ETC Ion 1000 With Fader Wing

Power in a portable package

Highly intuitive and simple to use, Ion will satisfy the needs of beginners and pros alike. But you don’t need a PhD in Ion to use it! Start with the everyday (channel 5 at full) and let the full potential of Ion – like the powerful effects package, marking and timing functions – unfold with your experience. And it’s an easy step from Ion to Gio @5, Gio® or Eos Ti™, so the knowledge gained will work for you professionally for years to come.

Ion sports a generous programming keypad, four dedicated encoders for non-intensity parameter control, a grand master and blackout button, as well as a master split fader. For more hands-on control, Ion hosts up to six USB fader wings – the 2×10 and 2×20 – for a total of 300 additional mapped submasters or 200 cue lists with paging controls. The desk can support one or two external high-resolution Windows® 7-compatible monitors that can also be touch- or multi-touch screens.

Ion starts at 1,024 outputs and can expand to 6,144 outputs. Both of these versions support 16,000 channels, which can be numbered from 1 to 99,999.

Use Ion in a stand-alone system or as a remote programming station for a larger system.
