Avolites Diamond 9 215

FEATURES

The new Avolites Diamond D9-215 is a more compact version of the flagship lighting controller in the new Avolites range, the D9-330. Building on four decades of experience in the most demanding shows, the Avolites Diamond 9-215 represents an impressive evolution for production control.
Created in collaboration with leading lighting and industrial designers, the D9-215 is ready for the next generation of shows, and beyond. With extensive screen space, entirely new controls, and unique media integration, it intuitively combines control of all visual aspects of the show. Handcrafted in London, it builds on Avolites' heritage of quality and reliability.
This console uses touch-sensitive Penny & Giles motorized faders, high-resolution optical rotary faders, and short-travel flash buttons with positive tactile control for perfect timing. You can define the colors of the Fader and Encoder level indicators to make grouping even easier and quickly recognize controls when it matters. Each fader incorporates an 11-segment RGB level indicator that follows the halo color of the playback: particularly useful on rotary faders when swapping pages. And more… additional macro buttons with dedicated screen, right in the playback section, flash buttons below the faders, perfectly aligned labeling, page banks for each section.
For super smooth transitions, a T-bar is used, offering more refined control with even smoother manual fades. Combined with the unique Scene Master functionality, it offers maximum creativity. With its contactless design, the fader remains precise as ever, even after years of use. The Scene Master function is complemented by a double-width Commit button and four additional control buttons, plus a dedicated LCD screen for continuous status data. With 2 motorized faders, 8 control buttons, and a Go button, theatrical cue list performance is at your fingertips.
