Monkey Baa has just moved into the Lend Lease Darling Quarter Theatre which is equipped with an ETC Ion lighting control console. When production and operations manager Toby Knyvett needed to specify a console for touring, he chose an ETC Element console.
"The ETC Eos/Ion/Element family of consoles is definitely offer the best control products for the Australian theatre sector at the moment," Knyvett commented. "They are what many theatre venues are moving towards."
Designed to handle lighting systems outfitted predominantly with conventional fixtures while accommodating LED fixtures and/or a small number of simple moving lights, the Element console is based on the Eos control system with a simplified feature set similar to the Express console.
The Lendlease Darling Quarter Theatre is equipped with a JBL line array system, an ETC Ion control console, ETC Source Four conventional fixtures and ETC Selador LED's.
