Avolites - T3 Bundle

Bundle including the T3 lighting console and the AvoKey A3+ USB-C dongle.

T3

The T3 (and its Wing) boasts the distinction of being the lightest, most portable, smallest, and most beautifully designed consoles Avolites has ever produced.
It shares the new design first seen on the Diamond 9 and, together with the Wing, forms an unbeatable portable control surface. The new T3 is the flagship product in the PC-based T Series, which includes the T1 and T2 and is now updated with the T3 and T3-Wing. The T3 combines a user-centric design approach with high-quality materials and components, proving to be the definitive tool for any lighting designer or operator, for years to come.

The new T3 is designed for rapid programming and accurate performance in a super-portable format: it features high-quality construction and familiar ergonomics. Users can now easily purchase, program, transport, and use the console for all their shows, regardless of venue or program requirements.

The key difference of the new T3 isn't just the visual change, but also the button layout; while it has a lower profile and is 20% lighter than the previous model, it boasts the same robustness.

The key features of this small console include 3 optical rotary encoders for precise attribute control, 9 new Titan keys to match the D9 layout, 10 playback faders (which increases to 30 with the T3-Wing!), 12 Macro/Executor buttons (M1 - M12) for quick access to macros, 20 C&K flash buttons with custom caps, 92 low-profile Cherry MX keys with blue backlighting, and integrated AVOKey security.

The 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 entire rig. The console sends up to 16 DMX universes from the host PC via Art-Net and sACN, with the option to upgrade to 32 or 64 universes if needed (Titan net processors required).

The new T3 has been designed down to the smallest detail to become the console of choice for lighting designers. For this reason, it is destined to appeal to a wide range of users, from students, enthusiasts, and freelancers to event and show producers. Giving these lighting professionals the ability to create, program, and control their shows from anywhere. Even when traveling, the custom polyurethane cases that come with the T3 and T3-Wing allow the units to fit in a standard PC backpack along with a 15" laptop, keeping the weight well below the 15 kg carry-on limit for air travel. The T3 weighs just 3 kg and the T3-Wing 2.6 kg!

A3+

The AvoKey A3+ is the Avolites USB-C dongle that enables Titan PC Suite with the highest control capability in the AvoKey range. It provides 4096 Titan channels, 3 Prism Outputs, and 8192 DMX Pixels, offering an ideal programming environment for complex shows, large rigs, and professional productions. The A3+ supports Avolites Wings and includes WebAPI (D3 Touch) for advanced remote control. The dongle enables Titan PC Suite via a USB-C connection and is tied to a single console.
