Avolites Diamond 9 330

FEATURES

The Diamond D9-330 is the flagship lighting console in the Avolites range. Drawing on four decades of experience in the most demanding shows, the Avolites Diamond 9-330 represents an impressive evolution in production control.
Created in collaboration with leading lighting and industrial designers, the D9-330 is ready for the next generation of shows, and beyond. With vast screen space, all-new controls, and unique multimedia 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. The colors of the Fader and Encoder level indicators can be defined 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 a dedicated screen, right in the playback section, flashing buttons below the faders, perfectly aligned labeling, and page banks for each section.

For super smooth transitions, a T-bar is used, which offers 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 as 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.

Ultimate Programming Surface

Born from 40 years of experience in lighting control, designed with an eye on the future, the D9's programming surface features: 3 x 4.3" preview touchscreens, ideal for media, ensuring that the main screens remain clear for maximum information density, 5 attribute wheels with optical encoders and RGB LED indicators, plus a vertical level wheel, put more parameters than ever at your fingertips, ergonomically designed controls, a T-bar, and 72 illuminated programming keys. The carefully selected Cherry MX Low Profile keys, with RGB backlighting, offer optimal tactile feedback with low fatigue for programming sessions. All are integrated with Avolite's proprietary Titan software.
