Avolites launches new range of D3 consoles

Avolites, a Robe Business, launches a new range of compact D-Series control consoles - the D3. According to the UK lighting and visual control manufacturer, the D3 family - comprising five models - has been developed “for a world that is constantly on the move”.

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 control for multiple lighting solutions. With the D3 family, Avolites aims to make lighting and visual control more widely available to a greater range of operators, technicians and projects, due to Avolites’ “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 D3-010, a small, self-contained entry-level D3 product, handles up to eight universes of DMX control without needing a laptop, offering programming via ten faders, three encoder wheels and twelve Macro buttons. An external monitor can be added to access Avo’s Titan processing, and a D3 Wing expands the surface with more faders if needed. D3-010 is suitable for clubs, mobile rigs and events, or for freelancers wanting to travel light. It is also designed for “tech” desks needed in rehearsal spaces or pre-production prep scenarios.

The D3-110 is suitable for larger shows, with 24 DMX universes of control, inbuilt touch screen, and Avolites fingertip ergonomics. The D3-110 is an option for festivals, gigs, performance and dance shows, plus rental and touring fleets across all sectors. The console is robustly engineered and comes in a streamlined case, with a mixture of USB-A and USB-C ports for file transfer, device control and systems integration.

The D3 Wing adds twenty 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. It is designed to be road-ready and install-friendly. Occupying minimal real estate, it brings flexibility to the control space for media layers and effects.

The D3 Core is a D3 processor in a 1U rack mounted version, bringing control practicality to installations, remote controlled shows and space-challenged locations. Applications may include control rooms, theme parks, attractions, museums, theatres and AV environments where long-running pre-scheduled shows are timecode triggered.

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, particularly those where daily operators need simple access. It enables non-technical staff to switch on/off anything from looped show playbacks to house light presets, from cleaning lights to architectural schemes.
