Gio @5 Control Console

Gio @5 brings the high-end control of the larger Eos family consoles to venues with tighter spaces – or tighter budgets.  This portable console packs all the control necessities into a compact footprint, so external monitors and accessories are optional.  With an articulating, 17", multi-touch LCD display, five definable and page-able motorized faders and a master fader pair, Gio @5 is the perfect step up for Ion users who want expanded hands-on access to playbacks, color control, touchscreen Magic Sheets and more.

The console features the same full-function, backlit keyboard as the Eos Programming Wing and Gio console, providing an easy transition for experienced Eos users looking for a smaller desk – and a good platform for new programmers looking to gain professional skills that scale up.
