ETC has a new "mini-site" for their Ion console. The console is smaller companion to the Eos. Built on the same software, the size is more compact, the banks of faders have been removed, and the built-in touchscreens are also gone. However, there are now a series of Universal Fader Wings for the Ion and Congo Jr. that attach via USB, and the Ion can also support external touchscreen monitors.

As a note: ETC is beginning to phase out the Express and Expression lines as well as Emphasis. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY WILL NOT SUPPORT THOSE PRODUCTS! ETC is exeptional when it comes to supporting legacy products. That doesn’t mean that you can’t still buy them. ETC will keep making them as long as there’s demand and the parts are available.

ETC has also released a beta version of SmartSoft. SmartSoft lets users view, edit and build show data for SmartFade ML. You just have to register on their web forums to download it.

Shure has an excellent article on their website regarding myths about audio gear.
