ETC

A global leader in the manufacturing of lighting and rigging technology, Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC) employs nearly 1400 people in 13 corporate offices around the world. ETC is proud of its industry reputation for unmatched technical and customer service, 24/7/365. And with a family of over 300 authorized service centers throughout the world, staffed by hundreds of certified technicians, customers are never far from an ETC resource with a face and a name.

Founded in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1975, ETC was begun with the passionate belief that there was a better way to make a lighting control console. A small group of university students challenged themselves by creating a microprocessor-based console that outdid other boards on the market at the time. That entrepreneurial spirit grew into an award-winning business.

Since its creation in 1975, ETC has grown into an international leader in events lighting technology. From control consoles and rigging hoists, to architectural lighting and fixtures, ETC provides the theatre and architectural industries with innovative solutions and products ... but what does that really mean? And how does it all work together? This seven-part video series helps explain just that, providing an overview of each different category of ETC products and how they fit into the events industry.

ETC develops professional tools and makes them accessible to everyone. Their products are found in small and large venues worldwide, such as theatres, churches, restaurants, hotels, schools, television studios, casinos, theme parks, and opera houses.

ETC’s award-winning products include lighting-control systems, such as the highly sophisticated line of Eos consoles as well as legendary Hog desks. ETC has a lighting solution for every venue, with a wide selection of theatrical luminaires ranging from technologically advanced Source Four LED fixtures to affordable ColorSource fixtures and more.

High End Systems automated lighting delivers powerful beams and exciting effects to stages large and small. For studio and film lighting, fos/4 fixtures feature pristine on-camera light, utilizing deep red LED emitters, in addition to an intuitive user interface.

Architectural products like ETC’s ArcSystem Navis LED luminaires ensure that visitors experience the same beautiful quality of light in every space of a building.

For a smooth show, ETC produces rigging control systems, including Prodigy FlyPipe, a compact self-climbing hoist.

To complete the system, ETC also offers power-control, networking, and emergency-lighting solutions.
