USA - Following the extremely successful HedgeHog 4 launch at LDI 2013, High End Systems has further broadened its Hog 4 family with the addition of the HedgeHog 4N. This version adds the ability for the popular compact platform to network with other all other Hog 4 consoles and peripherals and will make it a perfect backup or dimmer city console.

Along with the RackHog 4, which was launched at Pro Light and Sound 2014, HedgeHog 4N will be shipping in Q2.

"We listened to our existing Hog customer base and HedgeHog 4N delivers exactly what they want," says Chris Ferrante, director of product management, "a compact console which can be moved easily, with the additional power of HogNet."
