NEW Chamsys MagicQ MQ250M Stadium Console

Chamsys MagicQ MQ250M Stadium Console w/ flight case

MagicQ MQ250M Stadium combines a high capacity of show control with portability for a complete on-the-go console solution. MQ250M has the ability to control up to 128 universes without any additional processing equipment with the ready-to-go MagicQ software you are already familiar with. With 10 backlit, motorised faders plus 10 backlit playback encoders and executors, the MQ250M gives you substantial hands-on control for busking, cue playback, and fast programming in a compact footprint.

Show Control and Network Output

Designed for modern networked lighting systems, the MQ250M outputs 64 universes direct from the console, expandable to 128 universes, via Art-Net, sACN, and Pathport. For systems that still rely on traditional cabling, the console also provides 4 direct DMX outputs. This mix of network and DMX connectivity makes it easy to integrate into touring rigs, venues, and festival workflows without adding extra processing hardware.

Hands-On Playback and Programmer Layout

The MQ250M provides 20 total playbacks (10 motorised fader playbacks plus 10 encoder playbacks) with RGB illumination for quick visual identification of pages, groups, or looks. It also includes dual 100 mm manual crossfaders, 8 attribute encoders, an intensity wheel, and backlit keys for confident operation in low-light environments.

Displays, Connectivity, and Remote Control

For efficient programming and fixture control, the console features an inbuilt 15 inch Multi HD touch display plus a dedicated 5 inch Attribute/Encoder touch display. You can also connect an external monitor (up to 1920 x 1200) via DisplayPort for expanded workspace. Connectivity includes 4 network ports, 6 USB ports (including 2 high power USBs for charging phones or tablets), and inbuilt Wi‑Fi for connecting to the MagicQ Remote control app.

Audio, Timecode, MIDI, and Integration

MQ250M includes an audio input (1 channel, 7 band) with Sound to Light support, plus audio output. For synchronization and show integration, it also provides MIDI in/out and LTC timecode in/out, along with a 10Scene port.
