M6 CONTROLLER TAKES HOME THE PIPA AWARD
To celebrate the 15th Musikmesse International Press Awards (MIPA), the first Prolight+Sound press award was introduced to
coincide with this year’s Prolight+Sound. Every year MIPA invites the participation of over 100 production and entertainment
magazines from around the world to vote for the best musical instruments and audio equipment in more than 40 categories.
Designed to easily handle even the most demanding multimedia shows,
the M6 console can control everything from conventional and moving
lights to the most advanced media server. The console is based on
Martin’s proprietary M-Series™ software platform and provides users
with a highly advanced visual control surface for fast programming and
extensive playback control.
The M6 is Martin’s most advanced console design to date, featuring a total
of 44 playbacks, 10 motorised faders, 12 additional faders, and a total of
17 encoders for parameter access. It also features Martin’s proprietary
LiveBlender™ T-Bar, FastDial™ rotary encoders, and BriteTouch™ display.
Contact Electrosonic SA to arrange for a demo, or to obtain further
information about the M6 console.

This year - to celebrate the 15th MIPA - the first Prolight + Sound Press
Award (PIPA) was introduced. The list of participating magazines was
complemented by magazines from the field of professional audio and
lighting. At this year’s awards Martin Professional’s M6 controller won the
PIPA for best lighting controller.
Matthias Hinrichs, proud Product Manager for Martin, was delighted:
“What a great reward for all of us at Martin and for our loyal user base.
Over the past ten years many people have played a part by providing
feedback and support and by believing in us. Martin would not have
been able to have a successful controller in this highly competitive
market without our growing global community of talented, dedicated
individuals, who have a passion for the M-series controllers. This award
really belongs to all of our users. A big thanks from me to all of you.”
