Blueparrot Events - ETC Ion
Providing fully integrated control of conventional and moving lights, ETC's Ion packs a punch.
Elegant, highly intuitive and simple to use, Ion will satisfy the needs of beginners and pros alike. But you don’t need a PhD in Ion to use it! Start with the everyday (channel 5 at full) and let the full potential of Ion – like the powerful effects package, marking and timing functions – unfold with your experience. And it’s an easy step from Ion to Eos.
Ion sports a generous programming keypad, dedicated encoders for non-intensity parameter control, a grand master and blackout button, as well as a master split fader. For more hands on control, the Ion also has a 2 x 20 fader wing (included in the hire price). The desk can support one or two external high-resolution DVI monitors, which can also be touchscreens (not included in the hire price, but available as extra's).
