlight Audio Editor, and a set of Fairlight Channel bay
components for each additional bay. For custom configurations, you choose the chassis size,
and then purchase the console components individually.
Before purchasing a console, it is important to consider the size of your workspace as well as
your current and future audio post-production needs. For example, if you have a mid-sized
mixing stage and are primarily working on short-form projects like commercials and trailers, a
standard Fairlight Console 3-bay may work well. However, if you have the room, a customized
Fairlight Console 4-bay chassis may work better in the long run because you’ll also have room
to grow in the future for larger feature-length productions. Plus, empty console bays can be
filled with custom machined Fairlight Console Blanks that add valuable flat surface space for
assistant audio editors and mixers. Additionally, you can add a Fairlight Console LCD Monitor in
the 4th bay to display video playback or plug-ins, and even add a Fairlight Channel Rack Kit to
the channel section to mount standard 19-inch equipment such as the Fairlight Audio Interface
or Blackmagic Design Smart View duo to your bay.
