Winner of the TCI Product of the Year Award, the Obsession II console takes lighting control to a higher level of sophistication. Designed with professionals in mind, Obsession II makes the most complex and imaginative lighting possible. Broadway productions, Opera houses, and national TV production studios are some of the demanding venues that choose this console.
The Obsession II breaks out of console convention with its radical ergonomic design. All of Obsession II's controls are located for the most fluid accessibility. Keys, wheels, and even the spaces in between have been rethought for maximum facility and minimum reach. The console's shape and sculpted edges are designed to eliminate operator fatigue.
ETC's exclusive Multiuser function means you can do multiple tasks at one time. Program conventional and Moving Lights simultaneously, on separate consoles, while the Lighting Designer works at the production table. At the same time, up to eight electricians can access circuits around the stage via handheld remotes. Your technical staff can stop waiting and keep working?more efficiently than ever before.
And as networked systems become more common and more complex, the Obsession II and ETCNet2 master the most highly integrated of Ethernet environments.

Electronic Theatre Controls
Since its founding by Fred Foster in 1975, ETC (Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc.) has become a global leader in award-winning entertainment and architectural lighting equipment. ETC's fixtures, lighting control consoles, dimmers and distribution products are the backbone of lighting systems in venues worldwide - from schools and churches, to community theaters and TV studios, to opera houses and theme parks.
Over the first decade of its history, ETC earned a reputation for sophisticated microprocessor-based lighting control consoles. By 1990, ETC had acquired Lighting Methods, Inc., a Rochester, New York-based manufacturer of entertainment dimming systems. ETC quickly became one of the largest fully-integrated entertainment lighting control manufacturers in North America, with offices in Middleton, WI; Orlando, FL; Rochester, NY; and Hollywood, CA. The next phase of growth began in 1995, when ETC acquired the lighting control division of London-based distributor ARRI GB. That same year, ETC opened an office in Hong Kong, extending its expansion into Asia. In 1997, ETC opened an office in Copenhagen, Denmark, to serve the Northern European market, and a year later opened an office in Rome, allowing greater access to Southern Europe. ETC acquired Transtechnik Lichtsysteme, Holzkirchen, Germany in 2002, widening ETC's market potential in Europe. Continuing its growth, ETC took an equity position in Avab France in 2003. In 2004, ETC acquired Dutch sine wave dimming manufacturer IES and its industrial weighing and measuring division Penko Engineering BV, both located in Veenendaal, the Netherlands. Beginning March 31, 2005, all formerly separate operations of ETC in Europe joined under the common corporate banner of ETC. ETC's new international headquarters, located in Middleton, WI (near the state capital Madison) serve as hub of global administration and manufacturing.
Through the years, ETC has gained an industry-wide reputation for outstanding service and customer support. ETC not only maintains in-house, 24-hour Technical and Customer Service staffs, but an extensive network of factory-trained, authorized field service centers.
