AM I THE ONLY AVO GUY ON HERE?????
Most likely. This is more of a
theatre forum, thus all the
Strand and
ETC console users. Avolite consoles are more of old school rock and
roll consoles. I have only ever seen them on rock and
roll tours, and that's it. Everyone that I have ever asked about them hates them, so I have never tried using on for this reason. How about the fact that they know the grand master slider goes bad on them, and they have a setting in the
console (not sure which model) for the GM, "On or Broken". You know there is an issue with it and yet refuse to fix the hardware, instead they patch the software for a cheap work around. That is something that really bugs me.
Now I can't speak from experience myself on Avolite consoles, this is just what I have seen/heard. I am by no means bashing it, minus the GM comment, and not saying it is a good or bad
console.
derekleffew asked which
console you use the most, not like the most. I can tell you I like to use the
Jands Vista the most, I just don't very often because it crashes. I also love using
ETC's for
theatre, even mover heavy
theatre, again it's a preference. For corporate, I like a Hog 3, IPC, or Roadhog now that the software is more stable. This is why I take the Hog over the Vista. They work well, and also look nice when sitting around clients. They have a clean, uniform look to them. I like the Ma, but yellow on gray sticks out, and the gray doesn't look as nice as the blue on a Hog 3. Everything has to be pretty when I work corporate stuff, consoles included.
