Core offering

Avolites designs, manufactures, and sells professional lighting control consoles (Diamond 9, Sapphire Touch, Arena, Tiger Touch II, Quartz) and media server systems (Ai) for live events, concerts, theatre, broadcast, and architectural installations. The product portfolio centers on the proprietary Titan lighting control operating system and Ai media server software, supported by dimming hardware, DMX distribution, and networking accessories. The company sells directly, through global distributors, certified programmers, and rental partners to professional lighting operators and event production companies worldwide.

Product overview

Avolites is a UK-based manufacturer of professional lighting control and media server solutions, celebrating 50 years of creative visual control. The product portfolio spans two core platforms: Titan lighting control (consoles and software) and Ai media server software. Titan ranges from portable interfaces (Titan One, Titan Mobile) through compact consoles (Quartz, Tiger Touch II) to flagship consoles (Arena, Sapphire Touch, Diamond 9), all running the unified Titan software. Ai media server offers software-only (Ai PC Suite) with three license tiers (Anjuna, Bondi, Miami) controlling canvas resolution (2048x2048 to 16384x16384), output count (2 to 31), and fixture support (4 to 20). Synergy enables tight integration between Titan and Ai for combined lighting and media control. Additional offerings include Prism media players, dimming hardware (Powercube, ART), DMX distribution (ART2000), and network processing (Titan Net Processor). The Diamond 3 was launched in early 2026 alongside software v19.1 updates for all console platforms.

Emerging players

• Brompton Technology: Brompton Technology makes LED video processors (Tessera) used in concert touring and broadcast — adjacent to Avolites Ai's LED mapping functionality. Both address LED wall workflow needs in live-event productions and increasingly integrate with major consoles.
• ArKaos: ArKaos produces media server software (MediaMaster, GrandVJ) for live events and VJing, overlapping with Avolites Ai's media playback and stage visualization capabilities. Both serve the live-event video market with node-based effects engines.
• Robe Lighting: Robe is a major lighting fixture manufacturer that supplies fixtures to rental companies served by Avolites consoles. While not a direct console competitor, Robe works closely with console vendors and could expand into control surfaces or partner-integrated solutions.
• OBSidian (Onyx / Elation Professional): Elation Professional's Obsidian Onyx control platform competes with Avolites Titan in mid-market and small-venue segments, particularly as Elation expands its integrated console-and-fixture bundle strategy. Both target the same lighting designer persona with similar DMX/ArtNet feature sets.

Direct peers

• disguise (formerly d3 Technologies): disguise produces media servers and the d3 production system for projection mapping and live-event video, directly competing with Avolites Ai. Both serve the same concert touring, broadcast, and architectural projection-mapping customers with similar node-based programming environments.
• ChamSys: ChamSys (now owned by Chauvet) makes MagicQ consoles and competes with Avolites Titan across small-to-mid-market venues, houses of worship, and touring. The two platforms overlap significantly in fixture library support and feature parity for the price-sensitive segment.
• MA Lighting: MA Lighting's grandMA2 and grandMA3 consoles are the dominant competitor in large-format touring and broadcast lighting control, competing directly with Avolites Diamond, Sapphire Touch, and Arena consoles for the same lighting operator and rental customer base.
• Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC): ETC is the leading manufacturer of professional lighting control consoles (Eos, Gio, Ion, Element) competing head-to-head with Avolites Titan in theatre, broadcast, and concert touring. Both serve the same lighting designer and rental company segments with similar DMX/ArtNet/sACN-based control surfaces.
• High End Systems (an ETC brand): High End Systems (Hog 4, Full Boar, Road Hog consoles) is a direct Avolites competitor in the touring and events lighting console market, particularly in mid-market consoles. After acquisition by ETC, it benefits from ETC's R&D scale while still addressing the same operator persona.

Broad incumbents

• Martin Professional / Harman: Martin Professional (a Harman brand) manufactures both lighting fixtures and the M-Series controllers, providing integrated lighting solutions that compete broadly with Avolites in entertainment lighting. As a much larger conglomerate-backed player, Martin competes across the full stack.
