LD Richard “Shaggy” Ehmcke relied on an Avolites Titan Mobile console for this year’s Summerland tour by Everclear, Soul Asylum, Eve 6 and Spacehog. The console’s small size and ability to switch out programming for different fixture types is what sold him on the Titan. “I’m not carrying any lights at all, so I’m putting the console itself and my mind through paces.
