Used Jands Hog 1000

The Jands Hog 1000 is a self-contained lighting console offering 1024 DMX channels across two DMX-512 outputs, 16 playback masters and an effects engine capable of complex sequences including rainbows and ballyhoos. It handles any combination of moving and static fixtures, making it practical for productions that need flexible, multi-fixture control without requiring a significantly larger or more expensive desk.

The Hog 1000 was developed through a collaboration between Jands Electronics and Flying Pig Systems. Jands is an Australian company founded in 1970 and based in Sydney, with a background in manufacturing lighting desks, dimmers and other professional equipment. The Hog 1000 was designed to bring the programming logic of the Wholehog II platform to a wider range of users and budgets.

The console supports simultaneous playback of independent cue lists, chases and effects across its 16 masters, which can be dedicated or virtual. Advanced page features include instant changes, cross-fading between pages, flexible sizing, automatic holdover and activity recall. It also supports MIDI In, Thru and Out, timecode input, and a tracking mode that allows it to function as a backup console.

Check that both DMX-512 outputs are functioning, that all 16 playback masters respond correctly, and that the 7 displays are working. MIDI and timecode connectivity are worth testing if those features matter to your workflow. Condition and completeness of the fixture library can also affect value. Used units on this page carry a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults; full details are in the buying guide at 10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide/.

The Hog 1000 includes a comprehensive onboard fixture library and supports web-based library updates, meaning additional fixture profiles can be sourced online. Any fixture can be patched to any location on the desk, and the console is designed to work with moving lights from a wide range of manufacturers alongside conventional static fixtures, treating both types within the same programming workflow.
