Switch 2

Control any sensory effects equipment via any type of switch you can manage, from anywhere in the room, without trailing cables. It's easy, intuitive and computer-free.
The second generation of switch control, evolving from the original Mike Ayres Design Switch Control System.
The concept of control exactly where you are working has proven itself over many years.
It gives you flexibility and portability.
The whole system is fully integrated across a wide range of products and applies the principal of the hidden computer, by just plugging and playing.

What this means is 3 very quick and simple steps to controlling the equipment in exactly the way you want.

1 Switch on
2 Select programme
Latched, momentary, timed and up to 14 different modes in specific equipment.
It will remember your last settings, so you may be able to skip this stage.
3. Plug in switch
Either to a Universal transmitter or directly into the controller.
It will automatically know what type of switch you have plugged in, so will give you the appropriate choices.

And then just use it.
