From small auditoriums and houses of worship to experimental venues and touring shows, Ion-class lighting control consoles are the compact workhorses of the Eos Family. With the same backlit keyboard layout and full-featured software as their Gio- and Apex-class siblings – and the option of hands-on fader control – Ion Xe consoles give you the full Eos experience in a budget-friendly and portable package.
