Touring often involves adapting to changing conditions in each new venue. Whether it means small but important changes to the physical spacing of the rig, or using a few more lights in some venues than in others, or actually adapting the plot to what is hanging in the venue when you arrive, you have your work cut out for you.  Bring the console that rises to the challenge and helps eliminate the tedious and repetitious parts of this adaptive technique.

ChamSys knows what this process is like, because MagicQ was created by people who also were working lighting designers and programmers.  Their insights into how to make the daily adjustments go smoothly are based on real-world experience in your shoes. This is what makes MagicQ the ultimate touring console.

Supporting the touring Lighting Director/Operator when they tackle this kind of lighting challenge is at the core of the design philosophy that backs MagicQ, so you can bring their consoles out on the road fully supported by advanced features like Morphing, Cloning, Patch Offsetting, and of course a workflow that takes full advantage of Palettes, Groups, and FX engines.

“The MQ500 is the finest console available for this application. When you need to busk something, or find a look in the programmer and seamlessly integrate it into a programmed show, there is no faster professional console than the MQ500.”

“The networking on the MQ500 was critically important. I used it to grab a number of values from the festival console and grab things like position palettes to speed up the process. I am always amazed by how easy this is to do on the MQ500.”
