Eos Apex 20 Control Console

• Mar. 20^th — Lead time on shipping Apex 20 is estimated at 20 weeks *  once the factory is given an order (which will also secure your place in line).
• * Due to the rapidly changing situation, lead time can change within hours of an update.  Sometimes it can be extended due to supply chain issues like delayed/missing packages of critical parts.

The Eos Apex 20 console is engineered for comfort and customization, with generous programming surfaces and the power to run complex lighting and media rigs. As the largest and most luxurious of ETC's flagship lighting control line, the Eos Apex 20 is the ultimate hands-on, professional workspace — powered by the award-winning Eos control software.

Apex hardware is designed to remain state-of-the-art for years to come.  Top-of-the-line features include customizable Target keys for Direct Selects, a built-in soft keypad, book lights for paperwork, a dual-axis folding display panel, and generous encoder tools for LEDs, moving lights, and media control.  The Eos Apex 20 offers more playbacks than any other Eos Family console, providing tactile rig control for even the largest venues and productions.
