Founded in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1975, ETC was begun with the passionate belief that there was a better way to make a lighting control console. A small group of university students challenged themselves by creating a microprocessor-based console that outdid other boards on the market at the time. That entrepreneurial spirit grew into an award-winning business. To learn more about ETC and our history of innovation, visit
