About the InnovaSon SY80
The InnovaSon SY80 is a Grand Live Digital Audio Console designed for live sound touring, fixed installation and broadcast applications. Its defining feature is a flexible 80-fader layout where each fader can be assigned as an input channel (mono or stereo), mixing bus, VCA group, subgroup, aux master or matrix, making it adaptable to front-of-house, IEM and stage monitoring, theatre and recording or live broadcast configurations. The steel-chassis console measures 1650x305x860mm and weighs 80kg, housing 80 motorized faders, 80 VU-meters, 80 cue, mute and select switches, a 15-inch TFT screen and full redundancy power supply. Central audio processing is handled by six Shark DSP engines rated at 1200 Mflops each. The companion audio rack accepts up to eight I/O extension modules, with optional Stage Box and DIO interface providing a 100Mb/s EtherSound link and 64-channel digital snake capability. Sensoft software drives the system from an embedded Pentium-compatible CPU.
InnovaSon SY80 — buyer FAQs
What is the InnovaSon SY80 and what applications is it designed for?
The InnovaSon SY80 is a Grand Live Digital Audio Console built for live sound touring, fixed installation and broadcast applications. Its 80 fully assignable motorized faders can each be configured as an input channel, mixing bus, VCA group, subgroup, aux master or matrix, making the desk equally suited to front-of-house mixing, IEM and stage monitoring, theatre and recording or live broadcast workflows.
How does the fader and processing architecture of the SY80 work?
Each of the SY80's 80 motorized faders can be defined as a mono or stereo input channel, an LCR bus, a VCA group, subgroup, aux master or matrix. Audio processing is handled by six Shark DSP engines, each rated at 1200 Mflops, giving the console substantial headroom for large-scale productions. The desk also carries 80 VU-meters and 80 cue, mute and select switches across its 1650x305x860mm steel chassis.
What I/O expansion options does the SY80 support?
The SY80's companion audio rack accepts up to eight I/O extension modules. An optional Stage Box provides a 64-channel digital snake, and a DIO interface adds an EtherSound link at 100Mb/s along with DioCore sharing and control. The rack itself is a 19-inch 7U unit and connects to the console via the MC64 controller and Stage Box link module.
What should I check when buying a used InnovaSon SY80?
Confirm how the 80 faders are currently assigned and whether the Sensoft software configuration suits your workflow. Check that the redundant power supply operates correctly on both feeds, that the 15-inch TFT screen is fully functional and that any I/O extension modules present are accounted for. At 80kg the console is substantial, so verify transport condition and chassis integrity. Listings on this page carry a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults; the buying guide at 10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide covers the full process.
Who makes the SY80 and where does it sit in the product range?
The SY80 is made by InnovaSon and sits at the large-format end of their live console lineup under the Grand Live designation. It runs InnovaSon's own Sensoft software and uses the brand's proprietary audio module system, meaning I/O cards and Stage Box hardware are InnovaSon-specific components designed to integrate directly with the SY80 platform.
