InnovaSON Eclipse

InnovaSON's high-end live console

Description

The Eclipse is InnovaSON's live flagship, from the Brittany maker that invented digital stage-to-FOH audio transport well before it became the norm. Up to 320 inputs, an integrated 64-track recorder (M.A.R.S.) and direct support for Neumann digital microphones: a bold proposition for its day. I have always had a soft spot for InnovaSON's engineering — ahead of its time and a little apart.
