Avolites Pearl Expert Lighting Controller — buyer FAQs
What is the Avolites Pearl Expert Lighting Controller and what kind of shows is it built for?
The Avolites Pearl Expert is a professional lighting console designed for larger, more demanding shows. It is built on the Pearl operating system and runs Titan software on a dual-core, multi-threading processor. Sixty preset faders, each with Swop, Flash and Fixture buttons, a unique split roller for festival busking and complex shows, and instant access to timed palettes give lighting designers extensive live control.
Who makes the Pearl Expert and where does it sit in the Avolites range?
The Pearl Expert is made by Avolites, a British manufacturer of lighting and visual control systems founded in 1976 and based in London. Avolites is known for its Titan control software and range of lighting consoles for live events, theatre and broadcast, and became part of Czech manufacturer Robe in 2023. The Pearl Expert sits as a high-performance console within that range, aimed at designers running larger and more complex productions.
How many DMX universes does the Pearl Expert support, and what connectivity does it offer?
The Pearl Expert provides 4 fully isolated and protected DMX universes. It also offers Ethernet output via ArtNet and Wendi protocols. Additional connectivity includes CD/DVD read/write, USB memory pen connection, a full QWERTY keyboard and mouse pad built into a console drawer, and an inbuilt floppy disk drive for loading and saving Pearl 2004 files.
What fixture library and show storage options does the Pearl Expert include?
The Pearl Expert carries an integral fixture library of over 1,500 fixture files. Show files are stored and automatically backed up to an inbuilt hard disk, so work is preserved without manual saves. An on-screen colour picker allows instant colour creation, and the console also supports loading and saving of Pearl 2004 files via its inbuilt floppy disk drive.
What should I check when buying a used second-hand Pearl Expert?
When buying a used Pearl Expert, check the condition of the 60 preset faders, the dual rollers and the split roller mechanism, as these see heavy use on touring shows. Confirm which software version is installed and that the inbuilt hard disk, CD/DVD drive and USB connection are all functional. Verify the DMX outputs and Ethernet ports work correctly. Listings on this page include condition details, and every purchase carries a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults.
