Eos won the Product Award for Lighting at Showtech 2007, the control system's second such honour - last year it took the Product of the Year Award for debuting product when it was introduced at LDI. But the Showtech award was the first ever European award.
The SmartFade ML is designed for small touring acts, schools, product launches, corporate events and other applications, as it brings professional features like palettes, parameter "fan" and built-in dynamiceffects to novice and experienced users alike.
Also on the ETC stand will be the ETC Congo lighting control console, which among other installations, has recently been hired out by ETC dealer Northern Light for an Erick Morillo DJ dance night.
New accessories for the Eos, Congo, Congo jr and SmartFade ML desks will also feature. For Eos and Congo jr, the Universal Fader Wings will expand the quantity of faders available for greater hands-oncontrol of lights. The new Radio Focus Remote, with in-built display and encoders, brings full-featured wireless remote control to both the Eos andCongo control systems. For SmartFade ML, ETC will be showing the new, free, SmartSoft PC application which will allow users to add an On- and OffLineview and programming interface to the desk.
