Ion Xe Control Console

The Ion Xe is the compact workhorse of the Eos family.  Featuring the same backlit keyboard layout and full-feature software as its bigger siblings, this little desk brings professional programming power to any venue.  Ion Xe can integrate into a system with all other Eos family products, and you can transition between desks with ease.

The Ion Xe is available in either 2,048 or 12,288 outputs, and provides support for up to two external monitors.  As with any Eos family desk, you can always further expand your fader count with virtual faders or Eos Fader Wings.  Looking for more hands-on control in the same package? The Ion Xe 20 features an onboard fader bank that includes 20 pageable faders and a built-in display for fader content.
