Expand Your MagicQ Setup
The ChamSys MagicQ Compact Wing enhances the hands-on control of any MagicQ lighting system, providing designers and programmers with additional physical faders and executors for complex shows and quick cue access. Designed to match the MagicQ Compact console series, this portable expansion adds 20 total playbacks — 10 fader and 10 executor playbacks — along with Flash, Go, Pause, and Select buttons for instant cue control during live events. A full-color, high-resolution display shows electronic playback legending, while illuminated fader tracks keep cues visible in dark control environments. When Sweetwater lighting programmers expand MagicQ rigs for larger productions, expansion wings like the Compact Wing are often the first upgrade, offering extra playback surfaces to handle bigger cue stacks without disrupting the familiar MagicQ workflow. With USB connectivity, integrated power, and support for multiple wings, the MagicQ Compact Wing provides a clean, scalable way to extend the control surface of your MagicQ console or PC system.

Seamless integration with MagicQ systems
The MagicQ Compact Wing is designed to seamlessly integrate with the MagicQ platform, whether you’re using a dedicated console or a PC-based MagicQ system. Connecting via USB, the wing instantly extends your available playback surface while remaining compatible with the same show formats and programming workflow used throughout the entire MagicQ family. Two independently paged playback sections let users switch between multiple pages of cues, offering extensive control in a compact form factor. The rear panel features a built-in USB hub for connecting additional wings, enabling scalable expansion for larger productions, as well as a locking Neutrik powerCON connector for secure power delivery. With its balanced layout, illuminated fader tracks, and portable design, the MagicQ Compact Wing is ideal for touring productions, permanent installations, broadcast studios, clubs, theaters, schools, and event setups where extra tactile control can significantly streamline live operation.

These features are seamlessly integrated to streamline your workflow, save valuable time, and make learning easier.
