Why ChamSys Consoles Lead the Professional Lighting Industry
High‑Performance Control for Touring & Production
ChamSys consoles are built for professional show environments that demand total reliability. The flagship MagicQ MQ500M and MQ250M Stadium consoles can control up to 256 universes directly, offering motorized faders, dual touchscreens, pixel‑mapping integration, and advanced cue‑stack capabilities. This power allows lighting designers to manage massive rigs of moving heads, LED walls, and effects fixtures all from a single control surface — without external processing nodes.
Consistent Software Across Every Console
Whether you choose a compact QuickQ console or a full‑scale MagicQ Stadium model, every ChamSys desk runs the same core software. This consistency ensures that operators can move seamlessly between models without retraining or file conversion. Show files remain compatible across the entire product range, making upgrades or cross‑rentals simple and efficient — a major benefit for production companies and rental houses managing multiple systems.
Scalable Solutions for Any Application
ChamSys offers a tiered product lineup to match every application and budget:
- QuickQ Series: Intuitive touch‑based control for smaller venues, houses of worship, and schools — perfect for operators new to professional lighting.
- MagicQ MQ50 Compact: Mid‑range professional console with 6 universes, full encoder access, and compact touring form factor ideal for mobile rigs.
- MagicQ MQ500M Stadium: A 256‑universe powerhouse designed for arena shows, broadcast environments, and the largest concert tours.
All models share ChamSys’s advanced MagicQ software platform, meaning your investment grows with your business.
