Hello all -
Getting ready to buy an ETC ion Xe and need to decide what to buy re faders and monitors.
Fader choices:
Ion Xe alone (no faders)
Ion Xe20 with 20 non-motorized faders built in
Ion Xe with separate Eos motorized 20-fader wing
Ion Xe with separate Eos 20 non-motorized fader wing
We're a school, and tend to either do full theatre productions or concerts with pre-programmed cues, or static events like lectures or meetings which are often set-and-forget using looks we've already set up. There is virtually no one doing lighting live, on the fly, to music or dance, whether in-house or visiting.
Another consideration: during performances, we need to move the console to a fairly small desk for running the show, so it would be good for the setup to not be too bulky.
Given our set-up and circumstances, which fader approach would you recommend, and why?
Monitor needs:
(2) touchscreen
I'd also love some recommendations re touchscreen monitors to use with the Ion Xe. Again, no room for giant monitors, but they should have a good picture and solid touch response.
Thanks for your thoughts.
