ETC to mark 50th Anniversary with exciting Product Launches at Prolight + Sound 2025

ETC is gearing up to return to Frankfurt for Prolight + Sound 2025, taking place from April 8-11 at the Messe Frankfurt. In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the company will be showing a series of state-of-the-art products, showcasing its commitment to advancing technology and lighting solutions.

At Prolight + Sound, one of the world’s largest trade shows for live entertainment technology, ETC will present its latest product releases and celebrate its 50th anniversary throughout the four day show on stands C33 and C39 in Hall 12.0. Visitors to ETC's stands can look forward to discovering the latest advancements in lighting, control, networking, power control, and more.

ColorSource PAR V Zoom sees the bestselling ColorSource PAR get an upgrade into the V family with 5-color array for punchy deep saturates while still having nuance in lighter pastels, increased output and wireless DMX and configuration via NFC. It goes from 17 to 41 degrees zoom with just a twist of wrist. ColorSource Fresnel V MAX takes the already popular Fresnel V and turns it to the MAX, nearly doubling the output of the standard Fresnel V, all from the same sized fixture.

Two new High Systems’ effects lights will take center stage: Zeo – a genre-defying fixture, acting as a blinder or strobe while also serving up striking beams, washes, and effects – was a big hit as part of this year’s Superbowl Halftime show. The second, SolaPix Fan 8, a recent addition to the successful SolaPix family, is an eye-catching linear fixture designed to add dimension to your shows.

The best-in-class Halcyon range, including the new fanless Halcyon Silent, as well as Ministar, Lonestar and Hyperstar fixtures will also be on the stand for visitors to experience; and will be shown alongside a preview of the new RigPOV camera system for use within Eos v3.3 and third-party followspot systems.

Experts will preview the new cloud-based monitoring solution ETC SiteLink at the show. The system allows users to monitor their ETC stage machinery, networking, consoles, power controls, architectural lighting and RDM devices from anywhere in the world.

Prolight + Sound will see the public unveiling of the new Foundry Switch Panel, a family of relay racks designed and built in Europe for the 230V market to meet the power needs of venues that have moved to LED. With a range of feature sets to suit any venue, the Foundry Switch Panel integrates into the wider ETC ecosystem.

This year, there will also be exciting new developments to the Hog family of consoles on the stand. Attendees will get the chance to have a first-hand look at the highly anticipated updates during the show. More information will be announced very soon.

ETC European Marketing Manager Rosi Marx comments “ETC’s 50th anniversary marks a major milestone in the company’s history. We’ve continued to evolve and develop new products, and this year’s show will reflect this with our new offering. We are incredibly proud of the journey ETC has been on over the last 50 years, and we’re looking forward to celebrating this achievement with our customers and partners at Prolight + Sound.”

In celebration of ETC’s 50th anniversary, visitors can look out for a special ‘Happy Hour’ event which will be taking place on ETC’s stands from 17:00 CEST, April 8-10.
