Avolites - T3

The new T3 (and relative Wing) console boasts the primacy of being the lightest, portable, small and beautiful console in the design that has ever been produced by Avolites.
It shares the new design seen for the first time on Diamond 9 and together with Wing forms an unbeatable portable control surface. The new T3 is the top product of the T series based on PC, which includes T1 and T2 and now updates with T3 and T3-Wing. T3 combines a design approach focused on the user with high quality materials and components, proving to be a definitive tool for each lighting designer or operator in the sector, even in the years to come. 

The new T3 has been designed for rapid programming and accurate performance in a super-portable format: it is characterized by the high constructive quality and a family ergonomy. Users can thus afford to buy, program, transport and easily use the console in all their shows, whatever the requirements of the program. 

The fundamental difference of the new T3 is not only visual change, but also the arrangement of the buttons; beside having a lower height profile and being lighter than 20% than the previous model, it boasts the same robustness.

The main features of this small console include 3 rotary optical encoders for precise control of the attributes, 9 new Titan keys to adapt to the D9 layout, 10 reproduction faders (which become 30 with T3-Wing!), 12 macro buttons / Executor (M1 - M12) for rapid access to the macro, 20 C & K flash buttons with Custom Cap, 92 Cherry MX keys with low profile with blue backlight and integrated avokey safety. 

T3 and T3-Wing are powered via the USB-C port and use 4 DMX ports and an LTC port to connect the system to the complete system. The console sends up to 16 DMX universes from the Host PC via Art-Net and sACN, with the update option to 32 or 64 universes if necessary (the Titan Net processors are required).

The new T3 was designed in every detail to become the favorite console by the lighting designers. For this reason, it is destined to attract a wide range of users, from students, enthusiasts and freelancers to producers of events and shows. Giving these lighting professionals the possibility of inspired creative control, allows them to create, program and control their shows everywhere. Also on the road, the Poluretan customized cases with which T3 and T3-Wing are provided allow you to insert the units in a standard PC backpack together with a 15” laptop and contain the weight well below the limit of 15 kg for hand luggage on air travel. T3 weighs, in fact, only 3 kg and T3-Wing 2.6 kg!
