Avolites Quartz - 16-Universe Lighting Console with 4 x 5-Pin XLR Outputs and 1 x 12.1-inch Touchscreen in Gray Finish

The Avolites Quartz is a highly versatile 16-universe lighting console designed for both portability and performance, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications, from touring and festivals to clubs and one-off events. This compact console package (31-01-2210 P) includes the Quartz console itself, along with a dust cover and a Littlite for enhanced visibility during operation. With its bright and vibrant 12.1-inch touchscreen, the Quartz offers an intuitive interface that allows users to harness the full power of the Titan software wherever they go.

Measuring just 16.73 inches (42.5 cm) wide, the Quartz is Avolites' smallest full-featured console, yet it doesn't compromise on quality or functionality. It features 10 playback faders, each designed for precision control, and 20 macro/executor buttons that enable quick execution of frequently used cues or effects. The console is also equipped with three high-quality optical encoder wheels, allowing for detailed adjustments of various parameters, enhancing the user's ability to manage complex lighting designs effectively.

The Quartz is built for the road, featuring the same high-quality faders and robust hardware that Avolites is known for. It includes solid-state internal storage for reliable performance and minimal maintenance, ensuring that lighting professionals can count on it in demanding environments. The console's design allows it to function seamlessly as a backup or additional programming surface, significantly reducing programming time by enabling multi-user compatibility. This feature is particularly beneficial during large productions where multiple technicians may be working on different aspects of the lighting setup.

One of the standout capabilities of the Quartz is its support for multi-band sound-to-light triggering, introduced in Titan version 9. This feature allows the console to respond dynamically to audio inputs, providing a more immersive experience for audiences by synchronizing lighting effects with sound. The Quartz can be expanded with the optional Mobile Fader Wing for additional control, and it supports one additional touchscreen, allowing for even greater flexibility in complex setups.

Connectivity is comprehensive, with 4 x Neutrik 5-pin XLR outputs that are optically isolated to ensure clean signal transmission. The console includes a single 1Gb Ethercon port for networking, along with two USB 3.0 ports (one front-panel mounted and one rear-mounted) for data and peripheral connections. For visual output, the Quartz supports an external display via DVI-D with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. MIDI input is available through a 5-pin DIN connector, and audio triggering is facilitated via a 1/4-inch stereo jack, providing multiple ways to integrate the Quartz with other equipment.

Powered by the Avolites Titan software platform, the Quartz supports up to 8,192 DMX channels per device and a total of 32,768 channels in a system, accommodating an unlimited number of fixtures. Its built-in 3D visualization capture engine enhances planning and programming capabilities, while the keyframe effect engine allows for the creation of custom effects with any number of keyframes. The console also supports pixel mapping for animation-based control and video integration via the Synergy platform, as well as external control through Web API, MIDI, DMX, and sACN.

Physically, the Quartz measures 16.73 x 18.34 x 7.63 inches and weighs just 17.6 lbs, making it highly portable and easy to transport. When packed in its flight case, which measures 20.47 x 18.89 x 11.81 inches and weighs 34.43 lbs, it remains protected during travel. The console operates efficiently with a power consumption of 80W and can function within a voltage range of 110-240VAC at 50/60Hz. Designed to operate in a variety of conditions, the Quartz works effectively in environments with temperatures ranging from 32°F to 104°F and can withstand up to 95% relative humidity without condensing.

In summary, the Avolites Quartz is a compact, full-featured lighting console that combines powerful performance with portability. Its extensive capabilities, user-friendly interface, and robust design make it an excellent choice for lighting professionals seeking flexibility and reliability in diverse production settings.
