Product Overview
Made to control everything from conventional and moving lights to advanced media servers, Elation's M6 state-of-the-art lighting console functions as a highly advanced visual control surface.
Based on the well-proven M-Series software platform, the M6 provides fast programming and extensive playback control all from one console.
