What we stock
ChamSys MagicQ systems are built for professional lighting control, giving operators the tools to manage cue-heavy shows, complex rigs, pixel mapping, media playback and live event workflows without overcomplicating the desk.
From MagicQ Stadium consoles and MQ500 desks to MQ250, MQ70, QuickQ systems and control wings, ChamSys offers options for touring productions, theatres, schools, venues, houses of worship, studios and rental inventory.
The ChamSys MQ500 Stadium is built for demanding lighting-control environments, including concert touring, festivals, theatre, corporate events, broadcast and houses of worship.
For buyers managing larger rigs or more complex show files, a used MQ500 Stadium console can be a commercially sensible route into high-level ChamSys control, especially when supplied with a flightcase, accessories and clear condition information.
ChamSys MQ250, MagicQ MQ70 and compact MagicQ consoles are suited to venues, theatres, production companies and operators who need professional control in a more manageable format.
These desks are useful for buyers who want the ChamSys workflow without moving into the largest Stadium consoles, making them practical for rental stock, corporate events, schools, studios and smaller touring setups.
ChamSys QuickQ consoles are designed for simpler lighting environments where ease of use, speed and clear control are important.
They are often a good fit for schools, churches, small venues, studios, hospitality spaces and basic event setups where users need reliable lighting control without the learning curve of a larger professional desk.
Used ChamSys wings, control surfaces and accessories can help expand an existing MagicQ workflow, add hands-on control or provide a more flexible programming setup for live events, venues and touring packages.
When buying used ChamSys accessories, check compatibility with your current system, software requirements, power supply, physical condition, cabling and whether the item is being sold with its original case or packaging.
