April 3rd, 2025 - 14:05
Hog Lighting Control: Power, Flexibility, and Innovation

Released as a new generation of consoles, the latest Hog lineup is built to meet the demands of performing arts venues, touring theatre productions, and live events of all sizes. Whether you need a powerful standalone system or a flexible setup that integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, there’s a solution for every show.
Features that Resonate with New and Long-time Users

“We’ve kept the core design that fans know and love while making thoughtful updates that will resonate with long-time Hog users. At the same time, we made the workflow smoother and more intuitive for new programmers. This new generation of Hog provides us with the sound footing we need to take Hog into the future.”.
– Sarah Clausen, senior product manager
Built with user experience in mind, the new Hog series refines the familiar workflow that programmers love while offering an intuitive and accessible entry point for new users. The Tour Hog delivers a portable yet powerful solution with motorized RGB-backlit keys, high-resolution displays, and a streamlined design-perfect for fast-paced touring productions. For those seeking greater customization, the Stage Hog offers the same control surface in a modular format, allowing users to integrate their own monitors and accessories for a tailored setup.

For compact spaces and smaller productions, the Flex Hog provides precision control in a sleek, minimalist design, while the Gig Hog programming wing ensures maximum flexibility with USB-C connectivity, motorized faders, and seamless integration with Hog PC or HPU hybrid processors.
