Visitors to the upcoming PLASA tradeshow at Olympia in London will have the chance to demo Obsidian Control Systems' new portable yet full-featured NX1 lighting console. Obsidian invites designers, programmers and operators to Stand E-14 where personnel from Obsidian, as well as UK partner Entedi, will be on hand to demo a host of new Obsidian products.

The newest member of Obsidian Control Systems' ONYX family of lighting consoles, the NX1 offers the complete ONYX experience without compromises in a full-featured yet low-profile design package. A compact, motorized fader wing, the NX P, as well as a small USB-powered control surface for ONYX, the NX K, both ideal companions to the NX1 console, will also be on display. Moreover, the ONYX user experience has recently been enhanced with release of ONYX 4.8 Version software. Several other new lighting control products under the ONYX lighting control platform will also be on hand including new devices in Obsidian's NETRON data distribution line.
