Description
MagicQ on a laptop is powerful, but running a fade on a touchpad is always a compromise. Mid-show you want real faders under your fingers, not a mouse cursor you lose track of in the dark. The ChamSys MagicQ Compact Wing plugs into your PC or Mac over USB and gives you 20 physical playbacks to drive your MagicQ software. You program on the screen, you play on the wing.
One USB-C cable to your computer and you have 10 faders with illuminated tracks and 10 executors, each with its own buttons. The full-colour touchscreen shows electronic legends above every playback, so you see at a glance what sits where. Both sections page independently, and the built-in USB hub lets you chain a second wing. The power supply is internal, behind a PowerCon True1 socket, so no external adapter.

Pro Tip: Put your cue stacks and chases on the faders and keep the executors free for busking: strobes, blinders and haze on a single button. Leave the executor section on a fixed page while you page the faders per song, so your emergency buttons always stay in the same spot.

FAQ
Do I need a ChamSys console to use the Compact Wing?
No. It runs straight from a PC or Mac with the MagicQ software. DMX output then goes over your network (Art-Net or sACN) or through a ChamSys interface.
Can I do all my programming on it too?
The wing is built for playback: faders, executors and paging. Patching and programming happen on your computer screen, with mouse, keyboard or touchscreen.
Do I need a separate power supply?
No. The power supply is built in and runs on 100 to 240 V through PowerCon True1. The USB cable carries data only.
Can I connect it to a MagicQ console later on?
Yes. If you move up to a MagicQ console one day, the same wing plugs in over USB as an extra playback section.
