Modular

Fairlight Consoles


The modular Fairlight consoles make it easier to perform audio editing, recording, and mixing tasks by providing professional audio controls for nearly every function and feature in the DaVinci Resolve Fairlight page.

Additionally, using a Fairlight console to control the Fairlight page is vastly more efficient and ergonomic than working with a traditional mouse and keyboard. This is especially important when your audio post-production job requires long hours doing complex, focused, and often repetitive work.
