Avolites Launches New Range of D3 ConsolesAvolites launches a fresh new range of D-Series control consoles -- the D3. The D3-010, D3-110, D3 Wing, D3 Core, and D3 Touch are all powered by Avolites' Titan software, offering intuitive programming and operation, coupled with flexible control for multiple lighting solutions. "The D3 family presents a clear strategic vision," the company says. "It makes quality lighting and visual control more widely available to a greater range of operators, technicians and projects, thanks to Avolites' highly tangible 'learn it once' approach to software development." The D3 range was launched via a live streamed event, presented by Avolites' product and marketing manager Jon Hole, UK and Ireland territory manager Sarah O'Gorman and product manager for Avolites Germany, Tim Ehm, and is now available as a VOD resource through Avolites' YouTube channel. The D3 product handles up to eight universes of DMX control without needing a laptop, offering full programming via ten faders, three encoder wheels and 12 Macro buttons. An external monitor is quickly added to access the power and flexibility of Avo's stable Titan processing, and a D3 Wing (see below) effortlessly expands the surface with more faders if needed. D3-010 is designed for clubs, mobile rigs and events, or for freelancers wanting to travel light but without compromising on functionality. It is also a suitable size for "tech" desks needed in rehearsal spaces or pre-production prep scenarios. Powered by Avolites Titan, this console is well-suited for larger shows, with 24 DMX universes of precision control, inbuilt touch screen, some serious processing and speed and that fantastic Avolites fingertip ergonomics. The D3-110 is designed option for festivals, gigs, performance and dance shows, plus rental and touring fleets across all sectors. The console is robustly engineered and ready for action, with a mixture of USB A and C ports for file transfer, device control and systems integration. It is a great option for small to medium sized venues that have small front-of-house footprints and for high-spec rental enterprises needing full adaptability and rapid deployment. This adds 20 high-quality faders to D3-010 and D3-110 workflows for more hands-on and physical control during live playback as well as during cue stacking and speed programming. Aesthetically, the D3 Wing seamlessly matches the elegance of the D3 range, complete with the same lines, angles, finishes and cool "Avo red" LED scheme. It is road-ready and install-friendly. The D3 Touch is a pre-configured Titan remote control interface for use with any D3 product, and is targeted at venue and installation markets. It enables non-technical staff to switch on / off anything from looped show playbacks to house light presets, from cleaning lights to architectural schemes. The user-friendly plug-and-play D3 Touch integrates Titan with a specially designed interface, making it well-suited for and hands-off lighting control. The Avolites' D3 family will be prominent on Booth #C28 at the PLASA London expo in Olympia in September.
