ETC 7225A1000-US ColorSource Lighting Controller Console With 20 Faders

The ETC 7225A1000-US ColorSource 20 console is built for users who need a straightforward lighting controller for programming and running shows without unnecessary complexity. As the US model in the ColorSource console family, it is designed around an approachable workflow that helps operators move quickly from setup to playback. This makes it a practical fit for schools, houses of worship, community theatres, and event spaces where ease of operation matters as much as reliable control.

A key differentiator of the ColorSource 20 is its 20-fader surface, giving users immediate hands-on access for direct channel and submaster operation. That tactile layout supports faster changes during rehearsals, cleaner cue building, and simpler live adjustments when compared with menu-heavy control approaches. For teams that want a console format with intuitive operation and familiar physical control, this model is positioned as an efficient option within ETC’s ColorSource range.

For professional AV buyers, the value of this console comes from its balance of accessibility and show control flexibility. It is intended for organizations that need a lighting desk that new users can learn without a steep ramp-up, while still supporting structured programming workflows. If your application calls for a compact console-format lighting controller centered on usability and direct fader access, the ETC 7225A1000-US is a strong candidate.
