Disguise launches lower-cost X2 and X3 systems to streamline live production workflows

Disguise has expanded its X Series with the introduction of the X2 and X3, offering smaller-scale productions 4K outputs and seamless integration with larger systems, enhancing flexibility and reducing costs for touring, festivals, and corporate events.

Disguise has expanded its X Series with X2 and X3, a move that broadens access to its Designer software for smaller live productions while keeping the same workflow used on larger shows. The company said the new options are aimed at DJ sets, theatre tours, festivals and corporate brand events, with the latest models adding two and three 4K outputs respectively.

The launch builds on the earlier X1 system, which Disguise says has already been used across live events, immersive installations and brand activations. Among the examples cited are Charlie Puth’s European tour, TennoCon’s 2025 conference and the Dunham Massey Christmas light trail installation. According to industry reports, X2 and X3 have also been available to selected customers since earlier this year and are already supporting productions for David Guetta, Martin Garrix and Central Cee.

Raed Al Tikriti, Disguise’s chief product and technology officer, said the X Series is intended to give more users access to the company’s ecosystem at a lower price point, while preserving the ability to work on customer-owned hardware, including a Windows laptop. The practical appeal, for production teams, is that projects can move between X1, X2, X3 and Disguise’s larger media servers without rebuilding the show file from scratch when a venue changes or a production scales up.

That continuity is important for touring and festival work, where time, transport and reprogramming costs can quickly mount. A beta tester for X2 on Central Cee’s tour said the system allowed the team to keep full quality on smaller US dates before moving back to GX 3 media servers for larger European arena shows, with show changes carrying across cleanly. Another programmer, working on Martin Garrix’s festival productions, said the same show file could be reused across venues, reducing the need to start again on a different platform.

Disguise also used the launch to introduce MyDisguise, a new platform for managing software subscriptions and purchasing licences in one place. The X Series starts at $600 per month, positioning the range as a more accessible route into the company’s Designer workflow for smaller-scale productions that still need broadcast-grade output and portability.
