At the Association of British Theatre Technicians Show, (ABTT), happening this week in London England, Cooper Controls and Zero 88 are gearing up to announce the next console in the ORB series of consoles.  The new desk, the ORB XF is designed for professional users requiring hands on live control. Taking the key operating philosophies of ORB, ORB XF adds fader control for intensity channels and live submaster playback, making it ideal for control of live events. Combining theatrical syntax and an interactive hardware platform, ORB XF provides intuitive control of both generic dimmers and moving lights.

Additional information about the ORB XF is still in the works and is expected to be announced before ABTT opens on Wednesday, June 16.
