M2GO unique features
Built-in processor
Small footprint
Professional design
…sometimes it takes
more than a wing to
fly. The M2GO
offers the best of
both worlds. It has
its own processor
while offering the
smaller footprint of
a typical console
wing. Its rugged
design will
guarantee years of
loyal service…

Carry-on anywhere
Lightweight
Portable
Airport-friendly
…because it is so
small and
lightweight, the
M2GO can easily be
moved by a single
person and can be
conveniently carried
onboard most
airliners as carry-on
luggage …

Lighting is about contrast…
Now you see me!
Now you don’t!
It’s gray for a good
reason…
…it’s all about
contrast.
…contrast of the user
surface is of great
importance. On a
typical event, the
stage is often very
bright while the
control booth is quite
dark. Under such
conditions, a black
surface and black
buttons don’t work
well together. Even
backlit keys can
cause sight issues in
such a dark
environment…

…all show files
made in the M1 or

compatible with
the M2GO. The
same goes for
show files made
on the M2GO -
they will load
properly on any
M-Series product
with the same or
higher software
