15th Aug 2007 - Zero 88 launch Jester consoles at PLASA 2007

Zero 88 is pleased to announce the launch of the next generation of Jester lighting desks at PLASA 2007. For users seeking an easy to use, fully featured moving light desk, at an affordable price, the Jester ML is the perfect solution.

The Jester consoles were originally introduced in the summer of 2005. They rapidly became the console of choice for small to medium sized venues, gaining rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2006 and 2007.

Offering all the features found in the existing Jesters consoles (monitor support, USB storage and easy patching) the new Jester ML’s also provide the tools needed to work effectively with moving lights, palettes, effects engines and a full fixture library.

Two versions of consoles will be available;

The Jester ML24 offers users control of up to 30 intelligent lights and 24 generics. Shows can either be recorded as a theatrical cue stack or by using 24 submasters.

The Jester ML offers users the ability to work with 30 moving lights and record these onto a cue stack if used as a stand alone console. Using the ‘DMX In’ it is also possible to link the Jester ML to existing Jester lighting desks giving users the option of adding moving lights to existing products at an affordable price. It will also allow for the use of the Jester’s submasters and generic channels with the Jester ML as the master controller.

The new Jester ML range will replace the Fat Frog consoles. This ensures that Zero 88 continues to offer users the best possible choice in entry level to mid range moving light controllers built on the latest technology. Now, with the Jester ML consoles, the Leap Frog range and the Frog 2, users can select a control desk that will control from 30 to 200 plus moving lights all using a similar programming philosophy.
