Overview
Affordable and easy to use, the ETC Element 2 Console provides generous hands-on control for smaller rigs. Element streamlines your show file with a single cue list while allowing access to a wealth of advanced control features below the surface. Ideal for amateur and professional operators alike, Element 2 provides the experience of a classic fader-intensive lighting desk combined with the powerful Eos engine – including award-winning color tools and the Augment3d 3D-programming and visualization environment.
Designed for venues using primarily conventional lighting, the Element 2 control console provides the powerful features of the Eos system in an economical and simplified package. In addition to keypad commands, true LTP Channel Faders provide hands-on control of intensity and can be used to set manual levels and edit recorded cues and submasters. Virtual moving light controls are available to facilitate the use of conventional accessories like moving mirror heads, color scrollers or gobo rotators, or to make controlling small numbers of moving lights simple and direct. Element 2 can be backed up by another Element 2, ETCnomad 6,144 or ETC Puck 6,144 mini-computer.
