Echo by ABEX
Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at 10:12AM INCREDIBLY STRONG, YET ELEGANT. FUNCTIONAL, YET REFINED. http://www.echodisplay.com
The heart of the new Echo for Abex is an incredibly strong double-beam OctanormTM 2 3/8 in. square aluminum frame that reduces weight, allows graphic layering, AV options and provides structural integrity.

[feature details]
Echo dispels the myth that you can't take it with you. Echo's rigid aluminum frame can easily support up to a 32" monitor, yet a ten-foot Echo system with two counters and AIRTUB weighs in at less than 1200 pounds for reduced transportation and drayage costs.
The Echo AIRTUB is the world's most advanced exhibit packing system. The result of years of industrial research and design, the Echo AIRTUB weighs hundreds of pounds less than conventional wood crates while offering superior component protection in transit as well as reduced drayage and shipping costs. Numbered components and packing location facilitates parts location to reduce set-up time.



The Abex Colorwave LED System offers an economical LED color change system that comes with 10 pre-set color changing programs, as well as an infrared remote that allows you to change your lighting program on the fly while on the show floor.
-MY REVIEW-
Cost- 10 foot exhibit is 12-15k
Set Up- Can you work an allen wrench? Most of the extrusion systems are pretty easy to set up but it will be easier with two people. The graphics are super easy to add or change. Feel free to change during the show to add spice.
Shipping- Very nice molded shipping tub. Abex has one of the best shipping tubs on the market. Jigged out great and the pieces are always easy to organize by their labeling. Tub has wheels for moving and they can be damaged just like all the rest. They are easy to replace. tubs are usually 5' square and are great to stack. Other cases available.
Outlook- System is custom designed by a real live cool designer-Armen Gharabegian , ethos design http://www.ethosdesign.net/web.html THese types of display layouts remind me of the Web. windows popping up and all. This design is the best of the bunch. The extrusion is Octanorm- also the best of the extrusions. You won't get stuck at a show with a broken tension lock. Both Abex and Octanorm have a long history of good solid production and you can't beat thier shipping tubs.
Allow extra time for ordering and delivery. The production schedule normal but thier is no rushing abex. Well for a rush charge you can, I guess, but they don't like it. They have a good system in place and they do not like to deviate in the time allowed.
Over all- I really like this sytem. It has all the right moves and it is easy to change out the graphics. Great for 10' or larger.
Information of system is from manufacturer website and not written or verified by this writer. The opinion is all me!
