Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Desire Series by ETC product.
Desire’s x7 Color System™ seven-hue technology produces a light and color quality that
conventional LED systems cannot duplicate. This unique color system produces bright,
broad-spectrum whites and intense colors equally well, rendering pigments, objects, and
skin tones in a natural way.
Fire and Ice fixtures use elements of the x7 Color System for superior performance in deep
saturated colors.
Studio Daylight and Studio Tungsten fixtures use high-output white LEDs for maximum
brightness and efficacy. Studio Tungsten interacts very well with incandescent sources,
while Studio Daylight easily replaces a variety of HMI lamps and natural sunlight.
Quick Setups
You can use any one of the Quick Setups and fine-tune settings for either console operation
via DMX protocol or standalone operation. For advanced users, an expanded user interface
