Since Robe picked up Avolites at the end of 2023, the UK console maker has been busy rethinking what a compact Titan-powered rig looks like. The D3 family is the result — five products that slot in from entry-level club and rehearsal work all the way up to festival touring, installations, and architectural control. It’s a deliberate attempt to cover more ground without watering down the Titan experience operators already know.

The range spans two standalone consoles (the D3-010 and D3-110), a fader wing, a 1U rack processor, and a touch-panel remote — meaning you can build out a rig to match the gig rather than buying more console than you need. The D3-010 handles 8 universes, the D3-110 jumps to 24. Both run full Titan. If you’ve ever wished Avo made something that didn’t require a wheeled case, this is the answer.

UK lighting and visual control manufacturer Avolites launches a fresh new range of D-Series control consoles – the D3 – uniting power, performance and portability, in a family of five compact, stylish and fully-featured packages.

The D3 family has been developed for a world that is constantly on the move, also underlining a new and innovative approach from Avolites since becoming ‘A Robe Business’ at the end of 2023.

Smart design and engineering and expedient sizing are at the heart of the D3 series philosophy.

The D3-010, D3-110, D3 Wing, D3 Core and D3 Touch are all powered by Avolites’ Titan software, offering cost-efficient, intuitive programming and operation, coupled with flexible control for multiple lighting solutions.

The D3 family presents a clear strategic vision. It makes quality lighting and visual control more widely available to a greater range of operators, technicians and projects, thanks to Avolites’ ‘learn it once’ approach to software development.

D3-010

Small, self-contained and affordable, this entry-level stand-alone D3 product handles up to 8 universes of DMX control without needing a laptop, offering full programming via 10 faders, 3 encoder wheels and 12 Macro buttons.

An external monitor is quickly added to access the power and flexibility of Avo’s stable Titan processing, and a D3 Wing effortlessly expands the surface with more faders if needed.

D3-010 is ideal for clubs, mobile rigs and events, or for freelancers wanting to travel light but without compromising on functionality. It is also a perfect size for ‘tech’ desks needed in rehearsal spaces or pre-production prep scenarios.

D3-110

Powered by Avolites Titan, this console is perfect for larger shows, with 24 DMX universes of precision control, inbuilt touch screen, serious processing and speed, and that Avolites fingertip ergonomics. The D3-110 is a great option for festivals, gigs, performance and dance shows, plus rental and touring fleets across all sectors.

The console is robustly engineered and ready for action, delivering optimum performance in a stylish and streamlined case, with a mixture of USB A and C ports for file transfer, device control and systems integration.

It is a great option for small to medium sized venues that have small FOH footprints and for high-spec rental enterprises needing full adaptability and rapid deployment.

D3 Wing

This adds 20 high-quality faders to D3-010 and D3-110 workflows for more hands-on and physical control during live playback as well as during cue stacking and speed programming. Aesthetically, the D3 Wing seamlessly matches the elegance of the D3 range, complete with the same lines, angles, finishes and cool ‘Avo red’ LED scheme. It is road-ready and install-friendly.

Occupying minimal real estate, it brings maximum flexibility to the control space for media layers and effects. The D3 Wing steps up the game without needing to replace the console.

D3 Core

This is a D3 processor in a neat 1U rack-mounted version running Titan, bringing versatility and control practicality to installations, remote controlled shows and space-challenged locations. Applications include control rooms, theme parks, attractions, museums, theatres and AV environments where long-running pre-scheduled shows are timecode triggered.

D3 Touch

The D3 Touch is a straightforward, pre-configured Titan remote control interface for use with any D3 product, targeted at venue and installation markets where daily operators need simple access and guaranteed reliability. It enables non-technical staff to switch on/off anything from looped show playbacks to house light presets, from cleaning lights to architectural schemes.
