ChamSys QuickQ+ & MagicQ lighting consoles

From your first light show to a full-scale festival production, ChamSys consoles allow you to control fixtures, LEDs, and moving heads using the same powerful operating system. The QuickQ+ series makes professional lighting control accessible to beginners and those working on a smaller scale, while the MagicQ series offers experienced operators the scalability and flexibility needed for the largest productions. Since both series share the same show files and fixture library, your console grows alongside your ambitions: a show programmed on a QuickQ+ can be loaded onto a MagicQ later without any issues.


ChamSys QuickQ+: powerful lighting control without complexity

The QuickQ+ series represents the new generation of the popular QuickQ consoles. Operation centers on a large touchscreen featuring a smartphone-like interface—complete with icons, gestures such as pinch-to-zoom and scrolling, and built-in tutorial videos that guide you through setup, programming, and operation. This makes the series ideal for DJs, community groups, schools, churches, and rental companies, while still offering the capabilities required by professionals for smaller shows.

Compared to the previous generation, every QuickQ+ model features a larger 11.6-inch screen, dual network ports, and a locking power connector.

What every QuickQ+ has in common:

  • 11.6" multi-touch touchscreen with smartphone-style controls
  • Built-in Wi-Fi and the free QuickQ app (iOS, Android, Windows); connection via QR code
  • Automatic patching of RDM fixtures via RDM-DMX outputs
  • Art-Net and sACN support alongside physical DMX outputs
  • Dual network ports to separate lighting and control data
  • HDMI output (1920 x 1080) for an external monitor, plus audio in and out
  • Fixture library with over 60,000 fixtures, continuously updated
  • Free QuickQ Designer offline software for Mac and Windows to build your show on your computer in advance
  • Locking power connector to prevent accidental power disconnection
  • Show files are compatible with MagicQ for future system upgrades
