The earlier "ES-362" models and now the ES-362U have been ESE's cornerstone Timer product for many years, because the unit combines all the best features into one, essential Master Timing unit. It is simple & affordable enough for any person and any budget, but it doesn't lack any functionality. The ES-362U counts up and down, it has ESE's quickest & easiest preset - the thumbwheel, it features a big enough display (0.56" High LEDs) to be used on its own or it can drive as many displays as ESE's most sophisticated Master Clocks. ESE Timers are used in a more diverse array of industries than any of our other products. This specific unit has been used to time everything from High School to Presidential debates and small, independent church productions to church services broadcasting live worldwide. The LX-362U is exactly the same as the ES-362U except for the sleeker, more ruggedized enclosure that was designed for anyone who likes the look and applications where the LX-362U is used on a set or could possibly be captured on camera.
