avolite pearl tiger

[marklong]

hi all,

 

my college has just got an avolite pearl tiger lighting desk and I was playing about on it with a couple of martin mac250s and really fancy getting one myself.

 

I plan on using it for doing band lighting, at present I only have 4 martin mini macs, 4 518s, 4 812s, a few par 56 cans and a few led cans. but plan on puting any money I make from doing gigs into getting more gear.

 

so where can I get one? also what price will I be looking at paying? new and 2nd hand. or am I going down the wrong track and is there a diffrent lighting controler out there that I should be looking at?

 

thanks in advance,

 

mark

I'd recommend AC Lighting, but they will be available from any of the major suppliers. Expect around £4k list.

 

It's very capable and with proven hardware/software. Whether it's right might depend more on whether it's within your budget. They probably haven't been around long enough for there to be many used options.

Available direct from AVO, speak the right people you can get them for between 3-4k. If you're a big buyer then expect more like 2k, but I doubt you're buying that much.

chances of a second hand one are slim as they have only been out since 2007

 

try 10 out of 10. they're nice people

Alternatively, if the price is prohibitive, look into the cheaper Avos. Something like the Azure 2000. (list £3k). They've also been around longer so might be easier to find 2nd hand.

 

From what I understand it's pretty much the same software just with less buttons/fixtures (still ample for your purposes and with room for growth).

 

It's also waterproof...
