With the D9-330 console as one of the main highlights, the sessions promoted by PROMUSIC brought together lighting designers, operators, and technicians from different regions to explore new control tools, video integration, and creative possibilities within the Avolites ecosystem.

Consoles, networking, video integration, and new creative possibilities marked Avolites’ presence at PROMUSIC’s Tech Tour in Chile, an initiative that once again brought together technicians, lighting designers, and operators from different regions around the real evolution of professional lighting control.
Far from being limited to a product demonstration, the sessions served as a space for technical exchange and practical experiences where the Avolites ecosystem showcased how today’s lighting advances toward increasingly integrated systems, connecting lighting, video, processing, and networks within the same operational workflow.
The initiative, which began several years ago, was born from a clear idea: decentralizing access to cutting-edge technical knowledge and bringing top-level working tools beyond Santiago. “This initiative started several years ago as an idea to decentralize cutting-edge technical knowledge for the entertainment industry, specifically in technologies associated with live shows, lighting, and audio,” explained Ricardo Vega, Marketing Manager of PROMUSIC.
The 2026 edition once again consolidated this approach through a technical session held at PROMUSIC’s headquarters in Ñuñoa, where different simultaneous spaces dedicated to lighting, sound reinforcement, RF, and mixing consoles were set up.
In the case of Avolites, the focus was on showing how lighting control no longer depends solely on fixtures or the console itself, but on the ability to integrate multiple technologies within the same operational environment. “We talked about the integration of lighting systems, which is no longer just lighting control, but also integration with video, screens, and all the infrastructure required to properly execute these systems,” detailed Vega.
One of the main points of interest was precisely the integration between lighting and visual content through tools such as Prisma and the Synergy protocol, elements that opened much deeper conversations about design and operation.
“Many people didn’t know these tools existed, and that opened a very interesting conversation about the creative possibilities available today,” commented Vega.
The D9-330 console also captured much of the attendees’ attention. Its modern design, three screens, and integration capabilities positioned it as one of the most discussed elements during the practical demonstrations. “Obviously, it draws a lot of attention because of its construction and because it is a very modern console within a very high-end range,” he acknowledged.
But perhaps one of the most valuable aspects of the Tech Tour was the open and collaborative conversation format proposed by PROMUSIC this year. Unlike previous editions, the organization incorporated local users and national professionals into each technical block, allowing the presentations to be complemented with real touring and live operation experiences.
In the case of Avolites, one of the guests was Chilean lighting designer Bastián Pessoa, recently returned from an extensive international tour in Mexico working with the brand’s platform. His participation helped connect the technology with concrete applications within the professional circuit.
This exchange also made it possible to break down certain myths established within the industry regarding control platforms and operational possibilities. “We were able to demystify certain ideas suggesting that only certain platforms can handle high-level shows. With real examples and concrete experiences, we demonstrated that there are many possibilities for professional creation and operation,” he assured.
Beyond Santiago, the Tech Tour also visited regions such as Viña del Mar, Concepción, and Temuco, hosting discussion sessions in cultural venues and theaters prepared for technical experiences of this level.
The audience mainly included technicians, engineers, operators, rental companies, producers, and students interested in accessing in-person training experiences. “It’s not the same to take an online course as it is to talk with people, interact with the technology, and share real experiences,” Ricardo pointed out.
This human component appears as one of the initiative’s central pillars. Beyond the brands, the goal is to strengthen the community, build networks, and encourage collective learning spaces. “Connections are created, projects and conversations emerge. That is the most important thing for us,” he added.
The public response also confirmed the project’s sustained growth. According to PROMUSIC’s Marketing Manager, this edition attracted an even larger audience than the previous year and allowed for deeper technical content through a much more participatory and specialized dynamic.
From Chile, the Tech Tour leaves one clear idea: the future of lighting control lies in the total integration between systems, visual content, and networked operation.
And in this scenario, Avolites positions itself as a platform capable of connecting all those layers, bringing increasingly advanced tools closer to a technical community seeking to evolve at the pace of the industry.
